CBD Gummies

Dizzy
over 3 years ago

Hi, can I ask if anyone has tried CBD gummies for a highly anxious, ASC/ADHD child to help them cope at school? If so, do you think they helped and how many milligrams did you give them? My 12 year old daughter finds everything about school really stressful and missed many days last term due to this. She cannot focus even for 1 minute and despite many classroom breaks & a very good support team at school (unlike my older daughter, who has hardly any support & is now on Sertraline) she still cannot cope with the day. I have heard that 10mg of CBD gummies from Holland & Barrett can help but keen to hear anyone's thoughts (p.s.I know I can't give them to my daughter on Sertraline).

    CDB can be helpful to some. Both my son and I have taken it on occasion. However, there is some research (and also from experience) to note that it can weaken your immune system, so I'd be sure to also take an immune booster like a mushroom complex or astragalus or Ashwaganda.  

    Research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7173676/ "CBD is immune suppressive and that the mechanisms involve direct suppression of activation of various immune cell types, induction of apoptosis, and promotion of regulatory cells, which, in turn, control other immune cell targets." 

    There are other natural remedies for stress as well. But I do have ADHD friends who take Lions Mane mushroom and say it's helped with focus and clarity. It's in a full complex for immune health https://timehealth.co.uk/product/organic-mushroom-complex-6-chaga-cordyceps-shiitake-reishi-lions-mane-maitake/ or you could get just the Lion's Mane. To my knowledge, these don't interfere with CDB, so the immune health with lions mane could be useful for a daily, coupled with CDB when stressed?
