What happens during menopause?
Menopause is a natural phase of life during which a woman's hormonal balance undergoes fundamental changes. The declining estrogen levels affect the body and mind – often with noticeable consequences:
Irregular cycle
Hot flashes
Sleep disorders
Mood swings
Decreasing libido
This change often begins as early as the age of 40 – gradual but noticeable.
Why the endocannabinoid system plays a key role here
Our body has its own system that responds to cannabinoids—the so-called endocannabinoid system (ECS) . It regulates, among other things:
Mood
Sleep
appetite
Pain sensation
Recent studies suggest that the ECS is closely linked to estrogen levels. During menopause, when estrogen levels decline, CBD can help stabilize this internal balance—without any hormonal intervention.
How does CBD work in the body?
Supports emotional balance
Promotes relaxation
Can positively influence sleep behavior
Helps the body respond better to stress
CBD for menopausal symptoms – These benefits are particularly relevant
CBD can provide natural relief during menopause. It has particularly positive effects on:
1. Improve sleep quality
Many women complain of difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. CBD can help regulate the natural sleep rhythm – without any potential for addiction.
2. Stabilize your mood
Hormonal fluctuations have a direct impact on emotional well-being. CBD has a calming effect on the nervous system and can alleviate low moods.
3. Reduce stress and tension
Menopausal symptoms often worsen during stressful phases of life. CBD promotes relaxation and can help you navigate everyday life with more calm.
4. Support libido & intimate area
With the decline in estrogen, desire often decreases. CBD, through its relaxing effects, can help improve libido—both physically and emotionally.
5. Natural weight management
CBD itself is not a weight-loss product – but through better sleep, less stress, and more balance, weight becomes easier to regulate.
Other natural helpers during menopause
CBD can be optimally combined with other herbal substances that have proven effective in gynecology:
Black cohosh: Proven for centuries to relieve typical menopausal symptoms
Evening primrose oil: Rich in gamma-linolenic acid, nourishes skin and supports hormonal balance
Red clover: Contains natural phytoestrogens (isoflavones) that can gently compensate for estrogen deficiency
Vitamins and trace elements such as vitamin D, B6, magnesium and iron also contribute to stable well-being.

Your inner attitude plays a major role: Those who accept and actively support the change often experience menopause much more pleasantly. CBD can help bring balance to body and mind.
Conclusion: CBD as a herbal companion through menopause

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about CBD during menopause:
Can CBD help with menopausal symptoms?
Some users report that they find CBD beneficial during menopause—particularly for inner restlessness or trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Scientific studies on the specific effects of CBD on menopausal symptoms are still in their early stages. However, CBD can contribute to promoting general well-being.
How is CBD oil typically used?
CBD oil is typically placed drop by drop under the tongue and held there for about 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. This allows it to be absorbed through the oral mucosa. The optimal dosage varies from individual to individual; a slow approach is recommended.
Does CBD affect hormone levels?
CBD doesn't have a hormonal effect in the traditional sense. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is involved in various regulatory processes. Whether and how this affects hormonal balance is currently being scientifically investigated.
Can side effects occur when taking CBD?
CBD is generally considered well-tolerated. In isolated cases, adverse effects such as fatigue, dry mouth, or interactions with medications may occur. Individuals who regularly take medication or have health conditions should seek medical advice before taking it.
Is CBD legal?
Yes. CBD products are legal in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, provided they comply with applicable EU regulations. This includes, among other things, having a THC content of less than 0.2% (Switzerland: 1%). It's important to only use products from reputable manufacturers with tested quality.
When can an effect be noticeable?
The effects of CBD vary from person to person. Many users report feeling more balanced and relaxed after a few days to weeks of regular use. However, an immediate effect is not guaranteed.
