What Can CBD Do For People Who Struggle With PTSD?

When most people hear PTSD they think veterans but do you know anyone can suffer from PTSD? It can happen to anyone who has had a traumatic experience. CBD functions similar to the body’s natural endorphins. Introducing CBD into the body is similar to getting a boost of endorphins like you might experience when exercising. This doesn’t mean it makes you high or unnaturally affects your body. It simply boosts your mood and helps you feel happier, more relaxed, and at ease. Instead of focusing on PTSD memories, you may be able to move past them and not allow them to interfere with your body’s natural desire to find homeostasis and feel comfortable and uplifted. There is also evidence that CBD can help boost levels of anandamide, a compound some research has shown PTSD suffers don’t have enough of in their bodies. Properly balanced anandamide helps a person regulate his or her mood and feel more in balance mentally and emotionally. CBD also has been shown to ease stress.  It can help slow the brain down so the person is not over-processing or feeling on edge in response to every circumstance.
