The perimenopause journey can feel like riding a rollercoaster of unpredictable symptoms, from hot flashes to mood swings, insomnia and sore joints. If you're looking for a natural way to find relief from the waves of symptoms, you're not alone. This CBD Day, we're diving deep into how a high-quality CBD oil can help support the physical and emotional well-being of perimenopausal women.

How CBD Provides Natural Relief from Perimenopause Symptoms

At this stage in our lives, when we're trying to balance a family, a career, eat enough protein, get our steps in and drink enough water, being derailed by perimenopause can be completely overwhelming.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a clever compound called a cannabinoid that works with your body's endocannabinoid system (ECS) to help restore homeostasis, or balance. The ECS is a complex network that regulates key systems and functions, including the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, blood circulation, gastrointestinal tract, and reproductive systems, making it a powerful ally during this time of change.

CBD has become a popular wellness tool and the scientific community is working to understand its full potential. Although research is still sadly minimal, a growing body of research is exploring how this powerful plant compound can interact with our bodies to provide relief. This is especially exciting for perimenopausal women, as many of these studies are beginning to shed light on how CBD can help perimenopausal women find their balance.

Here are five key ways CBD can help alleviate common perimenopause symptoms, backed by science and featuring our Relief Elixir.

1. Finding Your Calm

The emotional ups and downs of perimenopause can be taxing. If you find yourself grappling with increased anxiety, CBD may offer a solution. A 2019 study published in The Permanente Journal showed that CBD significantly reduced anxiety in 79% of participants. By interacting with receptors in your brain, CBD can help quiet a racing mind and promote a sense of calm, allowing you to feel more in control.

2. A Good Night's Sleep

Perimenopause often wreaks havoc on sleep. Hot flashes, night sweats, and hormonal fluctuations can leave you tossing and turning. The same 2019 study that found CBD reduces anxiety also noted that CBD can help improve sleep quality. By promoting relaxation and helping to settle your nervous system, CBD can support a deeper, more restorative night's rest.

3. Soothing Aches, Pains and Inflammation

Joint pain and general body aches can become more common as you approach menopause. CBD's anti-inflammatory properties are well-documented. A 2022 review in Frontiers in Pharmacology concluded that CBD may help reduce inflammation by stopping the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This makes it a promising option for easing those aches and pains and helping you stay active.

4. Aiding in Bone Health

As estrogen levels decline, the risk of bone density loss increases. The endocannabinoid system is involved in bone metabolism, and early research is promising. A 2023 study from Penn State College of Medicine in mice found that CBD not only managed pain but also promoted bone fracture healing and accelerated the process of strengthening new bone. While more human studies are needed, the study highlights CBD's potential as a supportive agent for maintaining bone health.

5. Easing Hot Flashes

Hot flashes are a hallmark of perimenopause, but CBD may offer a two-pronged approach to relief. Some studies suggest the endocannabinoid system is involved in regulating body temperature. By influencing this system, CBD may help modulate thermoregulation.

Additionally, many women find that the calming and anxiety-reducing effects of CBD lessen the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, which are often triggered or worsened by stress.
