CBD, also known as Cannabidiol, has remarkable properties, and its therapeutic potential is vast. As CBD is a natural ingredient and not made up of artificial chemicals, it is entirely safe to consume for people of all ages. CBD is legal in Britain, and it is up to the parents' discretion on whether or not they want to give it to their children. However, if you are new to the world of CBD, the sheer amount of products and uses can be overwhelming. Read on to learn more.

What is CBD?

CBD is a compound that is extracted from the cannabis plant. It is important to emphasise that it will not get you high, and it does not have psychoactive properties; THC is the psychoactive compound, and CBD does not contain any. In recent years the use of CBD has grown as its restorative and analgesic properties became apparent, so it entered the mainstream as a popular natural remedy. Its foray into the mainstream was completed when high street pharmacies began to sell it – even Holland and Barrett has a range. 

CBD and the Family

Because CBD has such a vast array of uses, it is extremely versatile, and it can be helpful for all members of your family. Starting with the Grandparents, CBD has been known to ease a variety of issues that most elderly people will experience at some point. For example, arthritis, skin complaints, anxiety, strokes, and Parkinson's have all been helped by CBD. For the elderly, oral consumption is recommended, and you can find CBD in teas or other edibles, or if they suffer from muscle and joint pain, then a cream or salve would help too.

Next, the parents; they have a lot of daily stressors to deal with, which can impact their mental and physical well-being. CBD can help to alleviate a lot of these feelings of stress and anxiety. Unfortunately, bodily aches and pains can also begin to develop at this juncture. CBD oils and tinctures work well and allow the user to have more control over their dosage. You can even use patches that distribute a consistent level of CBD over a certain number of hours to keep the effects consistent.

Then there is the children. Some children have trouble sleeping, or they struggle to adjust after an accident or trauma they've faced; there is also the added stress from school and societal pressures. CBD can help. However, with children, you want to make sure that you are starting with a very low dosage that you can adjust at your discretion as a parent. Usually, it is administered as gummies or weak drops mixed into their food.

In Conclusion

The whole family could benefit from the introduction of CBD into their daily lives. Consider adding it into your natural remedy arsenal as it has so many different uses, and it is exceedingly rare to experience side effects. It could just improve the quality of life for the whole family.  Check out my other article about the pros and cons of CBD for more info.
