we all know holy cramp is *chef’s kiss* when it comes to tackling your period pain for you, but do we know ~why~?
✨ Period pain is caused by uterus muscles aggressively contracting, compressing the blood vessels lining the womb, and preventing oxygen from reaching the uterus, which contains tissues which release a chemical that triggers pain when deprived of oxygen.
✨When muscles contract for periods of time it can lead to long-term muscle pains as a result of the body’s nervous system reducing blood flow to the muscles, leaving them with less oxygen and causing a buildup of lactic acid.
✨CBD has been found to have relaxant and analgesic effects which helps to get those spasming uterus muscles to chill tf out. It can also help to reduce inflammation, without any of the associated side effects of ibuprofen.
