CBD Oil for Chronic Pain Management

Image
CBD is just one of over 100 types of compounds called cannabinoids. This compound is most commonly associated with cannabis. However, unlike THC, CBD does not cause a “high” or any type of psychoactive or mind-altering effect. CBD comes from natural hemp or cannabis plants, where it is extracted and added into a carrier oil to become CBD oil. What CBD oil does is engage with the human body’s endocannabinoid system or ECS and make it more productive, or inhibit it, in some cases. This is the system in the body that helps regulate sleep, the immune-system, and pain. For example, CBD can stop the body from absorbing pain regulatingcompounds such as anandamide, which reduces the amount of pain a person may feel. This activation of the ECS system is what makes a CBD oil an option for chronic pain management. For centuries, CBD has been traditionally used to treat a variety of conditions, but only recently has it begun to be studied medically. A recent study by t...

CBD is the Best Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Cancer, Anti-Anxiety Superfood You’re Not Eating

Image
Coming from cannabis plants is a non-psychoactive, non-intoxicating cannabinoid compound called CBD. This compound is becoming well known for its ability to be anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety while being natural and plant-based. CBD comes from the same cannabis plants that contain THC, which is notoriously known for causing intoxication. A Cannabis plant that contains less than 0.3% THC is considered a hemp plant, which produces high levels of CBD. More and more people are turning to CBD as a source for a natural anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and anti-cancer superfood alternative. CBD works with the body’s endocannabinoid system to help maintain homeostasis. The endocannabinoid system is the body’s system that regulates sleep, pain, and the immune system. CBD works to reduce inflammation, can decrease blood pressure, and has even shown to kill cancer cells.   The compound can kill cancer cells through the anti-angiogenic and apoptotic processes. However, CBD has...

CBD and Neuropathy

Image
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most popular cannabinoids, or chemical compounds, derived from the cannabis plant. The popularity of CBD use has soared in recent years due its wide array of health benefits. CBD has been known to reduce inflammation, combat anxiety, act as a sleeping aide, and reduce the likelihood of seizures. As research surrounding CBD has become more prevalent, there are even more health conditions that CBD is thought to help treat. Of these areas, CBD’s ability to treat neuropathy is especially promising. Neuropathy is a condition that occurs when one’s peripheral nerves are damaged, which in turn produces pain, numbness, and weakness throughout the body. Also referred to as “peripheral neuropathy,” neuropathy can result from infections, injuries, exposure to toxins, and/or diabetes. Neuropathy causes nerves to become confused and send false signals to the brain, which can result in a variety of symptoms. Common symptoms include tingling or numbness in th...

Is CBD A Potential Therapeutic for Cardiovascular Diseases

Image
The cardiovascular system plays a vital physiological role in the human body. This system is made up of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. It is responsible for carrying oxygen cells in the bloodstream, transporting nutrients, and hormones. The system also gets rid of waste like carbon dioxide using the same systems. Malfunction of the cardiovascular system is catastrophic and often lethal and is among the leading causes of death worldwide. Some diseases and conditions associated with the malfunction of this system are chronic rheumatic heart diseases, coronary heart diseases, hypertension, and disease of the arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. Prevention and treatment of these diseases are often associated with a healthy diet and exercise. However, research is beginning to find CBD as a new solution in preventing and treating diseases associated with the cardiovascular system. CBD’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidative benefits are the keys to being a therapeutic source for ...

Hemp vs. Marijuana

Image
To understand the difference between hemp and marijuana, one must first understand the cannabis plant. Though they are sometimes used interchangeably, hemp, marijuana, and cannabis are not the same thing. Cannabis is a plant family with two primary classifications: indica and sativa. Both marijuana and hemp are derived from cannabis; however, marijuana is derived from both cannabis sativa and cannabis indica plants, where hemp is solely derived from cannabis indica. Perhaps the biggest difference between marijuana and hemp, however, is their chemical makeup. The cannabis plant contains several different chemical compounds known as cannabinoids, the most popular of which are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Marijuana contains an abundance of THC, which is the chemical responsible for marijuana’s psychoactive effects. Conversely, hemp contains higher levels of CBD and little to no THC (0.3% or less), and therefore will not get one “high.” Aside from their chemical ...

What’s the Best CBD Dosage?

Image
Cannabidiol(CBD) is one of the most popular cannabinoids, or chemical compounds, derived from the cannabis plant. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD has no psychoactive properties (meaning it will not get one “high”). However, CBD does have a wide range of health benefits and uses. CBD has been known to reduce inflammation/physical pain, combat anxiety, mitigate the likelihood of seizures, and even prevent cancer. There are also a number of ways in which CBD is consumed. Some of the most popular consumption methods include vaporizers, CBD oil, edibles, and CBD creams/ointments. Despite a wide range of CBD options, it can be difficult to gauge what method of CBD consumption is best suited for one’s medical needs. Additionally, it can be even more difficult to determine the right dosage of CBD, as well as how to properly administer doses depending on how it is being absorbed into the body. For one, the FDA has not created a recommended daily intake for CBD, so there is no offic...

