CBD for the Elderly: How to Explain CBD to Seniors

…or “How to explain CBD to senior citizens!”

Are you already a CBD fan yourself and think your grandparents could benefit from it too? But you don’t know how to start the conversation, because Granny and Grandpa automatically associate the hemp plant with smoking weed? Then you have come to the right place. In this post you will find everything you need to know about CBD for the elderly – for grannies and grandpas! So let’s go!

Finding the right way in

First of all: Granny and Grandpa were young once too. The probability that they themselves tried the green herb in their youth is not that small. 😉 In addition, the effects of CBD are now getting around in older circles too. Our oldest customer is a proud 97 years old! A good way in, for example, would be: “Hey Granny/Grandpa! Did you know that you can also consume hemp products without getting high? Hemp contains not only THC, but also CBD! CBD is said to have pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory and relaxing properties.”

Why CBD in old age?

There are many reasons why older people can benefit from CBD. Unfortunately, not only do certain illnesses become more common in old age, but older people are also often particularly burdened by their everyday lives.

1. Sleep

Many people do not get enough sleep in old age because their natural day-night rhythm no longer works so well. A study from 2019 suggested that CBD can have a positive effect here. This rhythm is particularly important for keeping the immune system as strong as possible for as long as possible.

2. Worries & emotional strain

Older people are also often increasingly plagued by worries. The last year in particular was an incredible strain for the grandparent generation. CBD can also be a support with worries about coronavirus.

3. Inflammation, arthritis & co.

Another topic that becomes more important in old age is inflammation, rheumatic diseases or arthritis. Research is already being carried out busily here too. As early as 2016, researchers found indications that CBD can have a positive effect on inflammatory joint disease.

4. Wound healing

The older we get, the worse our wound healing becomes. This often means a major restriction in everyday life. Especially with type 2 diabetes, also known as age-related diabetes, open wounds occur that heal very poorly. A research group in Maryland has investigated how CBD can help here. The investigations suggest that CBD has a positive influence on wound healing.

5. Mood

Our psychological well-being also has a major influence on the ageing process. Each of us has probably experienced in our private lives that getting older is not necessarily easy. Many older people suffer from loneliness and the loss of loved ones. Here, too, CBD can be helpful thanks to its mood-lifting properties.

What do you need to bear in mind?

Are you and your grandparents now convinced that they can indeed benefit from it in old age? Very good! Then we have a veeeery important piece of information for you: unfortunately, the endocannabinoid system declines with age. BUT that does not mean that all hope is lost. Quite the opposite. We therefore recommend that older people choose our Organic CBD Oil. Hemp oil naturally supports the synthesis of endocannabinoids in the body and thus also the build-up of the endocannabinoid system in old age. It may just take a little longer than in young people. That is why it is a good idea to stick with it for a few weeks! Have a little patience – we are sure: it’s worth it!
