Last week, you might have seen the buzz around World Heart Rhythm Week in the news. While the discussion about heart health, irregular heartbeats, and treatment options was front and center, CBD also popped up in these conversations.
While the perks of CBD are becoming better known, its impact on heart health and circulation hasn’t been highlighted enough. Let’s shed some more light on that.
World Heart Rhythm Week
World Heart Rhythm Week took place from June 4-10. We’re all aware that sudden chest pains signal bad news for living healthily and certainly for your heart. The Arrhythmia Alliance uses this week to raise awareness about heart rhythm disorders. An irregular heartbeat can put you at risk for fainting, something nearly half of us experience at some point.
It’s a good idea to check out their educational materials to stay informed about your heart health. Even just knowing how to check your pulse can help you catch any potential problems early on.
If you’re considering CBD to boost your heart health, let’s dive into some studies.
CBD and Your Heart
CBD is known for its benefits, and some UK nutritionists claim that CBD drops and supplements might reduce heart attack damage by saving heart muscle cells.
Of course, the goal is to avoid heart attacks altogether! We came across a promising study that shows CBD may aid heart health by interacting with CB1 receptors in your cardiovascular system.
Studies on CBD and Arrhythmia
Research in the British Journal of Pharmacology indicates that testing CBD on rodents has shown encouraging results. These tests have helped normalize both rapid (tachycardia) and slow (bradycardia) heart rates, though the exact reasons are still unclear. It’s thought the 2-AG endocannabinoid that interacts with CB1 receptors in the heart might be involved, but concrete answers may be years away.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that CBD might also help users relax, naturally lowering a stress-induced rapid heartbeat.
Worried About Your Heart?
Even though CBD’s potential in treating various symptoms is exciting, heart issues are no joke. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you should seek medical attention:
– Irregular or fluttering heartbeat
– Palpitations
– Dizziness or fainting
– Chest pains
If you’ve found CBD helpful for your cardiovascular health, sharing your experience can build the evidence supporting its benefits for various health issues.
