Health benefits of CBD oil
Although CBD oil and other CBD products are being used mainly as pain-relief and anti-stress/anxiety agents, CBD oil has many other health benefits. Focused mind, a sharper memory, and healthier skin are some of the many benefits that CBD has to offer. The longer you use CBD oil, the better the results are going to be. But how much of a difference does it make? How beneficial is CBD oil for health?
What is CBD oil?
CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a chemical compound obtained from the cannabis plant. CBD is used in medicinal science because of its ability to interact with the brain’s neuroreceptors. It binds with CB1 receptors of the ECS (Endocannabinoid system), which are responsible for handling certain emotions such as pain, anxiety, stress, and similar emotions. CBD binds with the CB1 receptors, limiting it from outside influences, effectively controlling its functionality, which is, feeling pain, stress, anxiety, etc.
And the oil containing CBD is called CBD oil. CBD added to edible oil, simple as that.
Effects of CBD
CBD is promoted as a cure-all compound due to its strong therapeutic powers. But it is necessary to mention that CBD is relatively new in medical science. Only a handful of research has been conducted so far. Thus there is not very much scientific proof to back up the claims. However, CBD is being used on desperate patients, and here is the outcome in short:
Stress and anxiety relief:
CBD helps to manage stress and anxiety. As mentioned above, CBD binds with the CB1 receptors of the ECS and limits the functionality of the receptor. Therefore, lowering stress and anxiety. CBD also improves the symptoms of PTSD and induces sleep in insomnia patients.
Studies on the effect of people suffering from social anxiety also showed positive results.
Neuroprotection:
Although still a work in progress, CBD is believed to have an appreciable impact on neuroprotection. Researchers are figuring out the exact impact of CBD in treating serious diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke. In addition, CBD oil can reduce inflammation caused by both temporary and permanent issues.
Pain relief:
CBD is known to interact with the pain receptors that are found in the brain and help manage pain. Pre-clinical studies sponsored by national institutes of health are targeting the role of Cannabis in reducing the symptoms of cord injuries, muscle pain, multiple sclerosis pain, and arthritis.
Sativex is a drug used to treat multiple sclerosis and is made from a combination of CBD and THC. The results are so promising that the UK and the Canadian government have approved the drug. Researchers believe that the positive effects of this drug on multiple processes are due to the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD rather than the pain-relieving property. However, more clinical studies are required to state it with certainty.
Secondary benefits of CBD:
Besides the stress-relief and anti-inflammatory properties, CBD oil also has a few secondary benefits that are not obvious from Day 1. These benefits are not directly from CBD but rather from the other ingredients present in Full-spectrum CBD oil and broad-spectrum CBD oil.
Other ingredients present in Full-spectrum and Broad-spectrum CBD include,
Omega 3 and Omega 6, and Omega 9
Plant-based protein and fiber
Terpenes
Essential vitamins and minerals.
The intensity of these effects and for how long you will need to use CBD oil to get the benefit is highly variable. Therefore, consistent use is key to getting the desired results.
Focused mind and Sharper memory:
Taking CBD oil consistently helps you have a focused mind and sharper memory.
Improved mood and immunity:
CBD does not directly help in the production of serotonin, the enzyme of happiness, but CBD helps absorb it faster and more efficiently. So, over time, your body will produce more of it since it’s getting absorbed faster. Thus, CBD will increase happiness and improve your mood overall.
The vitamins and minerals that are found in the oil also improve immunity.
Summarize:
CBD oil has a handful of health benefits that will be visible only after using the oil for a while. As mentioned above, it takes time, and the intensity depends on the carrier oil used in CBD oil, as well as the age and physical condition of the user. CBD oil is perfect for long-term consumption since it has few side effects. And you can hardly overdose by accident. You will need to consume it regularly.
