We totally get it, prioritising self care can be a challenge. After all, life is busy, time is tight and we’ve all felt like we have a million things to do but not enough minutes in the day. We all know just how important it is to put wellness at the top of our to-do list, but in reality, finding the space in our overflowing calendars for us - some real self care - is easier said than done. Introducing CBD - or cannabidiol - into our routine is one of the easiest ways to boost your wellbeing, both physically and mentally - without really making much effort at all. It’s easy to see why CBD is growing so much in popularity: it’s a natural remedy and one that can seriously improve your mind, body and soul. 

Here, we explore the many benefits of introducing CBD into your self care routine and why our totally natural CBD range here at Unfabled could be the answer if your wellness is in need of a little nurturing. After all, CBD can help you discover the calm amongst the chaos while helping you to restore a natural balance between keeping energised and feeling relaxed. Of course, that’s not to mention the way CBD can enhance your life by helping to soothe those aches and pains.

What is CBD?

Simply put, CBD is a chemical compound extracted from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant. It’s a totally natural remedy, which activates the receptors in our brains to enhance things like our mood. Don’t worry, as our CBD products are all completely plant-based, they promise to be non-addictive and non-psychoactive. 

Thanks to it fast becoming one of the hottest wellbeing products on today’s market, CBD now comes in multiple formats. From CBD oil - probably the most well known of the bunch - to hand lotions, drinks, sprays, bath bombs and even chocolate. 

What are the benefits of CBD?

Helps improve menstrual wellbeing

Introducing CBD into your self care routine can help you navigate your way to better menstrual wellbeing - and not just during your period, but throughout the entire month. 

Whether you find yourself needing a little pain relief, or want to soothe those symptoms, we have a whole collection of carefully curated CBD products that can help you take back control of your menstrual wellbeing, whatever stage of your cycle.

To combat those cramps, try adding a KLORIS CBD bath melt next time you have a soak for that ultimate relaxation, and for those needing to satisfy those sweet cravings, enjoy the taste of a CBD-infused Phasey period chocolate. We even stock CBD tampons, which have been tried and tested by the team at Unfabled - and we can’t get enough of them. When those menstrual pains are getting too much, CBD will soon become your new best friend - and a completely natural, guilt-free one at that. 

Reduces anxiety levels 

And breathe…One of the most common benefits of CBD is helping to manage anxiety levels. Around one in six people across the UK live with anxiety, in some shape or form. Introducing CBD into your routine is proven to have a calming effect on your central nervous system, helping to relax your mind and restore balance in your body.

A sip of TRIP’s Elderflower Mint drink, infused with CBD or a drop of Our Remedy CBD oil is all you need to nourish your mind, helping you to find your happy place when life starts to feel a bit heavy.

Helps you get a better night’s sleep

Getting a good night’s sleep can have a direct impact on our wellbeing and daily energy levels. In fact, some might argue that it’s even more important than weaving a workout into your routine or making sure your diet is bursting with greens. If you struggle to drift off or find yourself wanting a deeper sleep, then a drop or two of one of our CBD oils could be the answer. After all, it’s not just about how many hours you get, but the quality of those fifty winks is just as important.

Alternatively, if you don’t fancy CBD oil, a Pollen’s Soothe You CBD Gummy before you put your head to the pillow might be all you need to get some serious shut-eye.

Helps you find the calm in those stressful situations

Everyone finds themselves facing stressful situations, at some point. It might be that you find your stress levels creeping up due to juggling a busy schedule, children, work, or looking after elderly relatives. Alternatively, you might be hit with a stressful situation unexpectedly - whatever the case, CBD is ready to step in as a natural relaxation agent.

Helping to declutter your mind and calm your heart rate, CBD will help you to regain focus, and get you back on track for the day ahead.

Helps to manage pains and discomfort

As part of a good self care routine, it always helps to discover easy ways to manage pain or discomfort. Whether you suffer from chronic ongoing pain, find yourself with the occasional headache or need to treat those post-workout aches, make sure you have a CBD product on hand. 

Its ability to relieve pain is one of the most common reasons people find themselves introducing CBD into their self care routine. For arthritis, multiple sclerosis, back pain and even long-term conditions like Parkinsons, CBD can be hugely effective. 

Why? CBD is shown to have a major impact on the glycine receptors, which are found in the central nervous system - and play a key role in how we perceive pain. While increasing the effectiveness of our glycine receptors, CBD can decrease the pain sensations we feel, as well as helping to reduce redding, swelling and acting as an anti-inflammatory.
