From night sweats and bouts of anxiety to hot flashes and more, the symptoms of menopause can make life difficult for any woman. But, what if there was an all-natural remedy that not only dealt with the pains of menopause but provided much-needed comfort? We are happy to share that it exists. And it\u2019s called CBD. Finally, the extraordinary cannabinoid is getting the recognition it deserves. Although we are still in the preliminary stages, scientific evidence has been streaming in about its therapeutic potential on our body\u2019s natural endocannabinoid system (ECS)<\/a> — a biological system that exists in all vertebrates that controls everything from mood and appetite to body temperature and pain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s commonly theorized that a poorly functioning ECS system can lead to health conditions such as depression, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and you guessed — menopause, and many others. Thanks to legislation and public sentiment, however, CBD could be the help women are looking for. Before utilizing cannabis\u2019 CBD, it\u2019s important to know the facts.<\/p>\n

First, What Is Menopause?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Menopause is a natural occurrence in a women\u2019s life that dawns the end of their childbearing ability, which leads to a massive decline in fertility hormones, known as estrogen. Typically, menopause starts around age 40, but there are outliers. Some women can start this process as early as the age of 30, while others may not experience this change until their 60\u2019s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Menopause differs for every person, but for some, the changes are debilitating, and can greatly affect their lives. As one\u2019s menstrual cycle comes to an end, so too does the production of estrogen in the ovaries, which is claimed to decrease endocannabinoid levels. Low levels of estrogen seemingly disrupt the endocannabinoid system, causing a litany of symptoms that vary in intensity, from mild discomfort to life-disrupting.<\/p>\n
