Best CBD For Relaxation and Calming

Is it true that CBD oil can help you to relax and sleep better? Yes, it is true. CBD oil has a broad range of applications and uses. Relaxation and sleep typically go hand in hand, but sometimes getting both can be hard to come by. Today, we take a look at using CBD for relaxation, and cover the best product on the market for doing so.

Will CBD Actually Help You Relax?

Some studies have discovered that it may have good potential as a treatment for both anxiety and stress (among other health benefits). CBD is believed to interact with different receptors that make up the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating our moods.

While more research is needed to fully understand the effects of CBD on the body, preliminary results look very, very good. Also keep in mind that the Food and Drug Administration has not approved CBD as a treatment for any medical condition.

One study that investigated the effects of CBD on relaxation is titled “Cannabidiol reduces the anxiety induced by simulated public speaking in treatment-naïve social phobia patients” by Crippa et al. (2011). The study used 24 patients that were all diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (SAD). These patients were randomly assigned to receive either a single dose of CBD (600 mg) or a placebo before giving a public speech.

The results?

This study concluded that the group who received CBD had significantly lower anxiety, cognitive impairment, and discomfort in their speech performance, when compared to the placebo group who did not have much change at all.

Choosing a CBD for Relaxation

If you want to try to use CBD for relaxing, it’s important to understand something: buying a quality CBD oil to help you relax matters. Your choice of CBD oil supplier should be able to prove they produce pure CBD oil, which is very safe, and very effective.

Many CBD oils are blended with other forms of oils. When it comes to sleep and relaxation, your choice of CBD oil should be as pure as possible.

Yes, you may pay a little bit more, but the results are worth it.

Keep in mind, though, if you’re looking for effective results, it is important to choose a CBD oil that’s real, and properly dosed. This is especially true when you experience serious issues that lead to anxiety, and even panic attacks.

Only buy CBD products from organizations that are easy to get in touch with, and have some sort of guarantee on their product. I realize that while we have a 100% money back guarantee, not everyone else will – and that’s ok. As long as you can get in touch with someone on the phone quickly, you should be fine. These types of CBD companies usually sell the best CBD oils for anxiety and relaxation – among other symptoms.

Far too many CBD companies in the health and wellness space want to just take your money without genuinely caring about the results of their CBD products. Please, exercise some caution and avoid buying the cheapest CBD oil tinctures you can find. This is a sure fire way to get scammed.

How Much CBD Is Needed To Help Relax?

You’re going to need to figure out how many mg of CBD is needed to help your body relax. While there is no defined dosage of CBD by the Food and Drug Administration (yet), we can tell you that most people take somewhere between 25 mg and 75 mg of CBD as a single dose. You should take it as needed, or throughout the day if you find you are constantly worked up all day long. Start with the lowest dose of CBD possible to feel an effect.

How to Enhance the Way Your CBD Oil Works

Yes, there are ways in which you can make sure your CBD works as effectively as possible. For instance, it is very important to “take” your CBD oil in the right way.

CBD is a natural remedy and it should be treated as such. Different forms of CBD products will work differently, and take varying amounts of time to kick in. If you want to relax, we recommend sticking with CBD oil tinctures, and maybe gummies – if you don’t mind waiting a bit longer for them to work.

Just like with homoeopathy remedies, you should not have any coffee or other stimulants after you have taken your CBD oil. If you can avoid any stimulants an hour before you use, you’ll find it works better in helping you relax.

Mediation and CBD Oil

Deep relaxation and sleep produce alpha waves in our brains. It is thought that CBD oil increases the frequency of alpha wave activity in the brain. An exciting new study on the link between CBD and alpha wave activity has just been published, too.

The more relaxed we feel, the more alpha waves our brain is producing. We can increase the alpha waves by practicing things like yoga, and meditation. Scientists know that when we practice meditation, our brains produce more alpha waves.

If you are currently experiencing problems with sleeping, and have tried meditation, you can try using CBD for relaxation enhancement. It just may be what you need to take the edge off.

Many find meditation challenging. If it is not for you, but you would still like to encourage your brain to produce more alpha waves, you can try watching ASMR videos. Many ASMR videos produce similar results to what medication can do for you.

