CBD oil for anxiety and depression

A study published by Neurochemical Research in 2005 explained how CBD acts as a partial 5-HT1a receptor, implicated in the neurotransmission of serotonin, one of the fundamental neurotransmitters in mood regulation.

In particular, 5-HT1a plays a fundamental role in the regulation of feelings of panic, anxiety and depression.

Acting as its antagonist, CBD cannabis intervenes directly on the functioning of 5-HT1a, regulating its function and the effects it has on our mood, going directly to intervene on the attenuation and disappearance of the symptoms of anxiety, panic and depression.

Likewise, the British Journal of Pharmacology published another study in 2009 highlighting the link between CBD and the reception of dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with euphoria, a sense of reward and, in general, creativity.

This not only makes CBD an excellent antagonist of other drugs, fighting the addiction that a person develops for them, but it makes CBD an excellent antidepressant.

In fact, a large part of the addiction that develops for a given drug is linked to its action on dopamine neuroreactors.

The widespread sense of well-being that accompanies drug use is largely due to the release of massive amounts of this neurotransmitter.

Going to perform an antagonistic regulatory action, CBD not only helps fight addiction but also intervenes in the process of mood balance, fighting the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
