From boundary-breaching work-from-home schedules to periods of isolation to #pandemiclife in general, many of us could use a mood boost from time to time. CBD tinctures can supply safe, effective ways to enhance your zen and reach a better state of mind*. Read on for more about these delightful, science-backed dropperfuls.
What is CBD?
Before we dive in, let’s talk about what CBD actually is. CBD is a non-addictive compound called a cannabinoid found in the hemp plant. CBD is different from THC, which is a psychoactive compound found in the marijuana plant. Some CBD contains THC, but Beam products are hemp-based and always contain absolutely no THC.
The Endocannabinoid System
Inside our bodies, we have what’s called an endocannabinoid system, which is designed specifically to work with cannabinoids. This system is like a highway of communication between our brain and our body that maintains homeostasis. It deals with things like our digestive system, stress, inflammation, aches and pains, and sleep. When life puts us out of balance, that communication highway can suffer. CBD molecules act like mechanics, fixing all the potholes and bumps and cracks in the communication highway, so that our brain is better able to keep our body in balance.* This is why CBD has been taking the wellness industry by storm in recent years.
Cortisol-Buster
In addition, studies suggest that CBD can lower cortisol levels*. What is cortisol? Think of it as the stress hormone — the kind of hormone that gets released into your bloodstream when your boss asks to see you in her office. Cortisol makes it difficult to fall asleep, to calm down, and to focus.
How to Use a CBD Tincture
Simply put a dropperful of oil under your tongue and swallow. CBD tinctures don’t usually make you sleepy, so they can be used virtually any time of the day:
- Put a dropperful in your coffee to add some zen to your morning.
- Take some under your tongue if your morning coffee tends to give you the jitters.
- Mix it with your salad dressing for a yummy lunchtime mood boost.
- Take a dropperful right before your high-stress 3 PM meeting.
- Help leave work at work (and be more present with family members) by taking some right after your workday is over.
- Boost your wind-down with a dropperful before bed.
