CBD oil and its Mode of Action on Anxiety.
One of the most common and dangerous mental disorders is anxiety. Artificially made drugs are the most common treatment drugs used to treat anxiety. It is possible to relieve incidences of anxiety very effectively by using CBD oil which is a natural extract of the hemp plant and has no negative side effects.
Extraction of CBD oil is achieved from the hemp plant but its TCH content which causes an intoxicating effect is in very low or no traces at all. The CBD oil is used in many products such as edibles, topical sprays and ointments, e-liquids, and tinctures. These products contain the CBD oil and you can’t get high on them as their level of THC are low allowing you to enjoy the medicinal benefits of the CBD oil infused within them. If you are suffering from anxiety, here is how you get relief from using the CBD oil as medication.
Every human being and every animal has a physiological endocannabinoid system which contains a variety of cannabinoid receptors. CB1 and CB2 are some of the receptors and are stimulated by the cannabinoids such as CBD oil. After the receptors are stimulated by the CBD oil, the stimulation is spread throughout your body system. It is possible for anxiety to cause an imbalance in your body but the opposite is quite rare. The imbalance in your body caused by anxiety is brought back to balance by the endocannabinoid system containing the cannabinoid receptors.
The CBD interacts with the ECS to relieve the anxiety in three major ways. The first mode of action is that the CBD regulates the stress signals by calming down the stress circuits in your brain hence regulates the amount of stress going to the rest of your body through the central nervous system.
Another mode of action is that the CBD activates 5-HT1A serotonin receptor which is related to neurological processes such as anxiety. The mode of action of the 5-HT1A serotonin protein receptors is that it stimulates the production of other receptors which in turn work together and bring down you heightened anxiety levels. Regulation of the HPA axis is the last mode of action of the CBD oil in calming down anxiety. Secretion of glucocorticoids hormones is regulated by the HPA axis and the hormone aids significantly in the moderating the response to stress. Anxiety if left unchecked can lead to mental illness but taking CBD oil products initiates either of the above three modes of action and alleviates an anxious individual from their heightened condition.
Different people have different ways through which the anxiety can manifest itself. Some of the ways anxiety can manifest in a person include Panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder. You can get relief from any of these disorders by taking CBD oil as it initiates any of the three modes of action and keeps you feeling normal in any setting.
