As a mom, you know probably better than anyone that being severely stressed out is a fast-track to feeling unwell. The more you have on your plate, the higher your risk of getting headaches, having trouble sleeping, battling anxiety, etc. From calling a friend to pouring a glass of rosé, we all have our go-to remedies for stress-related ailments. But there's a relatively new game in town that's only getting more and more buzz: therapeutic products made with CBD, or cannabidiol, which could potentially relieve a bevy of every day wellness concerns.

CBD comes from either a marijuana or a hemp plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)—which only comes from marijuana—CBD is non-psychoactive and therefore, won't get you high. But a growing body of research has proven that CBD has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-psychotic, anti-convulsant, and antidepressant properties. There's certainly confusion about the legality of CBD. CBD products derived from marijuana version are only available in states that have legalized the plant, while those that come from hemp are easy to find online and in stores nationwide. And of the latter, there are options that could do wonders to bolster your wellness.

Here, CBD products that may be particularly beneficial for moms.
