ANXIETY, PAIN, AND MORE - CBD FOR SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS
by Emily John Digital Marketing Service ProviderAfter
decades of cannabis prohibition, our scientific understanding of how CBD works
for specific symptoms and conditions is just getting started. Although many Canadians safely consume CBD
for medical and therapeutic reasons, it’s always best practice to visit your
family doctor or a cannabis-savvy physician (not always the same person) to
discuss if CBD is right for you.
CBD FOR ANXIETY
Although
more controlled clinical studies are needed, numerous preclinical and case
studies have found CBD to be safe and effective in easing symptoms of
generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic
stress disorder
CBD FOR NEUROPATHIC PAIN
CBD
inhibits glutamate release and other inflammatory agents, which makes it
neuroprotective and excellent at dulling the prickling, tingling, and burning
sensations associated with neuropathy, or neuropathic pain.
CBD FOR INFLAMMATION
CBD is
a potent anti-inflammatory, making it a potential treatment for a range of
inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel
disease, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia, to name a few.
CBD is
often touted as a analgesic, or pain-reliever, but this is a matter of some
debate. Many researchers believe that
CBD relieves pain by addressing its cause-such as inflammation-rather than
treating the pain itself. The best
evidence of CBD’s analgesic effects pertains to neuropathic pain specifically.
CBD FOR INSOMNIA
Similar
to its relationship with pain, CBD’s impact on insomnia is debatable, and there
is very little research to support its role in sleep, good or bad. Anecdotally, however, many consumers claim it
helps with sleep. More research is needed, but currently it is theorized that
CBD promotes sleep by easing factors that disrupt it, like anxiety, or by
working in concert with other cannabis ingredients, like the calming terpene
myrcene.
CBD FOR SEIZURES
In both
children and adults, large doses of CBD and CBD-based medications (Epidiolex)
have had remarkable success in reducing the overall number of seizures
experienced by patients with various forms of epilepsy, including rare and
intractable forms such as Dravet Syndrome.
