The Benefits of CBD Oil for Women

Sky Wellness is strongly committed to helping everyone find relief through the natural compounds of the hemp plant, especially cannabidiol (CBD), the plant’s dominant chemical compound. Many of us are familiar with at least some of the properties for which CBD has become known, but today we will be talking specifically about what this compound and others in the hemp plant can offer to women.

What Are Women Using CBD Primarily For?

Did you know there are many chronic symptoms and ailments that affect more women than men? Plus given the holistic means through which hemp has been found to potentially offer relief, CBD products are a great addition to a woman’s daily routine. 

#1: Sleep 

Women are more likely to develop chronic insomnia than men, and further, sleeping difficulties are a common effect of fluctuating hormones throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle. Estrogen and progesterone have a large influence on sleep, and as hormone levels change throughout the month, a hormonal imbalance can occur that makes sleep extremely difficult to maintain.

Study: Cannabidiol and other prominent cannabinoids of the hemp plant have been shown in studies to have a positive effect on sleep, helping with both sleep onset and sleep maintenance. 

What to Try: Sky Wellness BD Sleep Softgels combine CBD with CBN (noted calming cannabinoid in the hemp plant), as well as melatonin (naturally derived ingredient that behaves like the melatonin in the brain that dictates our sleep cycle) that can be taken a half hour before bedtime.

#2: Stress 

We all know the negative effects that long-term or severe stress can have on our health.  If our “fight or flight” mechanism is always activated, every system of our body can be depleted, while our risks of heart disease and other serious ailments start to increase. Women are particularly prone to chronic stress, for all kinds of reasons ranging from hormonal fluctuations to climbing pressure to maintain a fruitful career and provide care at home.

Study: CBD seems to have a balancing effect on neurotransmitters in the brain, helping to regulate how cortisol is secreted to produce a sense of equilibrium pertaining to mood. 

What to Try: Sky Wellness Relax Tincture 1000mg Tropical Smoothie is a great choice with its delicious flavor and moderate strength.

#3: Pre-Menstrual Discomfort

An alarming number of women describe experiencing severe pain around the time of their periods, and this pain usually involves uterine cramping that can become debilitating. Other forms of pain that can affect women during this time include pain in the lower back, shoulders, and neck. When a woman’s body is menstruating, higher levels of prostaglandins are found in the body which lead to pain.

Study on What CBD Can Do: Hemp offers both anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that can work together to potentially offer some level of relief. 

What to Try: For fast results, try Sky Wellness CBD Max Relief Roll-On with Lidocaine. Our mess-free application will provide the maximum relief for hard-to-reach areas delivering pain blocking properties instantly.


#4: Low Mood

Mood-related issues are common among women, especially in those with hormonal imbalances. Our moods largely depend on the proper balance of estrogen and progesterone, and all kinds of factors can throw this balance off, including stress, poor diet, lack of exercise and poor lifestyle habits. Women reportedly experience a higher risk of developing depression after menopause as hormone levels begin to plummet.

Study on What CBD Can Do: As we have mentioned above, cannabidiol seems to offer distinctive regulating effects to the neurotransmitters that dictate our mood at any given time. This means that by maintaining a daily routine with hemp, we may be able to experience a more balanced and consistent mood rather than displaying extreme mood changes throughout the day.

What to Try: Sky Wellness CBD Focus Vape Cartridge can provide balance to the crucial centers of the brain that relate to mood. A blend of uplifting and relaxing terpenes join forces to help promote a sense of emotional equilibrium.

#5: Mood Instability 

Mood swings are a common symptom of PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome), as hormones can severely fluctuate in preparation for menstruation. As we have mentioned above, cannabidiol seems to offer distinctive regulating effects to the neurotransmitters that dictate our mood at any given time. This means that by maintaining a daily routine with hemp, we may be able to experience a more balanced and consistent mood rather than displaying extreme mood changes throughout the day.

#6: Hormonal Distress

While studies on the topic are still in their early stages, a growing body of evidence suggests that cannabidiol may have an overall balancing effect on female hormones. This is not too surprising when we consider the ultimate role of cannabinoids, which is to bind to cannabinoid receptors in every major system of the body to regulate their functions.  Hormonal balance is a critical function of the endocrine system, and relies heavily on a balanced and functional nervous system as well. We anticipate that more research will be done on this topic in the future, but the bottom line is that taking CBD daily in an effort to balance the hormones can’t hurt.

Furthermore, due to the strong connection between stress levels and hormonal balance, hemp cannabinoids may indirectly promote hormonal regulation by managing stress so that hormones are not strongly affected.

#7: Burnout

Many women report feelings of constant fatigue, and there are a number of factors that can negatively influence a woman’s energy levels. Many women have to balance work and home life in a way that seems nearly impossible, and on top of that, the female body can display symptoms of fatigue when under emotional stress.  

Study on What CBD Can Do: Cannabidiol has an effect on energy homeostasis, potentially regulating energy levels in a way that keeps them maintained throughout the day before they dip off at night.

What to Try: CBDaF! Energy Softgels combine balancing cannabinoids with caffeine, CBG and taurine to offer gentle but effective boosting properties when they are needed.

You Don’t Have to Suffer

Any woman who experiences some type of chronic symptom or ailment should know that there are more treatments emerging daily that can offer some kind of relief.  Meanwhile, researchers are continuing to demonstrate the many ways in which a daily routine with the hemp plant can improve the way that we feel and can offer distinctive uses to women. At Sky Wellness, we proudly offer a generous lineup of formulas specifically aimed at offering relief in targeted ways, with products designed to promote sleep, calm, pain relief and more.
