Chronic pain

Chronic pain can occur for many reasons and CBD is officially not licensed for use in patients reporting chronic pain from undiagnosed conditions. However, when it comes to managing muscle aches, CBD works by sending chemical signals to cells that reduce inflammation and pain.

For some years now, science has struggled to prove that the use of cannabidiol is effective for the treatment of migraines and some cases of cluster headaches. Some studies have had preliminary results where more than 40% of the patients presented improvements in their discomfort. In order to reach these conclusions, a dose of 200 mg of THC-CBD was given to a group of 79 people, of which 40.4% showed a significant reduction in their migraine episodes.

CBD helps with lung capacity

In 2015, a group of scientists studied the effect of CBD in animals, managing to demonstrate a positive effect on the bronchial tubes. This, consequently, the CBD could help relieve some lung diseases. CBD has a protective effect that reduces inflammation and prevents damage to lung tissue. Some studies even claim that this substance improves the lung structure.

CBD could be one of the newest answers for the treatment of obesity by improving metabolic processes and increasing thermogenesis and energy production. By improving metabolism, the body burns more calories, resulting in an inevitable weight loss. Furthermore, this compound is believed to be effective in reducing appetite.

CBD benefits diabetes sufferers

Diabetes is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that currently has no cure. However, some patients with type II diabetes, who do not take insulin, may notice CBD benefits. Numerous scientific trials have made great strides in researching this compound, and so far the results are promising, as it has been proven that CBD contributes, among other things, to the reduction of insulin resistance.

Depression

At least 3.8% of the world’s population has been diagnosed with clinical depression. This figure represents approximately 280 million people, who require specialized treatment that, according to psychiatrists, could be supplemented with CBD. This is because cannabidiol has great psychiatric potential and can be used as an antidepressant and anxiolytic whose effects could last up to a week after consuming the first dose.

CBD benefits for people with autism

Autism has no cure and causes mild to severe symptoms in children and adults. In these cases, CBD, in small doses, seems to be a hopeful answer for treating autism. Scientists consider that the use of low doses of CBD help manage behaviors associated with autism, in addition to helping with cognitive function.

Anxiety

At least 40% of the US population has been diagnosed with anxiety, a disorder that can affect their lives —  especially those who do not have access to timely medical treatment. CBD has been shown to be useful in  reducing anxiety. However, it is important to only consume a compound with low doses of THC, otherwise more severe anxiety episodes may occur.

CBD fights arthritis

Another of the autoimmune diseases on this list of CBD benefits is arthritis, a condition that mainly affects the joints. It causes pain, inflammation and stiffness, among other issues. In a survey carried out by the Arthritis Foundation, it was found that 80% of arthritis patients surveyed use, have used or are considering using CBD as a preventive measure against arthritis pain.

Blood pressure

Contrary to other conditions in which the effectiveness of CBD is still a long way to go, blood pressure can be treated with this compound, especially in acute situations. Science has proven the positive impact of CBD in adult patients who present an unusual increase in blood pressure, by contributing to the vasodilation process.

Parkinson’s

Each year, 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which causes symptoms such as tremors, stiff limbs and incoordination, for which there is currently no cure. For this reason, the FDA has been increasingly open to the possibility of conducting studies to verify the effectiveness of CBD in Parkinson’s patients. So far, preliminary results report an improvement in quality of life.

Digestion

Chronic conditions such as constipation could be relieved with CBD. This is thanks to the effect that cortisol has to prevent alterations in the intestine and the wear of intestinal permeability. Another of the conditions that are helped by the use of CBD is irritable bowel syndrome, an incurable gastrointestinal disease that causes chronic symptoms.

Epilepsy

According to scientific studies that have been carried out in various parts of the world, CBD oil is useful in preventing epileptic seizures by activating CB1 receptors, which are found in the central nervous system. This also helps improve memory, without the patient having to worry about the psychoactive effects of conventional medications. In addition, patients have reported an improvement in their quality of life, presenting fewer and fewer epilepsy attacks.

Inflammation

One of the most important CBD benefits is the anti-inflammatory properties of this compound, which makes it easier to carry out daily activities without pain or discomfort. One of the most effective ways to take it is the sublingual spray or tincture. Patients have reported relief in periods of between 10 and 15 minutes.

Lupus

Lupus is another autoimmune disease that has no cure. It’s a condition that affects approximately 5 million people worldwide, producing symptoms such as fatigue, fever, joint pain and skin lesions. For many lupus patients, CBD has become the most sought-after answer, as it is an option that does not cause dependency or adverse side effects, but it does provide relief from pain and inflammation.
