Menopause is no longer taboo... and neither is CBD: what the science says
Did you know that over 80% of women suffer from physical or psychological disorders during menopause?
What if CBD could effectively relieve these symptoms without major side effects?
1️⃣ Why is the menopause such an invisible ordeal?
Menopause is not a disease, but for many women it has all the symptoms:
-
Intense hot flashes,
-
Sleep disorders,
-
Irritability, mood swings,
-
Chronic fatigue,
-
Joint pain,
-
Unexplained weight gain,
-
Decreased libido...
This hormonal upheaval, often experienced in silence, impacts professional, intimate and social life.
And yet, few natural solutions are put forward by conventional medicine.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is sometimes effective... but far from risk-free: breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, serious side effects.
Many women are looking for gentler, non-hormonal alternatives to live through this transition in peace with their bodies.
