Menopause is an inevitable part of a woman’s life journey that can present a range of challenges. The majority of perimenopausal and menopausal women report experiencing difficult symptoms, from hot flushes to anxiety and mood swings. But just because it is inevitable, that doesn’t mean you have to accept all the negative things that come with it.
We have curated a range of our high-quality CBD products to support you through this time - because we believe that every woman deserves to feel their best, naturally. Introducing our Menopause Support Bundles.
Menopause is the stage in a woman’s life when her menstrual cycles stop. This change signals the end of her reproductive years, meaning she can no longer get pregnant. It is a natural process that occurs as a result of declining ovarian function and a decrease in the release of certain hormones, namely, oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
However, this doesn’t occur suddenly. The period leading up to menopause is known as perimenopause. During this period, women usually experience irregular menstrual cycles, as well as a number of menopausal symptoms.
So, what are the symptoms of menopause?
There are at least 35 recognised menopause symptoms, with the types and severity of symptoms varying from person to person. Some of the most common menopause symptoms include:
Symptoms of menopause can begin months, and even years, before your periods stop. This makes effective management of these symptoms extremely important. The most common treatment for menopause symptoms is hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which is available through the NHS. However, many women also turn to alternative therapies and products for a more holistic approach to menopause.
CBD - also known by its scientific name, cannabidiol - is a compound found abundantly and exclusively in the cannabis plant. It is believed to contribute to many of the therapeutic effects of the plant, some of which may be helpful for those experiencing menopause symptoms.
These potential benefits are largely owed to CBD’s interaction with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and other receptor systems in the human body. For example, the ECS is expressed throughout the immune and central nervous systems and is known to play an important role in many bodily functions. This includes the regulation of mood, sleep, temperature, and fertility.
But could CBD products really help with menopause?
Anxiety and other mood symptoms are one of the most commonly experienced effects of menopause. But it also happens to be one of the most common reasons for using CBD products. According to a survey of CBD consumers (61.2% of whom were female), self-perceived anxiety was the top reason for CBD use.
Among this demographic, sublingual CBD (CBD oils) were the most popular products. This isn’t surprising given their wide availability and ease of administration. At Honey Heaven, we offer a range of high-quality Full-Spectrum CBD Oils that could be the perfect product for you. Or, if you prefer a more discreet option, our CBD Gummies are the ideal solution!
The second most common reason for CBD use, as reported by participants in the previously mentioned survey, was sleep problems. This is unsurprising, given the role of the ECS in sleep regulation. Moreover, CBD’s anti-anxiety effects may make it easier to get to sleep in the first place, making it a potentially useful addition to your bedtime routine.
We have developed a number of products with sleep and relaxation in mind, including our CBD and Lavender honey, featuring high-quality CBD and lavender (featured in our Rest & Relax Bundle), selected for its calming effects. Or why not try our French Lavender-infused CBD Balm for a soothing topical application.
Joint pain is another common menopausal symptom which may be linked to the decline in oestrogen. Interestingly, joint and muscle pain is also a commonly reported reason for CBD use, with consumers reporting that it helps to reduce pain and inflammation and accelerates recovery. Of course, more clinical research is needed to confirm these reports and better understand how CBD may work in this setting.
Nonetheless, if you’re interested in the potential of CBD, our CBD Massage Oils are the perfect place to start. Choose between our French Lavender, Eucalyptus & Peppermint, and Botanical Blend Massage Oils for a relaxing and soothing experience.
At Honey Heaven, we are always striving to offer the highest-quality, natural and organic products for a range of applications. And our Menopause Support Bundles are no exception. Browse the full range today and discover whether CBD could help support you through this often challenging period.
