The Christmas season is well and truly upon us: ‘tis the season of work parties and get-togethers, last-minute gift buying and wrapping, and cooking up a festive storm in the kitchen. But there is another side of the season that shouldn’t be overlooked. All this merriment is often accompanied by stress, tension, and even disturbed sleep! So, stop for a moment. Take a breath. And take a look at our tips for de-stressing with CBD this festive season.
CBD - less commonly known by its scientific name, cannabidiol - is one of many compounds called cannabinoids that are found in the cannabis plant. These compounds resemble chemicals created in our own bodies (endocannabinoids) and, as such, are unable to interact with receptors, prompting a number of physiological responses.
Research indicates that cannabinoids may have significant therapeutic value. In fact, it is largely due to these compounds that the cannabis plant has been a medicinal staple in many cultures around the world for millennia, from Ancient China to Egypt and Greece.
Despite a long history of medicinal use, widespread prohibition in the 20th century meant that research into cannabis and its derivatives was largely halted. Sadly, that means we’re some way behind on understanding exactly how CBD and its relative compounds work in the body. But current evidence does indicate that CBD could be useful in a number of clinical settings.
For example, preclinical and human trials have found that CBD may be beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety, managing inflammation, and even preventing seizures associated with epilepsy. However, more clinical evidence is required to fully understand this potential.
But now that we’ve covered the basics of CBD, let’s find out how you could incorporate it into this year’s festivities!
Mulled wine and cider, cocktails, mocktails, Christmassy ales and porters - the festive period is often filled with tasty seasonal drinks that go hand-in-hand with the celebrations. But if you’re looking for an alternative to alcohol, or simply want to add something special to your favourite tipple, CBD can be a great option.
In recent years, CBD drinks have become increasingly popular, with many available at supermarkets and online. But if you don’t have time to run to the shops with yet another list added to your shopping list, you can easily make your own! Simply add a few drops of your CBD oil to your favourite drinks and enjoy!
Christmas and New Year - and the weeks preceding - can be filled with a lot of fun. Whether it’s meeting up with friends you haven’t seen all year, hosting a family get-together, heading to a Christmas market, or simply heading down to the pub, many of us find ourselves with too many plans to keep up with. So much so that we might eventually be crying out for a break from the festivities. So, why not forego yet another festive event in favour of a pamper-filled night in?
Even better, incorporating CBD into your evening relaxation session couldn’t be easier. Try adding a few drops of our CBD Massage Oil to your warm bubble bath for a soothing soak, or give your skin the extra love it needs in the colder months with our CBD Balms and CBD Skincare!
Giving gifts to the people we love is possibly the best part of the Christmas season. To see a loved one’s face when they open a meaningful present is priceless - of course, finding that present can often be filled with stress and anxiety. In fact, by the time we get to the big day itself, many of us are experiencing heightened stress levels, which makes the gift of CBD the perfect option for almost everyone in your life!
