Why Moms Need CBD In Their Lives: 5 Reasons!

Here is something for those of us who try to please everyone. Everyone should use CBD, especially MOMS!

The single proudest moment in my life has been becoming a mother. Actually, let me rephrase that: I find it quite astonishing that I am able to 

keep my kids alive and so maintain my “Mom” position. I am a working mother of two, a wife, and an aspirant master multi-tasker, so I am 

always looking for ways to be productive, maintain my energy levels, and still find time for myself. CBD has integrated into my daily routine. 

Here are five reasons why you, fellow mothers, too need CBD!

 

1. Why Moms Need CBD In Their Lives: 5 Reasons!/CBD Can Help With Anxiety

Anxiety? Nah. That’s not mine, or is it? You don’t require a formal diagnosis to feel anxious on a daily basis. When we don’t actually need to 

worry, anxiety creeps about in our brains and makes us worry. Do you ever get everyone started on their way to school, work, or another 

location and then spend the next hour or so worried about if they all made it, have everything they need, or if you forgot something? Do you 

ever leave the house and wonder if the water is running, if a light was left on, or if the dog will escape? Although it may not be full-blown 

anxiety, the cumulative effect of juggling kid drop-offs, work, appointments, and juggling life details can be burdensome and cause anxiety.

The question of whether CBD is nothing more than snake oil is one that has been the subject of extensive research. Reputable research 

have found that CBD does interact with the brain’s serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R), and other receptors 

that control behaviors brought on by fear and anxiety. Why does this matter? I really don’t want to get into too much detail because I’m a 

busy mom. I’m pressed for time! Now, all I want is relief. Trying CBD sounds like a good idea to me rather than becoming addicted to Xanax

or something else with seriously severe negative effects! Why Moms Need CBD In Their Lives: 5 Reasons!

 

My morning ritual consists of mixing 50 milligrams of CBD tincture with my first cup of coffee. My coffee experience is enhanced by the 

vanilla flavor enhances my coffee experience, and I really believe that the CBD boost I receive helps my day start off better than it would

without it.

2) CBD Promotes Sound Sleep

I SEE YOU, all of you moms who are sleep-deprived! If only the night would end when the kids go to bed, holy crap! But if you’re like me, 

your thoughts are racing and you may REALLY want to go to bed, but it simply doesn’t always happen when you want it to.

 

Hello, CBD. You also aid in sleep, right?

 

So, if CBD reduces your anxiety, it’s likely that it will also improve your sleep. Many of us experience sleep loss due to anxiety. If you can put 

your worries to rest, you could get the restful sleep you require tonight to be a Super Mom tomorrow.

 

 

When I feel like I need a chill session and a long, deep sleep,  I smoke CBD moonrocks. I know. I know. That almost makes me sound 

like a loadie. Not the case, hear me out.

I hate smoking, mostly. I really do. But there are times when exceptions can be made for a lot of things, including smoking. As I’ve grown-up and

been able to sort through the stigma of “drugs” (Thanks Bill, my 6th grade D.A.R.E officer!), I have found that the stigma around smoking is

(mostly) just plain ridiculous. I’m not talking about chain-smoking Marlboro Lights (GROSS), I’m talking about occasional, meditative, if not

therapeutic smoking. Just look at other cultures and you’ll understand what I mean. You’re not a dirtbag if you smoke! Plus, smoking is the

quickest, most efficient way to get the most CBD in your system!

So back to going to sleep, some nights I reach for CBD moonrocks to start the wind-down process. If you’re not familiar, CBD moonrocks are

considered a concentrate. CBD moonrocks are made from a small hemp flower bud, dipped in CBD distillate, infused with terpenes, and coated in

kief. The resulting product contains almost 50% CBD and almost zero THC! They light up like a little candle in a pipe. The terpenes on CBD

moonrocks make for a strong pleasant smell, and add to the entourage effect. A couple of relaxed, slow drags, and I feel immediately calm. The

high dose gives a much more noticeable head change, without feeling high. This change and feeling of calm is just what I need some nights to

settle down into blissful sleep.

3) CBD Can Help Reduce Pain

Let’s face it, we aren’t getting any younger. With age, comes those little aches and pains, and sometimes major injuries, with lifetime, ongoing

repercussions. Supermoms need to get on with being awesome, regardless of pain. How can we do it all and feel better?

Uh, hey, CBD? You there? Do you help with pain?

The answer for some of us, is YES! CBD may help reduce inflammation. Much like my friend Vitamin I (some people still call it Ibuprofen), CBD

has been found to reduce inflammation, but without melting your stomach!

There is evidence that suggests you may be able to alleviate pain/inflammation using CBD tincture, via smoking, and topically. When I have acute

muscle pain – perhaps because my back hurts from carrying my kid to bed after she fell asleep watching a movie (oof). I like to use a topical aide

right where it hurts. Look for something that penetrates the skin and has natural ingredients. I like the JAXON muscle rub for my aches and pains.

It’s not greasy or too forward with the menthol, and it works for me!

4) CBD for PMS and Related Symptoms

Ah, part of the reason a lot of us are moms in the first place – our uterous! For some of us, about 1/4th of our fertile existence is spent on our

period. As life swirls around us, it can feel like there is a storm raging within us. From emotional surges, to physical pain, and that shortened fuse –

that time of the month can feel pretty ugly for some of us.

Knock knock.

Who’s there?

CBD!

Yes! CBD may help! These ailments brought on by our menstral cycle can be softened, and perhaps eliminated using CBD. There are parallels

from other CBD uses that may provide relief when Aunt Flo visits. As mentioned previously, using CBD may help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and it

might even help with irritability. That little bit of chill that comes with CBD might be just what you need to keep calm and chive on during that time

of the month.

CBD may also help with cramps, while encouraging more restful sleep. Our moon time can be exhausting and painful. Using CBD in place of

addictive sleep aids, and over-the-counter pain medication may provide better relief with fewer consequences. A meditative smoke just may be the

ticket! Think of it as an adult time-out, a productive deep breath, time to yourself. Phew.

It gets better. Giving into cravings can be productive! I reach for a CBD infused chocolate bar to satisfy cravings and keep cramps at bay. I also

have been known to whip up some brownies or cookies with vanilla-flavored CBD tincture.

5) CBD for Self Care

The days are long, but the years are short. Life seems to fly by even faster whilst raising children. Moms, we gotta do what we can when we can

to slow it down. If you don’t think you have time, carve out a few minutes anyway. Make it a habit! We all deserve to take time for our own self

care. In fact, we are better caregivers when we take care of ourselves. Adding CBD into your self care regimen could be a very good thing for your

mind, body, and soul. Why Moms Need CBD In Their Lives: 5 Reasons!

Use topical CBD to relax and rejuvenate. Whether it’s part of a spa treatment in a lotion, body salve, or muscle rub, topical CBD delivers

cannabinoids to receptors in the skin, rather than into the bloodstream. Say goodbye to localized inflammation and get ready to feel refreshed.

Add CBD tincture to a cocktail or tea as you wind down for the evening. Take a moment, some slow sips, and relax.

Have a smoke. Find a quiet place. Grab a joint, blunt, pipe, or bong and take that adult version of a timeout.

Motherhood truly is the greatest part of my existence, yet it is also one of the hardest undertakings of my adult life. Being present, available,

rested, and patient are just some of the virtues that I strive to be for my kids and everyone else. Employing CBD as a natural aid has been helpful

for me, to say the least. Give it a shot, Fellow Moms, your sanity just might thank you!!!
