PTSD and Full Spectrum Oil

PTSD & Full Spectrum Hemp Oil:

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder that occurs in individuals who experience or witness traumatic events.

It is estimated that approximately 10% of the New Zealand population experience PTSD at some point in their lives.

PTSD is a serious, life altering condition that requires support and understanding from healthcare professionals, friends, family and humanity at large.

PTSD could be the result of (but not limited to)

A car or vehicle accident, or serious injury Sexual Abuse or Assault Violence Suffering the loss of a home through fire or earthquake Emotional Abuse or Gaslighting Neglect or other type of childhood abuse where your needs were not met War The death of a loved one Having a career where you deal with traumatic events (Police, Firefighter, Social Worker) Bankruptcy Health Scares

Once going through traumatic event/s a person can suffer from extreme anxiety, depression, flashbacks, insomnia, stress, nightmares or trouble concentrating. They may be triggered by sensory events related or unrelated to the trauma.

Brain scans have shown that the amygdala (the part of the brain that processes emotions linked to a fear response) is different in people who have PTSD - resulting in a heightened fear response to events or stimuli that reminds them of the trauma.

How does Full Spectrum Oil help those with PTSD?

While the condition can be complex to treat, cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system may be a powerful part of the PTSD treatment plan.

Cannabinoids restore balance to the nervous system, and are known to lower a triggered nervous system response. Full Spectrum Oil will also help repair and protect the brain, including the amygdala, in those who are suffering from PTSD. A study published in the 2017 British Journal of Pharmacology explained that Full Spectrum Oil shows signs of disrupting the amygdala's association with fear.

Full Spectrum Oil works on the serotonin pathway, a large amount of evidence points to Full Spectrum Oils efficacy in treating overall symptoms, such as reducing flashbacks, increasing quality of sleep, and decreasing anxious feelings. The endocannabinoid system has been shown to be involved with emotional memory and regulation of the stress response. Specifically, Full Spectrum Oil has been shown to interact with CB1 receptors to help expunge terrible recurring memories, anxiety and nightmares.
