Top Three Benefits of CBD for Women’s Health

The women at Plant People came together to share how they use hemp to keep their bodies and minds happy and healthy. Here are the top three ways you can incorporate CBD for women's health.

Enhance your sex life.

Dating is tough. Being intimate with someone is even tougher. You’re putting yourself out there in the most vulnerable way possible. It’s not surprising that negative thoughts about how you look or are performing can prevent you from enjoying the experience.

With its anti-anxiety properties and full spectrum hemp extract, CBD can help you feel less nervous about sex. This natural compound slows the breakdown of Endocannabinoid, Anandamide (more commonly known as the “bliss molecule”). While sounding a little scary and foreign, Anandamide is extremely important to your happiness. It tells your brain to become more relaxed and stress-free. As an added bonus, CBD products like our Stay Sharp capsules will also heighten your sensory awareness, which means you’ll have better orgasms –– and who wouldn’t want that!

Improve the health of your body and skin.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s hard to get a good, deep sleep –– especially for women. A recent NSF Sleep poll found that women more commonly than men experience symptoms of insomnia at least a few nights a week and are more likely to have daytime sleepiness. Lack of sleep is detrimental to your health and wellness. In addition to feeling groggy and confused, sleep loss drastically weakens both your body and skin.

When you miss out on the zzz’s, your body releases more of the stress hormone, Cortisol. In abundance, Cortisol will breakdown your skin’s collagen, which is the protein that keeps your skin smooth and elastic. Not getting enough sleep also reduces muscle mass and weakens your bones due to the lack of HCH (Human Growth Hormone) in your body. Taking our high-performance CBD Sleep Drops regularly reduces stress, so you can fall asleep right as you hit the pillow. Give your body and skin the restoration it desperately needs.

Alleviate PMS symptoms.

No matter how much you beg Mother Nature, there is no way to avoid that time of the month. However, you can better handle the debilitating cramps, painful muscle aches and uncomfortable bloating with our Plant Balm. Massaging our high-potency CBD salve on affected areas like the stomach, breasts and low back will immediately reduce discomfort, inflammation, nausea and support digestive functions. So throw out your Advil and Midol in exchange for this natural remedy.

This month and every month, make sure to show your body and mind some love. Using CBD for women's health is just the beginning. Take the time to appreciate yourself, you absolutely deserve it!
