What You Need to Know About CBD Oil for Menopause
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles and the accompanying changes that occur directly before or after the end of menstruation.
It occurs when menstruation has been absent for 12 consecutive months, and natural conception is no longer possible.
Menopause usually begins between the ages of 45 and 55 but can occur before or after this age range.
Symptoms of Menopause
Every woman’s experience with menopause is unique, but symptoms are typically more severe when menopause occurs suddenly or within a short period.
Conditions that affect ovarian health, such as cancer or hysterectomy, as well as unhealthy habits like smoking, generally intensify the severity and duration of symptoms.
Common signs of perimenopause include:
- Irregular menstruation
- Heavier or lighter menstrual flow
- Hot flashes, night sweats, and flushing
Other common symptoms of menopause include:
- Insomnia
- Vaginal dryness
- Weight gain
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Difficulty concentrating
- Memory problems
- Decreased libido and sexual desire
- Headaches
- Heart palpitations
- Urinary tract infections
- Reduced muscle and bone mass
- Painful or stiff joints
How CBD Oils Work
Some of the cannabinoids found in the hemp plant can also be produced by our own bodies. These compounds, called endocannabinoids, have been studied to understand their potential role in:
- Digestive processes
- Memory function
- Pain perception
- Regulating sleep
These endocannabinoids, like CBD, are incredibly powerful and can aid in various bodily functions to help you feel your best.
Research on CBD Oil for Menopause
Clinical research on CBD, including studies related to menopausal symptoms, is still ongoing. The studies that have been done are very positive and show great promise in this area of health.
Using CBD Oil to Alleviate Menopausal Symptoms
- Many women experience a decline in sleep quality during menopause. A 2019 study examined the clinical application of CBD for anxiety and sleep issues.
- The hormonal changes during menopause pose a higher risk for depression and anxiety. A 2015 study explored the potential use of CBD in these areas.
- During menopause, estrogen levels decrease, and inflammation can cause joint pain in the knees, shoulders, neck, hands, and elbows. A 2015 animal experiment investigated whether CBD can affect inflammation and pain and found that it greatly reduced inflammation.
Currently, numerous studies similar to the ones mentioned above are being conducted to examine the positive effects of CBD oil on menopause.
