How CBD Can Help With Heat Exhaustion

Summer for some means time for celebration. Time for travel. Time to explore nature and have some fun. Time for picnics, beach parties and spending the day swimming in pools. Summer also means hot weather and extreme heat. Heat Exhaustion is a heat related illness they can occur when your body is exposed to high temperatures and overheating often ending up in dehydration. There are two types of exhaustion: water depletion - patients may experience excessive thirst, headaches, loss of consciousness or weakness/fatigue. Salt depletion - means patients will feel dizziness, nausea, vomiting and have muscle cramps.

Using CBD For Heat Exhaustion

CBD or cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive component from the cannabis plant. CBD is mostly extracted from the hemp plant for high amounts of CBD and very low THC. CBD has numerous therapeutic properties. CBD is the most effective cannabinoid to deal with heat exhaustion.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) plays a major role in promoting balance in your body.

When CBD enters your body system it helps the ECS to carry out its functions effectively. CBD helps to regulate blood pressure. In case of heat, if you feel that your heart is beating too fast then you can drop CBD oil under your tongue like Mellow Organic's Mellow CBD Oil or Mellow Full Spectrum CBD Oil and CBD will help control the blood pressure.
