Studies suggest that CBD (a non-psychoactive compound) may have therapeutic properties. For many years, humans have used this compound to manage health issues such as anxiety, restlessness, etc. 
According to researchers, CBD may interact with CB1 receptors, triggering your body to secrete happy hormones (serotonin and dopamine), leaving you with a relaxed, calm feeling.
It's important you understand that CBD may have health benefits in low volumes, but if you ingest CBD in large amounts, this may worsen the intensity of your anxiety.
