Tired Brits are being told to suck on some mints throughout the day to help them relax and enjoy a better night’s sleep.

Newly launched mints from The Sweet Botanist contain CBD oil and are said to aid relaxation and promote a good night’s sleep.

Similar products are already a hit with US celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston and they are becoming increasingly popular with the wider public.

It’s believed that around 4m Britons have tried a CBD product in the last 12 months and the trend looks set to continue.

Kim Kardashian has claimed CBD helps her get a good night’s rest and Jennifer Aniston recently declared using it has kept her calm and reduced levels of stress and anxiety.

The Sweet Botantist range includes gum and boiled sweets in two different flavours, Mindful Mint and Mellow Mint. Mellow Mint is peppermint flavoured and Mindful Mint spearmint.

Each pack of gum, weighing 21g, contains 45mg of CBD oil with the 30g carton of hard-boiled sweets containing 30mg of CBD oil.

The range contains cannabidiol (CBD) compounds, a naturally occurring substance extracted from hemp plants, which is free from THC*, the psychoactive part of a cannabis plant.

The CBD compound works through a body’s endocannabinoid system. When balanced, it can have a positive impact on overall well-being.

All the CBD oil used in The Sweet Botantist range can be traced back to the field it was grown in, working closely with the team who produce it.

Alongside benefitting overall wellbeing, CBD users noted their other reasons to consume the natural supplement. They included improving sleep, managing pain, and easing anxiety.

Helen Bradshaw from The Sweet Botanist said: “More and more people are using CBD to manage their health and well-being naturally, safely and discreetly.

“Our in-house experts, alongside an independent team, have thoroughly tested the products throughout the production process to ensure they contain the correct and consistent amount of CBD and are free from THC*, the psychoactive part of a cannabis plant.

“The Sweet Botanist spearmint hard boiled sweets and peppermint chewing gum are guaranteed to deliver CBD benefits, whilst delivering a refreshing minty hit.

“Great for those who need a bit of zing to attack the morning and perfect for those who need that little bit of calm in their otherwise hectic life towards the end of the day.

“They have all of the benefits of CBD, whilst tasting great too.”

The Sweet Botantist gum and boiled sweets have been developed by a team of experts that have been busy creating confectionery for over 125 years.
