Summary: Using CBD for Motion Sickness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBD is a potent medicinal compound extracted from the cannabis plant. It owes much of its medicinal benefit<\/a> to its ability to enhance the endocannabinoid system \u2014 which is intimately involved with processes including nausea and vomiting [5<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal studies demonstrate a direct correlation between the endocannabinoid system and the region in the brain responsible for regulating nausea and vomiting [7<\/a>, 8<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drug companies have manufactured compounds that block the endocannabinoid (CB1) receptors in the brain. They recently tested one drug as a potential weight loss medication. Although it did help patients lose some weight, it also made them excessively nauseous [9<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study provides evidence that the endocannabinoid system is involved in regulating the nausea\/vomiting center in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The endocannabinoid system is thought to connect the physical and emotional relationship between the gut and brain, leading researchers to believe that CBD may provide relief from nausea caused by stress and gut infections [5<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD optimizes the endocannabinoid system by protecting anandamide levels \u2014 one of the primary endocannabinoids involved in regulating the nausea center in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guide to Using CBD for Motion Sickness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBD is an excellent option for preventing or managing motion sickness because it works on multiple causes of the disorder at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, it inhibits an enzyme known as fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) \u2014 which is responsible for breaking down our endocannabinoids. By blocking this enzyme, we can increase anandamide levels in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anandamide activates the endocannabinoid receptors in the nausea center of the brain to alleviate symptoms of motion sickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD has the added benefit of keeping the SNS from going haywire. This has a compounded advantage of relieving nausea and <\/em>anxiety \u2014 which are closely related and often strike at the same time. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your CBD Supplementation for Motion Sickness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
  1. Choose only high-quality CBD products<\/strong> \u2014 contaminants can make nausea worse<\/li>
  2. Choose full-spectrum extracts over <\/strong>CBD isolates<\/strong> <\/a>\u2014 the other cannabinoids in the formula offer benefits towards motion sickness<\/li>
  3. Take your dose of CBD before<\/em> motion sickness starts<\/strong> to maximize benefits<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How Much CBD Should I Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The first step to treating motion sickness with CBD is to determine the starting dosage<\/a>. This varies from one person to the next, so it\u2019s important to do some trial and error before locking down a particular daily dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most research involving CBD for motion sickness uses the supplement at high doses. Whether or not we need<\/em> high doses for the compound to work is still up for debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many people find relief at doses in the medium strength (see chart below), though you may need to try different doses until you find what works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We recommend starting at the smallest dose according to your weight, and increase gradually until you find the relief you need. The medium strength dose seems to work well for reducing motion sickness in many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For best results, take the CBD before the motion sickness starts<\/strong> \u2014 this can be difficult to predict, but if you frequently experience symptoms on a boat or plane, try taking the CBD dose an hour or so before your scheduled trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
