Has anyone used CBD oil for anxiety and,if so, did it work?

Also, you want to get a full spectrum CBD oil, not just CBD. There are other components in addition to just CBD, like CBA, CBG Etc. And, the research has found that if there's a little bit of THC in the CBD oil, not enough to get you high, be illegal, or anything, it works better. The way the oil is extracted is important, too. Go for CO2 extraction. Beware of extraction processes that use Benzene, alcohol, phenols or other harsh chemicals.To find your best value, take the price for a particular bottle and divide that by the number of milligrams of cbd in the bottle, to get the cost per milligram. It usually runs from around $0.09 per milligram to $0.15 per milligram. Absorption is most efficient under the tongue. Creams and whatnot don't work very well, as far as absorption goes. And concentration. I have researched this a lot because I am a Scot!😁

CBD oil does not have the psychoactive "THC" component in it, so it won't make you high. While you might want your doc's okay, many docs are saying 'no' just because there isn't peer-reviewed evidence that it works and most docs don't like botanicals that they can't prescribe. It contains cannabidiol, which ties into receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) located throughout our body. It affects pain and mood, among other properties. I can only vouch for CBD cream as working wonderfully when I am experiencing PD-related pain. It CBD oil has an informal reputation as a sleep aid, probably because it does help reduce anxiety.

I have read positive response from other people who have used it with good feedback.

CBS oils can help the nervous system, but from my experience it doesn't have the "high" effects that THC does.

I have been using it for about two weeks. Not much affect on tremors, but seems to be helping with anxiety and possibly sleep. Check online at the project cbd website for info. Use care if you are on a blood thinner like cumadin, any where you can't eat grapefruit , because cbd breakdown uses the same liver systems as they do, and could lead to too much blood thinner in your system.
