 CBD is growing in popularity, particularly with those who don't sleep very well or who suffer anxiety, stress or pain.
Research from Alphagreen, Europe’s leading marketplace and technology provider focussing on CBD and other alternative healthcare products, shows that a third of shoppers (33%) buy CBD for pain relief ; 28% for anxiety and 26% to improve sleep. The Alphagreen Group, brainchild of entrepreneurs Alexej Pikovsky and Viktor Khliupko, was born in London from a passion for health and wellbeing combined with technology and innovation. A growing number of athletes are drawn to CBD and significantly the world anti-doping agency removed CBD from its list of banned substances in 2017, meaning the Tokyo Olympics was the first to allow athletes to use CBD. Data from Alphagreen shows that more people are turning to CBD to help ease pain, improve sleep and lessen anxiety. A 2021 survey published in the Journal of Cannabis Research evaluated the reasons for taking it and resulting data found that respondents took CBD mainly for issues related to pain and overall wellbeing. In those aged 55+, 42% were using CBD specifically for arthritic/joint pain. CBD, anxiety, stress, sleep and pain The World Health Organization (WHO) recognised that CBD has the potential to help health issues including sleep, insomnia and anxiety. We all need good sleep patterns every night to ensure our bodies heal and have sufficient rest. Studies over the last 30 years also suggest that CBD might help with mental health issues. In another study published in Nature, anxiety induced by public speaking in people with social anxiety disorder was reduced significantly by CBD. Pre-treatment with CBD significantly reduced cognitive impairment and discomfort in their speech performance within the same study. The placebo group presented higher anxiety, cognitive impairment, discomfort and alert levels when compared with the control group. A further study suggested that CBD reduced the blood pressure response to stress. A 2020 study found that CBD reduced anxiety in people with Parkinson’s disease subjected to a simulated public speaking test. A further study showed that the application of CBD oil (in the form of a cream) to the site of pain has been shown to help people with back pain in a clinical setting.
