Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other similar disorders can be difficult to manage, to say the least, and not just for the person with the diagnosis, but it can have an impact on the whole family. Many pharmaceutical medications can have harsh side effects and contraindications, so there is a growing interest in natural supplements or compounds that help support the many symptoms associated with these disorders. Beta Caryophyllene (BCP) is one such compound that is known to help with the management of these symptoms because of its ability to interact with the body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS). What is Beta-Caryophyllene? BCP oil is a natural terpene found in various plants such as black pepper, cloves, cannabis and rosemary. Unlike other compounds in cannabis, BCP is non-intoxicating and works by binding directly to CB2 receptors in the ECS. Hence, why it is sometimes called a CB2 oil. These receptors are primarily located in the immune system and peripheral tissues, making BCP a powerful anti-inflammatory and mood-regulating compound. How Beta-Caryophyllene Supports Autism and ADHD: People with autism often have comorbid diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, ADHD, epilepsy, allergies, autoimmune conditions, and gastrointestinal conditions. Studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that BCP may help with these common symptoms by promoting balance within the ECS. Here’s how: 1. Reducing Outbursts and Hyperactivity -The ECS plays a vital role in regulating mood and behaviour. By activating CB2 receptors, BCP may help calm overactive neural pathways, leading to reduced hyperactivity and outbursts often associated with ADHD and ASD. 2. Supporting Better Sleep – Insomnia and irregular sleep patterns are common challenges. BCP’s calming effects on the nervous system can promote relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep through the night. 3. Managing Anxiety and Depression – Many individuals with ASD and ADHD experience heightened levels of anxiety and depression. BCP’s anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic properties may help reduce these feelings, providing a greater sense of emotional stability. 4. Easing Repetitive Behaviours – For those with ASD, repetitive behaviours or obsessive-compulsive tendencies can be a significant hurdle. By promoting a balanced ECS, BCP could potentially help ease these repetitive behaviours, allowing for greater focus and flexibility. 5. Promoting Focus and Attention – For individuals with ADHD, maintaining focus can be a constant battle. BCP’s role in reducing inflammation and promoting a calm, focused mind may support better concentration and task management. How to Incorporate Beta-Caryophyllene: Canna Oils offers a range of beta-caryophyllene-rich products, including Ultra and Ultra Blend oils. The Sleep In A Bottle blend is a natural sleep supplement, which can be used on its own or in partnership with the Ultra products for a more all round benefit. Why Choose Beta-Caryophyllene Over Other Options? Unlike many traditional medications, the Canna Oils range is non-addictive, non-psychoactive, and has no known side effects. This makes it an appealing natural alternative for families seeking holistic support for ASD and ADHD symptoms.
