 We all know CBD is a good thing. But do you know why? We hear reports of it being able to help in a myriad of ways, but what do we know for sure that it can do?
Well, research does show that CBD really can do quite a lot. One of the longest recorded uses of CBD is for pain relief. Records go back as far as 2900 BC showing this use. Recent research has confirmed that CBD has analgesic benefits. Some specific diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis and Arthritis have both been shown to respond well to a combination of CBD and THC in human trials. More research needs to be done, but experts do find merit in treating pain with CBD, particularly when combined with THC. Another established benefit from CBD is the effect it has on anxiety and mood disorders. Issues such as depression and post traumatic stress disorder can impact day-to-day life and often also cause physical and emotional stress. Research seems to imply that CBD does have favorable benefits on anxiety and mood disorders. CBD studies have shown some evidence of cancer tumor reduction, as well as blocking the spread of malignant cells in various types of cancer. CBD has also been shown to help with side effects of cancer treatments like chemotherapy. CBD can lessen the severity of some of these such as nausea, vomiting, and weight loss due to lack of appetite. The FDA has even approved three medications derived from cannabis in the hopes that they can reduce some of these cancer treatment side effects, and also for use in appetite stimulation for those with AIDS. CBD has also been extensively researched in treating neurological illnesses, including epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. While studies in this field are still in their infancy, early findings have been encouraging. CBD has been proven to improve their quality of life and sleep. There have also been many personal experiences showing an incredible improvement in epilepsy patients, in reducing the number of seizures. And lastly, CBD has also shown potential to improve cardiac health in certain people. This isn’t the extent of the CBD benefits, but rather just some of the many areas that have shown evidence in clinical research that CBD is truly a good thing. Comments are closed.
