Did you know that CBD can help relieve PMS symptoms? This is one of the reasons why some customers take Baked Goods CBD products.

“Because CBD interacts indirectly with the whole endocannabinoid system to restore balance, it can relieve many of the symptoms of PMS, including discomfort, anxiety, acne, digestive issues, and insomnia,” confirms The CBD Oil Miracle by Laura Lagano, MS, RDN, CDN.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is interwoven with the female reproductive system. CBD may be used to target the ECS, and could contribute to addressing PMS symptoms. 

Here’s how it might help ease symptoms: 

• It may calm down inflammation: If you’re struggling with inflammation outside of PMS, this could impact the severity of symptoms, such as acne and pelvic pain (cramping). CBD is naturally anti-inflammatory and can be considered for reducing inflammation via the ECS. 
• CBD could boost your intake of omega-3 fatty acids: When CBD is combined with coconut oil, you’re also consuming medium-chain triglycerides (MCT).MCT oils such as coconut contain omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce bloating and breast tenderness. 
• May promote mood improvement: CBD has not shown to increase serotonin in the body. But scientists postulate that when you take CBD, it could impact how your brain responds to serotonin. Thus, there’s potential in taking it to manage PMS-related mood swings. 

Taking CBD could open new doors in your health journey. Reach out if you have questions on how to use it for women’s health, chronic pain, athletic recovery, and more.
