I have seen a lot of people retain a conservative perception of marijuana use. Even when you go to big cities where medical marijuana has been legalized, people are still hesitant to adopt substances like CBD. To understand what CBD could do for you, it is important to dig a bit deeper about what CBD is, its potentials and the promises it gives when it comes to boosting your health.
CBD comes from the Cannabis sativa plant which can also be used to produce marijuana and hemp. From the resin of cannabis buds and flowers and usually diluted with another oil, CBD is extracted. However, there is a major difference between CBD and marijuana since CBD does not contain THC. So yes, you may not get high when you use CBD.
According to a report from the World Health Organization, CBD is safe for almost everyone. Research has also shown several CBD oil benefits ranging from alleviating social anxiety to improving rheumatoid arthritis. Whether you are taking CBD Tinctures or CBD Vape Pens or CBD edibles, here are 4 ways CBD could boost your health.
CBD may improve mood disorders
CBD is known to work directly on the brain receptors, 5HT1A (serotonin) and GABA (an inhibitory neurotransmitter). According to a 2010 study, cannabidol could reduce symptoms of social anxiety in people with social anxiety disorder. Not only cannabidol change the way participants responded to anxiety, it also made participants feel better. A 2015 analysis, concluded that CBD oil is a promising treatment for different forms of anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and social anxiety disorder.
CBD may decrease chronic pain
A study after using an animal model to see if CBD could help people with arthritis manage their pain discovered that CBD oil could help persons with arthritis find relief from their pain.
A separate study in Journal of Experimental Medicine research suggests that using CBD can reduce inflammation and chronic pain by inhibiting transmission of neuronal signalling through pain pathways.
May helps treat seizures
CBD may relieve epilepsy in children. There is early evidence from anecdotal reports, laboratory studies, and small clinical studies which suggest CBD could potentially help control seizures. People with epilepsy who may not have responded to traditional therapies may have benefited from specific plant-based CBD during treatment.
May aid gut health
CBD could heal the leaky tight junctions that contribute to intestinal permeability. According to a paper published within the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, cannabis has been used to treat a variety of disorders associated with the gastrointestinal tract.
CBD also decreases spasmodic activity which is common in irritable bowel syndrome.
