Menopause marks a significant phase in a woman’s life, and for many it is a time to rethink daily routines and make more space for self-care. Alongside sleep habits, exercise and nutrition, many women are curious about where CBD products might fit into a calmer daily rhythm.
CBD oil, derived from the hemp plant, contains cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound. Unlike THC, it does not cause a “high”. This article looks at how CBD can become part of a wellness routine during menopause, and what to consider when choosing a product. It is not medical advice: if you are experiencing menopause symptoms, please speak to your GP, who can discuss the options available to you.
Understanding Menopause
Menopause is a natural stage that most women reach between the ages of 45 and 55. It is defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period and is driven by a decline in hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone. The changes that come with this stage vary widely from woman to woman, which is why routines and self-care matter so much: there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Why Routines Matter During Menopause
Many women find that predictable daily rituals help them feel more grounded during a period of change. Small anchors, such as a consistent bedtime, a morning walk, a warm drink in the evening, or ten minutes of quiet before the day begins, are simple ways to look after yourself.
Where CBD Can Fit In
A Morning Ritual
Some women take a few drops of CBD oil under the tongue in the morning, or start the day with a CBD coffee, as a consistent first step in their routine.
A Mindful Pause
A cup of caffeine-free hemp tea, such as chamomile or lavender rooibos, is a pleasant way to take a break in a busy day.
An Evening Wind-Down
Many women build an evening ritual around switching off screens, a warm drink and a few minutes of stillness. Our Relax Mood Oil or a pot of hemp tea can be part of that ritual.
Self-Care and Massage
A CBD massage oil or muscle rub is a lovely addition to a bath-and-massage evening, or to a post-exercise stretch.
Choosing the Right CBD Product
- Full-spectrum vs. isolate: full-spectrum CBD contains a range of naturally occurring hemp compounds; isolate contains only CBD. Choose whichever you prefer.
- Quality and purity: choose organic products that are third-party tested and publish their lab reports.
- Legal considerations: make sure the product complies with UK regulations. GOGO Green Organics products are made to comply with UK requirements.
How to Use CBD Oil
- Speak to a healthcare professional first, particularly if you are taking any medication, including HRT.
- Follow the label: use the product as directed and do not exceed the stated amount. If you are new to CBD, a lower-strength product is a sensible starting point.
- Choose a format you enjoy: oil under the tongue, added to food or drink, or a tea, gummy or topical.
- Be consistent: most people use CBD as a daily routine rather than occasionally.
Is CBD Oil Legal in the UK?
Yes. CBD oil is legal in the UK provided it complies with UK law on controlled substances and novel foods and is not marketed as a medicine. GOGO Green Organics products meet these requirements and are available across the UK, including Scotland.
