238. CBD for Menstrual Cramps

Author: Ellen Scanlon April 23, 2024 Duration: 20:39
80% percent of women experience period pain at some point in their lives, and menstrual cramps are the top complaint. That's probably why we get so many questions about CBD for period cramps. In this episode, we look at how weed can help ease menstrual discomfort. We'll discuss the science behind CBD's soothing effects and its benefits as a natural alternative to traditional pain meds. If you're interested in learning more about how CBD for menstrual cramps can fit into your well-being routine, join us as we explore real stories and research that highlight its growing use and effectiveness. “Advil helped with the cramps, but it didn't help with that still unidentifiable pain that I have in my lower back. What did help was using CBD. And that's part of the reason why I never looked back after trying it for the first time. It became a passion for me so quickly because I was in such desperate need for it.” - Kerrigan If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend tuning into episode 148, 'Living with Endometriosis? Here’s Why Women Trust Cannabis to Help,’ and episode 32, ‘Blackberry Kush: Period Pain Fighter”.

Ellen Scanlon’s How to Do the Pot is an award-winning conversation that demystifies cannabis with a focus on women’s experiences. This isn’t a technical manual or a dry lecture; it’s a space where curiosity meets practical, joyful advice. The podcast explores how cannabis can intersect with health, well-being, and daily life, tackling questions that often go unasked. You’ll hear specific discussions about finding the right strain for relaxation or intimacy, using CBD for menstrual discomfort, and the nuanced differences between varieties like Harlequin and Gelato. There’s a deliberate and thoughtful choice in language here, too, favoring the term “cannabis” over other outdated labels. At its heart, the series amplifies personal stories and expert insights, creating a resource that feels both informative and deeply relatable. Whether you’re seeking relief, exploring for fun, or just want to understand the landscape better, this podcast provides a welcoming and smart guide through the often overwhelming world of cannabis, all from a perspective that is genuinely for women and by women.
