Past Trauma
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can occur after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks, nightmares, difficulty sleeping, and feeling anxious or on edge. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits all treatment for this disorder. However, evidence suggests that Cannabidiol (CBD), the non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants, may be beneficial in treating symptoms of PTSD in tandem with other standard treatment regimens.
CBD has been shown to help maintain physical and mental well-being, support normal recovery from stress, and improve sleep quality while also potentially helping with the frequency of nightmares associated with this disorder. There’s also evidence that CBD could help maintain normal emotional balance that often eludes those with PTSD. CBD also promotes a sense of relaxation and is thought to reduce stiffness and soreness in the body, which is often attributed to the disorder.
When looking for alternative or complementary treatments, CBD for PTSD deserves serious consideration, but not all CBD products are created alike. Many products on the market contain much less CBD than they claim and aren’t tested for potency and purity. ShellShock CBD products are third-party tested to ensure our CBD is exactly what you expect. Get more answers about CBD here and check out why CBD might be the right choice for you.
