CBD is capable of treating a myriad of different symptoms in men and women, of any age. There are some health issues, however, that are much more common among the female population. Do you suffer from any of these women’s health issues that CBD can treat? If so, medical marijuana may be right for you.

  1. Migraines

If you’ve ever had a migraine, you know how painful and debilitating the accompanying symptoms can be. While both men and women can suffer from migraines, they are much more prevalent among females. Oftentimes, migraines are caused by fluctuating estrogen levels in women. After menopause, migraines tend to become less frequent but this isn’t always the case. CBD can be extremely beneficial before or during a migraine as it can reduce or even eliminate the pain altogether.  

  1. Low Libido

Around the age of 40, sex drive naturally begins to decrease as estrogen levels drop. This can cause you to become less sensitive to touch and experience a decrease in arousal. One way to counteract this drop in estrogen is to boost serotonin levels. CBD can boost serotonin levels and libido thus stimulating sensation and desire.

  1. Insomnia

Do you find yourself tossing and turning at night? There are many reasons that you may be suffering from insomnia. Symptoms from menopause and other forms of stress or discomfort can keep you awake at night. All too often, prescription sleep aids are prescribed to solve these issues, however, these pills can produce side effects that are even worse than the original problem. CBD, on the other hand, can relieve anxiety while easing pain (without any uncomfortable side effects) so that you can sleep through the night and wake up well-rested!

  1. Mood Irregularities

This is another health issue where a fluctuation of hormones is to blame. As estrogen and testosterone rise and fall, our emotions can get all out of whack. Again, prescription drugs are commonly used to correct these irregularities, but antidepressants can come along with potentially dangerous side effects. CBD is a fast-acting and potent treatment for mood irregularities, that can boost your happiness naturally!

  1. Symptoms of Menopause

Aside from the aforementioned low libido and mood irregularities, other symptoms of menopause include vaginal dryness, painful sex, and hot flashes. While CBD does not directly treat these issues, the boost in serotonin brought about by CBD helps diminish these symptoms. Vaginal dryness and painful sex are replaced with increased sensation and desire. Serotonin reduces hot flashes by decreasing core temperature.

  1. Menstrual Cramps

Personally speaking, this is one of the main reasons that I use CBD. It’s becoming much more accepted by physicians as a viable treatment for menstrual cramps. CBD has antispasmodic properties that make it an excellent choice for muscle contraction and cramping. Dr. Shivani Amin said, “CBD is the most powerful anti-inflammatory compound of the cannabis plant.” He went on to say, “It has proven to be 60-100% more effective that Ibuprofen.”

  1. Joint Pain

Many synthetic drugs prescribed for joint pain are dangerous and temporary fixes, at best. CBD can reduce inflammation and relieve even the worse joint pain.

  1. Osteoporosis

Estrogen helps maintain strong bones, so when levels begin to decline, bones become weaker and more brittle. CBD slows this process, helping to maintain and even increase bone density.
