I’m interested in exploring CBD oil for anxiety. What do I need to know?”***\n\nChico V.\n__________\n\n![Hello1-min (17).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello1_min_17_80f44e8cb3.png)\n\nThe first thing you should know is that you’re not alone. More than 40 million Americans cope with various degrees of anxiety, ranging from mild symptoms to completely debilitating ones. Taking [CBD for anxiety daily](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/why-taking-cbd-daily-can-help-reduce-your-anxiety) can go a long way to helping sufferers. The types of anxiety disorders can include panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and separation anxiety disorder. And CBD oil may have other related benefits, such as [helping with sleep](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/3-cbd-products-to-help-you-go-back-to-sleep) and increasing focus and wellbeing. CBD oil for anxiety works by interacting with the [endocannabinoid system (ECS)](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/what-is-the-endocannabinoid-system). This is a system of receptors found in most places in the body, regulating a wide variety of conditions and body processes such as pain perception and anxiety.\n\nCBD may also work well at reducing anxiety, some scientists believe, because of the way it [interacts with serotonin receptors](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/understanding-how-cbd-can-calm-your-anxiety) in the brain (low serotonin levels may be a principal cause of anxiety and depression. [CBD can serve to block the reabsorption of serotonin](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/how-do-ssris-and-other-drug-types-interact-with-cannabis) in the brain (like prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). This makes serotonin more available in the synaptic space (the space between neurons in the brain), increasing serotonin signaling and helping to alleviate anxiety and other mood disorders.\n\nPeter G.\n__________\n\n![Hello3-min (14).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello3_min_14_08bc5133b9.png)\n\nYou also have a [variety of consumption methods](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/understanding-how-cbd-can-calm-your-anxiety) when it comes to taking CBD oil for anxiety. If you want immediate relief, [vaporizers](https://www.hellomd.com/tag/vaporizer/) and [sublingual](https://www.hellomd.com/tag/tincture/) options are good choices. They are rapid-onset options that start working within minutes and can stay with you for a few hours. If you want something that stays in your systems longer, then it is worth looking into [edibles](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/essentials-about-edibles-that-you-need-to-know). While they may last longer, it also takes them longer to kick in, perhaps an hour or two. While more research needs to be done on how well CBD oil reduces anxiety, there have been some promising studies to date. One done in 2011, for example, showed that CBD helped reduce anxiety in people facing one of the most dreaded activities—[public speaking](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3079847/). Not only did the participants in the simulated public speaking experiment experience significantly lowered anxiety levels, but they had also reduced cognitive impairment, discomfort in their speech, and feelings of anticipatory alertness.\n\nAs far as [CBD products to help you de-stress](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/top-3-cbd-products-to-help-you-de-stress), one good choice is [Vertly Relief Lotion](https://vertlybalm.com/product/relief-lotion/). Applied topically to sore and tense areas in the body, it's silky smooth, absorbs quickly, and its smell of citrus and lavender is subtle yet calming. It has a unique blend of 500 mg Hemp+ magnesium, which targets your aches and pains while “nourishing shea butter leaves your skin soft and supple.” Or if you want an effective vaping option, try the [Wildflower line of rechargeable vaporizers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_MT8EuKmWq1FBFCweeUaz65vCQvMGvSsY6esIVOzyhs/edit#). The high-quality, calming CBD oil they use is supplemented with added ingredients, such as mint and rosemary oil.\n\nHeidi S.\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1,"src":"/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/ee604/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.png","srcSet":"/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/69585/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.png 200w,\n/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/497c6/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.png 400w,\n/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/ee604/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.png 800w,\n/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/dc6d1/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.png 837w","srcWebp":"/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/58556/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/61e93/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.webp 200w,\n/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/1f5c5/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.webp 400w,\n/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/58556/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.webp 800w,\n/static/cb333e3c28a4032a6685a3ae06679206/1aee8/5cd00c7d34f3fecf2053b5cf1eaac290.webp 837w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12376-markdown","title":"Are there any vape cartridges that are not contaminated with lead.

Several studies directly link heavy  cannabis use to hair loss. Although, most of those studies specify THC  as the likely culprit—which is why I recommend hemp over cannabis  (0.3% THC or less).\n\nThere  is, however, a plethora of anecdotal evidence suggesting that CBD may  improve the health of hair follicles—and also reasonable inferences as to why that may be: CBD is high in Omegas 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, which  promote scalp and follicular health; hemp is high in vitamin E, which  helps hair retain moisture and also prevents cell death via oxidative  stress (is an antioxidant); is high in the essential fatty acid linolenic acid, which can lengthen the growth phase of hair follicles; and CBD, itself, is a powerful antioxidant.\n\nhttps://healthyhempoil.com/how-to-make-hemp-oil/\n\nHere is a great recipe shared by the co-founder of HelloMD, Pamela Hadfield,  that should also be great for your hair. I recommend that you also use the oil as a hair treatment on its own. \nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/573e5e4d6794030008000082/diy-recipe-hemp-facial-oil-is-healing-and-moisturizing\n\nI hope this helps!\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12366-markdown","title":"Is it safe to have general anesthesia for surgery if I used THC oil recently?