The Best CBD for Relaxing During the Day

Pure, by New Phase Blends, is the best CBD oil for helping relax your body and mind throughout the day. It will help you get into a peaceful, relaxing state of being without putting you to sleep. If you are looking for something to help you sleep, we’ll cover that next.

New Phase Blends bottles of pure CBD are clearly labelled pure. You can choose between citrus and natural mint flavors. You can also decide if you would like to buy Full Spectrum or Broad Spectrum CBD Oil, since some people have different preferences in this area.

On top of that, you can choose between 1000 mg and 2000 mg of CBD per tincture. If you have not previously used CBD oil for relaxation, starting with 1000mg may be advisable.

CBD Oil for Sleep and Relaxation

What makes New Phase Blends CBD oil for sleep and relaxation truly unique? This is one of the few natural sleep-enhancing products that make the best of two worlds.

Not only does the oil contain pure CBD, but the CBD content is also enhanced and boosted by melatonin. This is a very special combination and is currently pending a US patent for use as a sleep aid.

Melatonin is the sleep hormone and it helps both to fall and stay asleep. Unfortunately, our melatonin production is often out of balance. Electronic gadgets such as tablets and smartphones produce a light that interrupts melatonin production in the brain.

If you suspect this to be the problem, it is a good idea to stop using smart devices at least one hour before you go to bed. Many who use smartphones and other smart devices during the day for long periods of time claim they find it hard to relax. There is definitely a connection.

Is this CBD oil for relaxation at night psychoactive? Absolutely not. New Phase Blends CBD oil for sleep is THC free, and non-intoxicating.

Finally, sleep comes in both gummy and CBD oil form, for those who have a preference. Both work well, and both are guaranteed to help you sleep better – or your money back.

Can I Safely Use CBD Oil to Relax Every Night?

There is absolutely no reason why you can’t use CBD oil every night. Once again, don’t forget to use a high-quality CBD product. I cannot stress this enough. If you use a CBD oil which has not been filtered as well as a quality CBD oil, you risk headaches and perhaps side effects from the oil.

CBD For Muscle Relaxation

Sometimes our muscles become over worked, or cramp up without going back to a state of relaxation. Having a hard session in the gym, or even a hard day at work can cause this. If your muscles cannot relax, it can be painful – and even dangerous. Consider using some sort of CBD muscle balm to help your muscle tissue relax. Balms are topical CBD products that are meant to be applied on the skin over the area that has problems.

Your skin will absorb the CBD and get it into your bloodstream rather quickly. Expect results within minutes.

CBD Gummies for Relaxation and Anxiety

Of all the CBD products CBD brands sell, CBD gummies are probably the most popular. They are simple to use, taste good, and have a predetermined mg of CBD per gummy. This makes dosing them extremely simple. One gummy should be one serving.

Avoid companies that sell a serving size of multiple gummies. There is no excuse for this, other than to drive up the cost. For context, one of our pure CBD gummies has 45 mg of CBD per gummy. Some companies produce gummies with as little as 10 mg of CBD per gummy. That is a very, very low amount.

What Kind of CBD For Relaxation is Best?

There are two main kinds (spectrums) of CBD that you’ll notice when shopping around:

• Broad spectrum CBD oil
• Full spectrum CBD oil

Broad spectrum CBD oils contain all of the beneficial plant chemicals within cannabis, but their THC content is near 0.0%. Broad spectrum CBD oil will not get you high.

Full spectrum CBD oils contain all of the beneficial plant chemicals within cannabis, but the THC content in a full spectrum CBD oil will be near 0.3% THC. Full spectrum CBD oil won’t get you high either.

Neither spectrum is better than the other. It all comes down to personal preference. Some people have the mindset that a little bit of THC makes the product work better. This is known as the entourage effect, however, there is no scientific evidence to back this claim.

Editor’s note: There is, technically, a third spectrum of CBD products known as CBD isolate. CBD isolate used to be popular back in 2019, but has since faded away. Many people want the benefits of other plant chemicals within hemp that a CBD isolate does not offer. As the name suggests, CBD isolate is only CBD – nothing else.

Can I Use CBD Products to Help Relax From Anxiety?

Yes, many people use CBD oils for anxiety reduction. CBD oils, as discussed earlier, can help calm you down by how they interact with our endocannabinoid system. Read our article on taking CBD oil for anxiety to learn more information about this.
