Ingredients in CBD Oils to Support Better Sleep
Many Americans struggle to get a full 8 hours of sleep each night, “1 in 3 adults don’t get enough sleep,” states the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While CBD Oil cannot take the place of daily exercise and eating right, it contains natural properties many report improve their sleep.
The Danger of Sleep Meds
Although sleep pills offer a quick fix, their addictive nature may compromise the long-term health of your mind and body.
Ingredients in CBD Oils to Support Better Sleep
Discover how these ingredients work in CBD Oil for less stress and better sleep.
#1. Cannabidiol
CBD, known scientifically as Cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive extract from the female version of the Cannabis plant (Hemp). In a group study of 72 participants with anxiety and sleep disorders, 66.7% reported better sleep in the first month with a daily 25mg CBD Capsule. This amount is approximately 10 drops with a CBD Oil.
#2. Melatonin
Melatonin is a natural hormone released by the pineal gland to regulate your body’s circadian rhythm, your internal clock telling you when it’s time to sleep and wake.
#3. GABA
GABA is a neurotransmitter working to inhibit overactive nerve cells in the central nervous system. Inhibited nerve cells help reduce anxiety and feelings of depression, bringing calm to your mind and body.
#4. Coconut, Olive or Hemp Seed Oil
CBD Oil companies infuse Coconut, Olive or Hemp Seed Oil into their CBD Oils to help the human body absorb CBD into the bloodstream through capillaries found underneath the tongue. Without these carrier oils, CBD's low bioavailability makes it difficult for the body to absorb.
#5. L-Theanine
L-Theanine is a naturally-occurring amino acid found in green tea inducing mental relaxation by boosting levels of GABA and other brain chemicals in the central nervous system.
#6. 5-HTP
Much like GABA and L-Theanine, 5-HTP is an amino acid your body naturally produces to reduce anxiety and depression by raising serotonin levels in the body.
#7. Primrose Oil
Primose Oil is often infused in CBD Oils for women for it’s natural properties to support hormonal balance.
#8. Passion Flower
Passion Flower is a climbing vine used as a mild sedative by the Native Americans. It can be taken by mouth or herbal supplements for sleep-inducing benefits and relief for muscle spams.
#9. Hops
Hops are cone-shaped flowers from the Humulus Lupulus plant containing natural sedative effects that help lower the overall temperature of the human body. The body falls asleep easier when the core body temperature is lowered.
#10. Valerian Root
Nicknamed “nature’s valium,” Valerian Root is an herb used from ancient times for it’s powerful sleep-inducing effects. Supporters claim it can be used to replace benzodiazepines for it’s non-habit forming properties.
#11. Chamomile Flower
Chamomile Flower is an herb from the Asteracaesa plant family with generations of use in natural sleep remedies. It is now being infused in CBD Oils for it’s powerful antioxidant called “Apigenin.” The relaxation benefits of Apigenin are profound to the point it is known as a “mild tranquilizer.”
#12. Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm, also known as Sweet Mary, is an herb from the mint family used in traditional Chinese medicine as a digestive tonic and sleep aid. It’s calming effects help bring insomnia relief along with antimicrobial properties for a healthier gut.