What’s the Best Way to Absorb CBD (Cannabidiol)?

Image
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that are derived from the cannabis plant, the two most popular of which are, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the cannabinoid that is known for its psychoactive properties, meaning it is the part of cannabis that induces a “high.” Conversely, CBD does not have any psychoactive effects. It does, however, possess a wide range of health benefits. In fact, CBD has been known to reduce inflammation/physical pain, mitigate the likelihood of seizures, and is even used to combat anxiety. However, figuring out how best to consume CBD can be a daunting task, especially considering the ever-increasing amount of consumption methods. To better understand CBD consumption methods, one must first understand the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is biological networks of cannabinoid receptors that help the body maintain homeostasis (biological harmony in the face of environmental changes). Simply put, the endocannabi...

What is CBD2?

Image
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the major cannabinoids, or chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD has no psychoactive effects (meaning it will not get you “high”).It does, however, have numerous health benefits and uses. CBD has been known to reduce inflammation and pain, reduce the likelihood of seizures, treat anxiety, and even prevent cancer. The key to CBD’s effectiveness is in the way the body responds to cannabinoids. Our bodies have what is known as an endocannabinoid system, which is a biological system of receptors activated by cannabinoids. While the body naturally produces cannabinoids, the endocannabinoid system can also be activated by external cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. Continue reading

What is CBD?

Image
CBD stands for Cannabadiol and is one of over a hundred phytocannabanoids found in the flower of the Cannabis plant. Without going into a full biology/botany lesson, it should be noted that phytocannabanoids are simply naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant.  CBD and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) are the two most noted of these compounds and the two most studied. So what is CBD, and why is CBD so popular lately? There are certain aspects that set CBD apart from other compounds found in marijuana. CBD has many therapeutic attributes and is proving to be a very useful compound in research for more natural forms of medicine. As medicinal marijuana research gains in popularity, CBD is one of the main compounds being studied. It has already show promise in treating a wide assortment of ailments and disorders from chronic physical pain to mental issues like anxiety and depression. There is already one CBD drug Epidiolex, used for childhood epilepsy, approved by ...

CBD Oil for Health

Image
People take or apply cannabidiol (CBD) to treat a variety of symptoms, but there is some confusion about what it is and how it affects the human body. CBD is one of many compounds in the cannabis plant, known as cannabinoids. Until recently, the best-known compound in cannabis was delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC creates a mind-altering “high” when a person smokes it or uses it in cooking. CBD is different. Unlike THC, it is not psychoactive. This means that CBD does not change a person’s state of mind when they use it. However, CBD does appear to produce significant changes in the body. Researchers have been looking at the possible therapeutic uses of CBD. Hemp contains most of the CBD that people use medicinally. Hemp and marijuana come from the same plant but the two are very different. Over the years, marijuana farmers have selectively bred their plants to contain high levels of THC. Hemp farmers, on the other hand, have rarely modified the plant. These hemp pla...

CBD and Cancer

Image
CBD is a type of cannabinoid compound. There are over 100 types of cannabinoids, the most famous of which is THC. This compound is famously associated with marijuana and causing a psychoactive effect or“high”. CBD however, is a cannabinoid that does not have any mind-altering or psychoactive effects. CBD comes from hemp or cannabis plants and can be extracted into a carrier oil to become CBD oil. Sold in various forms, CBD is making headlines for its anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and anti-cancer benefits. CBD affects the body by interacting with the body’s own endocannabinoid system. This system is responsible for maintaining the immune system, managing pain, and regulating sleep. Regarding CBD’s possible anti-cancer benefits, there are two main effects associated with CBD, stopping and slowing the growth of cancer cells, and the management of symptoms associated with chemotherapy. A study conducted in 2013 by the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that CBD has...

CBD Oil for Pain

Image
According to the Institute of Medicine of The National Academies, 100 million Americans live with chronic pain. Chronic pain can increase healthcare costs, negatively impact productivity at work, as well as drastically reduce the overall quality of life. Over-the-counter and prescription pain medications are often recommended in the treatment of chronic pain, but many people seek out alternative forms of relief. Some of these people wish to avoid the side effects frequently associated with standard pain medication. Others have apprehensions about becoming dependent on such medications. As concerns over opioid overdoses continue to escalate, some proponents suggest that CBD oil could provide a solution to opioid addiction. Scientists are still trying to determine how CBD oil might alleviate pain. There is some evidence that cannabidiol may affect the body’s complex system of cell-to-cell communication called the endocannabinoid system. Along with contributing to brain func...
