CBD can occasionally cause palpitations, but it is uncommon at everyday supplement doses. In trials, a large 600mg dose lowered blood pressure slightly and raised heart rate by up to 10 beats a minute.
The FSA advises healthy adults to have no more than 10mg of CBD a day. It’s precautionary advice, not a legal limit: it isn’t against the law to take more.
At high doses, CBD can raise liver enzymes in some people. In a 2025 FDA trial, 5.6% of healthy adults taking about 350mg a day had raised liver enzymes within four weeks, against none on placebo.
The most common CBD side effects are diarrhoea, tiredness and appetite changes, with nausea and headaches less often. In trials they mostly appear at hundreds of milligrams a day, far above supplement doses.
Most people tolerate ashwagandha well, and the common side effects are mild: an upset stomach, drowsiness and headaches. Rarely, it has been linked to liver injury, and it can change thyroid hormone levels.
The best CBD oil for anxiety is a broad spectrum oil with 0% THC, batch lab reports and a clear dose, taken daily rather than only in a crisis.
No, CBD isn’t considered addictive. The World Health Organization found no evidence of abuse or dependence potential in humans, and controlled trials found people didn’t “like” CBD the way they like THC or sedatives.
Sober October is a month off alcohol, from 1 to 31 October. The hardest part for most people is the evening drink, so the trick is to swap it rather than skip it.
The best CBD balm UK shoppers can buy has a clear amount of CBD per ml, a batch lab report showing no THC and a full ingredient list.
“Damp” drinking means cutting down on alcohol rather than quitting: fewer drinking days, smaller or lower-strength drinks, and alcohol-free swaps. It’s a practical middle ground between drinking as usual and going dry.
“Cortisol face” is a social media term for a puffy, rounder face blamed on stress. Everyday stress doesn’t usually change your face shape. Morning puffiness is more often down to salt, alcohol, poor sleep or allergies.
Sleepmaxxing is a social media trend for optimising sleep with routines, gadgets and supplements. Some tips are backed by evidence, such as a consistent wake time, daylight, a cool dark bedroom and less late caffeine and alcohol.
