How CBD-Infused Beverages Can Support Stress Relief

Whether you’re a student juggling deadlines, a professional balancing work and life, or a parent managing the little ones, stress is an unavoidable part of modern life. Finding ways to unwind and restore balance is essential, and many are turning to wellness-enhancing options for relief. 

At our San Antonio coffee shop, we believe in offering more than just your daily caffeine fix – we provide cafe beverages that nourish both the mind and body. With the growing popularity of CBD-infused drinks, we’re excited to offer CBD and THC as optional add-ons to any of our menu items, giving you the power to enhance your wellness journey and find stress relief in every sip.

Here’s how CBD-infused beverages can support you with stress relief: 

How Does CBD Work for Stress Relief?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid that interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system is a complex network of receptors that help regulate essential functions, like mood, stress responses, sleep, hunger, and more. 

CBD primarily influences two key receptors in the ECS: CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors, mainly found in the brain, help regulate anxiety and stress, while CB2 receptors, found throughout the immune system, contribute to reducing inflammation and promoting balance. By interacting with these receptors, CBD helps modulate the release of stress hormones like cortisol, calming both the mind and body. 

At our coffee shop, you can choose to add CBD or THC to any of your favorite drinks, creating a custom wellness experience that fits your needs. Beyond CBD, we also offer other wellness enhancers, such as collagen peptides for skin and joint health, and a local allergen shot to support your immune system, ensuring every visit to our shop supports your holistic well-being.

The Benefits of CBD for Stress Relief

While the majority of research about CBD has been done in animal trials, recent legislation changes (such as the 2018 Farm Bill) have spurred additional research initiatives with human clinical trials. So far, many incredible benefits from CBD have been proven, such as anti-inflammatory properties, pain relief, addiction recovery, and more.

When it comes to stress relief, here’s what we know:

Regulates Cortisol Levels

Cortisol is the body’s primary stress hormone, released by the adrenal glands in response to physical or emotional stress. While it helps regulate critical functions like metabolism and immune response, prolonged cortisol release can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and fatigue.

CBD has been shown to help reduce cortisol levels, providing a natural way to combat the body’s stress response. According to Yale, CBD was effective in lowering cortisol levels in individuals experiencing high stress. By interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, CBD can ease the overproduction of cortisol, helping to reduce stress and its associated symptoms, such as anxiety, irritability, and even sleep disturbances. For those looking for a holistic solution, incorporating CBD into daily routines may offer significant relief from the pressures of everyday life.

Promotes Mental Clarity

Chronic stress can lead to brain fog and reduced mental clarity. CBD helps calm the mind, reducing overwhelming feelings and improving focus throughout the day. Some evidence even suggests that CBD can play a role in treating mental disorders, such as anxiety or depression, by soothing symptoms of racing thoughts, feelings of helplessness, and more. 

Supports Better Sleep

Stress often leads to insomnia or poor sleep. CBD can promote deeper, more restful sleep, contributing to a more relaxed and balanced mood during the day. Preliminary research also suggests CBD can help with a number of sleep disorders, including insomnia. In fact, The Sleep Foundation notes that sleep improved in more than 65% percent of participants in a study who took CBD to treat anxiety-related disorders.

While ongoing research is always important for emerging wellness trends, such as cannabis, it’s clear that the evidence so far points to CBD being a powerful tool. 

How CBD-Infused Beverages Fit into Your Daily Routine

CBD beverages can seamlessly fit into your daily routine, offering a boost of stress relief from morning to night. Start your day with a CBD-infused coffee from our menu, like a seasonal latte, a classic cold brew, or a matcha, to get that smooth energy you need without the jittery side effects of caffeine. The calming properties of CBD help balance the stimulating effects of coffee, so you can stay focused and calm as you power through your morning tasks. 

For an afternoon pick-me-up, opt for one of our famous plant-based energy drinks with a dose of CBD to keep your energy steady and stress at bay during work or school. When it’s time to wind down after a workout or prepare for a restful evening, a CBD-infused herbal tea can relax your body, ease muscle tension, and help you unwind with ease. 

No matter the time of day, incorporating CBD-infused beverages into your day is a simple and enjoyable way to manage your stress levels.
