CBD or Cannabidiol is an important compound extracted from cannabis plants for medical use. People of all ages, from as young as 18 to over 60 years old, have increasingly started using this amazing cannabinoid over the past few years. This phenomenon of extreme usage is accredited to the amazing benefits that it activates in the bodies of the users.
Out of all the formulations that CBD is used in, CBD oil happens to be a favorite. Let us then go through a list of important health benefits of CBD oil that a medical marijuana doctor from San Jose swears by.
One of the most recognizable benefits of CBD use is with respect to extreme pain management. There are many studies that can attest to this claim. Not just today, the pain-relieving property of cannabis has been revered for centuries due to the existing anecdotal and written records of cultures around the world.
This rich history of CBD use for chronic and nonchronic pain called for many experimental studies to pop up as proof for the same. With medications like Sativex, an oral spray created by infusing CBD and THC in equal proportions, the pain improvement benefits were experienced by the users. It was successful in helping patients suffering from conditions like Multiple Sclerosis as well as cases of rheumatoid disorders like Fibromyalgia.
There are two methods of using CBD oil for pain relief: Ingestion and Topical. It is up to the patient to choose the type of usage method that most appeals to them.
The calming and relaxing effect of CBD is pretty evident for anyone who has ever used this cannabinoid. Unlike its counterpart THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol, there are no psychoactive or ‘high’ effects associated with its use. This is why it is the perfect compound that people suffering from severe mental disorder issues like depression can use.
Traditionally, the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders is done via therapies and prescribed medications. However, with the emergence of CBD as an effective medication, without any side effects, for the treatment of intense anxiety and depression, people switched to its use quite fast. It was possible only due to important studies that discovered the anxiolytic properties of CBD and how it can help people suffering from social anxiety.
Epidiolex is a special medicine infused with the goodness of CBD. The important fact about this medication is that in 2018 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), regulated its use for patients suffering from two specific forms of Epilepsy:
Such neurological disorders have a higher tendency to find their ultimate treatment by putting the beneficial effects of CBD to best use. Epidiolex was specially developed for patients who are allergic to the traditional medicines of Epilepsy. As a result, people were able to switch to the use of this CBD-infused medication without the chance of any allergies affecting them.
CBD has positive effects on many severe symptoms of Cancer that cause great distress to the suffering individual. Be it nausea, appetite loss, vomiting or pain, CBD has the magic to solve every problem that comes attached to a debilitating condition like Cancer. There are some THC and CBD mix medicines that are greatly regarded as some of the most effective ones when it comes to alleviating the suffering of cancer patients.
To add to the conversation there is the possibility of CBD aiding in the process of
However, this research is still in its early stage so it is not wise to advise patients to use CBD for these purposes as of yet.
PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a mental disorder that adversely affects the psyche of a person who has endured a traumatic event firsthand as a victim of second hand as a witness. Such people are not able to recuperate from the horrifying memories and it often manifests itself in the form of nightmares or intense flashbacks.
This is another medical condition that can, to a great extent, be treated or managed by the right consumption of CBD oil. Whether it be via ingestion in an oral way for relief from within or by topically applying it on the site of aggravation for chronic pain relief.
Diabetes is another major medical issue that can be resolved with the help of CBD oil. After exhaustively testing out CBD on human cells, it was revealed that the severe effects of glucose levels on the cells can be reduced with the help of CBD. Via another study, it was found out how CBD can decrease the levels of Resistin and increase the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide.
Such studies and important research hint at the endless opportunities of using CBD oil for Diabetes to regulate the insulin-related hormonal level inside the bodies of patients.
If you are a person who suffers from pain in the muscle tissues surrounding the joints in your body or whenever you stretch out your body in any way, it could very well be a sign of Arthritis. It was with Sativex, the same CBD oil-infused medication mentioned for pain relief, that the pain during movement and joint activity of Arthritis patients was treated.
Quite amazingly then the benefits of CBD oil became quite obvious for patients suffering from arthritis as well. Even when there are some interesting studies that have covered this subject before, there is a need for some more substantial ones to pop up that would help people in believing the important benefits even more.
