Hemp is wonderful stuff. Got aches and pains? Apply some to your skin, wear a patch infused with hemp oil, or drop some in a beverage and drink it. It dials back your pain without almost no side effects.

Can’t sleep? Same. Apply hemp oil to the problem, relax, and sleep. No more waking up, restless at 3 a.m. unable to get back to sleep.

For anxiety, it can be the salve that has evaded you. The right dosage of hemp oil can turn your anxiety down from edge-of-panic to something that you can manage.

What is hemp oil? It’s an oil derived from hemp.

Hemp is a plant that is closely related to Marijuana (Mary Jane, pot herb, dope, reefer, you know.) Hemp has a lower percentage of THC than marijuana, which is why it is legal in all fifty states. But it has the medicinal qualities of low-dose THC. These include pain relief and a distinct calming but none of the crazy-talk highness of higher dosages.

Here are five products to try if you are ready to take advantage of this medicinal herb.

If anxiety is marring your relationships, point of view, ability to respond to situations appropriately? Sorry. It’s super hard to live in a constant state of vigilance, believing that any moment requires you to either fight or flee. The way you see the world affects everything about how you react to it. And anxiety makes you see everyday moments as an emergency.

For many people, CBD oil works as a very effective balm. Give it a try. Play with the dosage and frequency. It’s much milder than pharmeceutical solutions. But lots of people swear by it.

If you have tried lower dosages and gotten less-then-effective results, this high-dosage oil might do the trick. It’s 5000 MG, in capsules.
