Its stress-fighting qualities make it easier to fall asleep. Be patient if you want to see real results. According to Healthline: “Much of the research on CBD, anxiety, and sleep has noted that many patients don’t notice an immediate difference.

CBD haircare is a growing field. You can buy shampoos, conditioners, sprays, etc. Stylecaster writes: “CBD and hemp oils… are capable of curbing the production of excess sebum, as well as reducing inflammation. And when it comes to hair, the same antibacterial benefits apply to the scalp. Also, since CBD oil also contains fatty acids and a slew of vitamins, making it an ideal cure for brittle strands.”

The anti-inflammatory properties that are great for your hair are also good for your skin. Conditions like acne and psoriasis might be helped by CBD. The research is still developing. Dr. Jordan Tishle of Boston’s InhaleMD explains that “in addition to its effects on CB1 and CB2 receptors, there is some evidence that CBD also has an effect on TRPV-1 and GPR55 receptors… Both of these are found in skin and play a role in inflammation and pain signaling.”
