Women age naturally through menopause. It is marked with a cessation in menstrual cycles and a drop in estrogen production. This leads to a variety of symptoms, including hot flashes, mood swings and insomnia. There is no cure for menopause. However, cannabis has been proven to relieve many of its symptoms. This article will discuss how to use cannabis strains to treat the symptoms of menopause.

Although cannabis can be used to manage menopause symptoms, there are risks associated with its use. It may also interact with other medications so it might not be right for you. Your healthcare professional will help you decide if cannabis is safe or effective for your needs.

You can manage your menopause symptoms by choosing sativa-dominant strains, such as “Durban Poison,” and “Green Crack.” These strains are known for their energizing qualities and can improve mood and energy levels. They may also be helpful in reducing symptoms like brain fog and fatigue.
Indica-dominant strains, such as “Granddaddy Purple”, “Purple Kush”, and other varieties are excellent options to manage menopause symptoms at bedtime. These strains are known for their relaxing properties and can ease anxiety and insomnia. They are also known to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
CBD-dominant strains, such as “Charlotte’s Web”, and “ACDC”, can also be effective in managing the symptoms of menopause. The anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anxiolytic properties of CBD make it an ideal choice for managing symptoms such hot flashes or mood swings.
You should start slowly increasing your cannabis intake until you feel the desired effect. Avoid smoking and vaping cannabis. This can cause damage to your lungs. Consider using topicals, tinctures, and edibles instead. They are safer and more convenient.
Conclusion: Cannabis can be a great treatment option for treating symptoms of anxiety and depression.