A recent literature review conducted by Huson, Granados and Rasko (2018) found that “marijuana increased cardiac workload, myocardial infarctions and strokes in young, chronic users.” The literature review also found that those who smoked marijuana were more likely to require increased anesthetic doses to place laryngeal airways (just like smoking, marijuana causes airway obstruction). “Use within 72 hours of general anesthesia was advised against” (Hunson, Granados and Rasko, 2018). \nBased on the above literature review, it looks like you should be fine because you will have abstained from using cannabis for over a month by the time you receive general anaesthesia. I do however recommend that you let your health care providers (including your surgeon) know that you have been experimenting with THC oil recently.\n \nHuson, H.B., Granados, T.M., and Rasko, Y.

Retrieved from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6139487/ on March 2nd, 2019.\n\nLonah NP\n_____________________\n  When talking about surgery anesthesia and marijuana, all types of marijuana should be avoided. That means smoking marijuana, edibles, and synthetic marijuana.  The use of marijuana, especially immediately prior to surgery, can change the doses needed for sedation. It has been found that cannabis users requires substantially higher doses of anesthesia.  There are other reasons why use of cannabis can compromize operative and post operative period, such as  airway obstruction , respiratory cardiovascular distress, increrased depression of central nervous system (when barbiturates given after surgery), inhibition of other medication action going the same liver metabolic pathway (Huson , Granados, Rasko, 2018).\n\nTherefore, abstaining from marijuana in the weeks before surgery can decrease the likelihood of complications during and after surgery. \n\n Huson, H.

It’s too bad you experienced sore throat.\nTo answer your question, below are some alternatives:\n\n- Oral: pills, sublingual, sprays, and edibles (edibles can be difficult to dose). Oral formulations can last up to 5hrs. It can take pills and edibles 1 - 3hrs to work. The spray and sublingual route have an onset of 15-30mins.\n- Transdermal patches - onset of 20 mins, with a duration of 6-12hrs\n- Inhalation - smoking (has associated risks such as bronchitis), and vaping. Onset of 5-15 mins, with a duration of 2-3hrs\n- Topical - applied to painful, itchy areas\n\nLonah NP\n_____________________\n\nSore throat can be a symptom of local irritation, pharyngitis or laryngitis. The inhaled form , regardless of the method, results in vocal swelling and irritation of the local mucous. Some inhaled methods, such as a vaporizer, result in a lesser degree of laryngitis than others such as unfiltered joints.\n\nOil taken under a tongue should cause the irritation and soreness; however, sometimes it can be mild hypersensitivity of the area to the product. In your case you can try mix your oil with food and swallow it, or you can try pills with CBD. \n\nKrabell14","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.36986301369863,"src":"/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/97f33/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.png","srcSet":"/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/69585/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.png 200w,\n/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/497c6/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.png 400w,\n/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/97f33/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.png 483w","srcWebp":"/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/e4e06/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/61e93/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.webp 200w,\n/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/1f5c5/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.webp 400w,\n/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/e4e06/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.webp 483w","sizes":"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12320-markdown","title":"Struggling with side effects","slug":"struggling-with-side-effects","content":"\"I was instructed by my psychiatrist to start CBD oil on top of my Cymbalta because I can’t tolerate going up anymore on the dosage.

Thus for precise dosing you would prefer direct absorption of an oil or capsule instead of putting it in an edible product.  Hope that helps!\n\nAmyT","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12299-markdown","title":"Is it safe to inhale vaporized Lavender oil?","slug":"is-it-safe-to-inhale-vaporized-lavender-oil","content":"\"Is there any medical literature on this?\"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12276-markdown","title":"Has anyone used CBD oil to wean off of tramadol?

Most patients do best with indica or indica-dominant hybrid strains, or  with products containing similar amounts of CBD and THC, e.g. 1CBD:1THC  or 2CBD:1THC. \nI hope this helps!\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nWeaning pts off tramadol and opiates, like Dr. Kim mentions, must include the input of your prescribing physician.  Ultimately the weaning off schedule is whatever the pt is comfortable with.  Pt's can decrease the tramadol dose in small increments daily and use cannabis products in increasing amounts per day;  I just urge caution when administering the two close together as the risk of fall/ accident has been demonstrated in past patients of mine.  In addition, the pt can alternate days (one day tramadol, one day cannabis); this method has the advantage of having less chance for physiologic/ psychologic dependency developing for either tramadol or cannabis.   In addition, I would explore the reasons the pt want to wean off the tramadol.  Is it for personal preference reasons?  Is it because the pt demonstrates psychological dependency issues to tramadol?  I ask this because I have to remind pts that cannabis can also produce psychologic dependency issues in pts as well.   I hope these tips prove useful!\n\ndrpark","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":0,"numPages":38,"currentPage":1,"id":5583,"name":"Oil","slug":"oil","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
