Americans are dealing with peak stress season right now, and parents are right there at the top of the Frayed Nerves Club. For many parents, stressors can come from a thousand different directions: from spilled milk and broken toys to maddening school systems and teen ennui. Fortunately, more and more mothers and fathers are discovering natural ways to ease their stress and help them be the best parents they can be. One of those natural stressbusters is CBD. Imbued with natural calming properties, as well as a variety of CBD wellness benefits, CBD is the perfect go-to for stressed-out parents.
In this article, we’ll take a look at several popular CBD stress relief products that you can incorporate into your daily routine. But let’s start by getting a better understanding of how CBD works.
Understanding CBD
CBD (short for cannabidiol) is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant, called a cannabinoid. It’s one of over a hundred such compounds found in cannabis, as well as other potent compounds called terpenes and flavonoids. Interestingly enough, your body produces its own cannabinoids, which are called endocannabinoids. These are part of your endocannabinoid system, a system of receptors in the various organs and systems of the body that help to maintain homeostasis, or balance. This helps the body to regulate several crucial functions, including sleep, appetite, mood, memory, muscle control, stress, and much more.
When you take CBD and other cannabinoids, they actually interact with those same receptors and help to bolster those systems and organs.** Thanks to this intense wellness boost, CBD has become an increasingly popular wellness product. You may have noticed in the various functions regulated by the endocannabinoid system, that stress and sleep are among them. As it turns out, CBD has a wonderful calming effect that can be beneficial for focus, easing stress, and preparing you for restful sleep.** While CBD’s many other benefits are valuable for any adult, it’s those calming properties that can be especially helpful for stressed-out parents!
CBD Stress Products for Parents
CBD can aid with parental stress in multiple ways, from CBD sleep aids to calming CBD products to topical CBD products to reduce tension.** Here’s a look at some of our most popular CBD stress products for parents (and every adult!).
CBD Sleep Products
Sleep is essential to your overall good health for many reasons, including stress relief. When you’re sufficiently rested, you have more patience for all the little stressors that can come along at any given time (parent-teacher conference, anyone?). You also operate with a healthier frame of mind when you get your full night’s rest. At CBDfx, we carry the best CBD for sleep.
Our CBD Sleep Tincture delivers a 1-2-3-4 punch combo of calming CBD, restful melatonin, relaxing CBN (often referred to as the “ultimate relaxation cannabinoid”), and a proprietary blend of sleep terpenes. Our CBD + CBN Night Capsules deliver an industry-leading 30mg of CBN per serving, along with broad spectrum CBD, magnesium, valerian root, and GABA. And our CBD Sleep Gummies are loaded with sleep-friendly ingredients, including CBD, melatonin, chamomile, lemon balm, passion flower, magnesium, and sleep terpenes. Each of these CBD sleep aids is formulated to help you get to sleep quickly and sleep soundly through the night, with no morning “hangover” to slow you down the following day—which is essential for chasing around your rugrats!
For those who enjoy a little THC bliss with their sleep, we offer two potent delta-9 THC sleep products. Our Sweet Dreams THC Drops feature a heavy-hitting combination of full spectrum CBD, THC, CBN, and sleep terpenes. And our Lemon Dream THC Gummies deliver 5mg of delta-9 THC per serving, plus full spectrum CBD and mellow melatonin. Both of these THC faves are designed to make your Dreamland even dreamier.
Calming CBD Products
CBD’s calming properties can help take the edge off of stress, allowing you to be your best you (your kids will thank you!).** We offer several different stress-relieving options for parents.
Our CBD + CBN Calming Tincture delivers full spectrum CBD with added CBN and terpenes for super-chill vibes. Another great full spectrum option is our CBD Soft Gel Capsules, featuring 50–100mg of robust full spectrum CBD per serving.
Microdosing THC
Taking low doses of THC can also help take the edge off, while still allowing you to function on your day-to-day tasks. Both our Full Spectrum Mixed Berry CBD Gummies and Microdose THC Capsules are ideal for microdosing THC, with just enough delta-9 dosage to soothe your frazzled nerves.
Topical CBD Products
Nervous tension can sap your strength, not to mention your will to do all the little things that need to be done in your busy day. We have several tension-relieving CBD topicals to help ease your minor aches and pains, including our CBD Muscle & Joint Cream: Cooling Formula, CBG Muscle & Joint Cream: Heating Formula, CBD Muscle & Joint Balm Stick, and CBD Massage Oil. And every stressed-out parent can use a soothing soak with one of our CBD Bath Bombs!**
Helping Parents Cope With Stress
Stress seems to be at an all-time high nowadays, and it ratchets up even higher for parents. Fortunately, the calming properties of CBD can help take the edge off that stress.** Whether you need CBD for sleep, easing tension, or some other soothing effect, we have the finest CBD stress products anywhere (including the best CBD gummies) to help you be the best parent you can be for your kids!
