Can CBD Oil Help Anxiety?

Claims for the benefits of CBD oil seem to outpace research. Can CBD oil help anxiety is one of those questions that may not have sufficient research but does have sufficient consumer interest. 

CBD oil is a relatively new product to the high street health market, meaning the burning questions are coming in thick and fast. And what better way to find out all the answers than to take a trip to Celtic Wind Crops’ cannabis farm in County Louth, Ireland, where they grow hemp and manufacture the 5% strength CBD oil (and powder, and capsules) that has become the first CBD product to be sold in a UK Pharmacy (LloydsPharmacy).

Okay, you’re about to hear a lot of science GCSE-type words like ‘compound’ here, but stick with me. CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is a compound (essentially, a natural ingredient) found in the hemp plant. Hemp is part of the same family of plants as cannabis, known as the cannabis sativa family, meaning hemp and cannabis contain many of the same compounds. CBD also exists in cannabis (otherwise known as marijuana), hence the link between the health product and the recreational drug, but you’ll find out below why hemp is the plant used to make CBD oil, and not cannabis.

CBD is a naturally occurring substance, and it has recently experienced a surge in popularity among the wellness community after becoming more widely available on the high street. It is not legal for companies who produce CBD oil to make specific claims about exactly what health benefits the product can have, but scientific research into CBD has indicated it’s got the potential to improve mental health issues including depression and anxiety, as well as providing relief from pain and other illnesses.
