Singer Justin Beiber, who has been diagnosed with Ramsey Hunt Syndrome (RHS), may find CBD beneficial for his symptoms.
While athletes and celebrities alike have praised the use of CBD to relieve everyday aches and pains, this time-tested holistic remedy can also alleviate problems associated with many chronic ailments and diseases.
A key example is Ramsey Hunt syndrome (RHS). Music fans and enthusiasts recently learned that Grammy Award-winning singer Justin Bieber has facial paralysis resulting from RHS, a viral syndrome related to shingles that target the facial nerves.
RHS is known to result from an outbreak of shingles that affects one side of the face, particularly the primary facial nerve between the mouth and the ear. This unforeseen health setback prompted the beloved 28-year-old singer to postpone his long-awaited world tour.
The shingles virus is the same virus that causes chicken pox (also known as herpes zoster). Anyone who had chicken pox as a child almost certainly carries the virus, latent and hidden within their nervous system. Unexpectedly, when we are under intense or prolonged stress or our immune system is weakened, the shingles virus can reawaken and trigger an outbreak.
But the untold truth is this there is no known “cure” for RHS or shingles, similar to the sexually transmitted disease herpes. Therefore, existing medical treatments only treat subjective symptoms and can usually cause side effects.
According to CDC research, one in three people in America they will develop herpes zoster, also called herpes zoster, in their lifetime. Besides, 572,000 new cases from the herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2. All of which cause intense pain and inflammation that negatively affects the productivity of daily life.
Undoubtedly, Bieber’s medical team is treating him with various pharmaceuticals that may not help him recover without side effects. Doctors often try to treat RHS infections with antiviral drugs, but unfortunately, antiviral drugs may not be as effective as desired. Antiviral drugs can also cause serious side effects and prolong recovery, while some patients may feel worse.
Although pharmaceutical companies produce antiviral drugs to treat these diseases, many of them can cause side effects that lead to taking more harmful drugs. Instead, some patients seek alternative remedies, including holistic solutions to manage and restore good health.
A natural alternative to treat RHS is CBD (cannabidiol) oil, derived from the hemp plant. Many RHS patients have found more effective and consistent relief from taking medicinal hemp products: CBD.
A research report published by Dr. Ethan Russo revealed that the main crude biocompounds of CBD had demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety and pain-relieving effects. Since RHS is the result of irritation of tissues affected by the infecting virus, the ability of effective medicinal hemp—CBD to reduce and prevent the symptoms suffered at the cellular and molecular level is effective and well documented.
But there is a difference in the quality of CBD products. Many products are inferior because companies use high temperatures and rapid processing that destroy the living compounds, drastically reducing the medicinal benefits, but companies can still legally call it CBD. In addition, hemp is equally essential. Many agricultural practices use harmful pesticides and harsh chemicals to make hemp grow faster. Using quality seeds and processing makes a big difference.
The quality of the CBD is essential as alternative medicine market expected to reach $405 billion by 2028. So people need reliable products and not the kind of CBD found at your local gas station.
It is widely accepted that the benefits of non-GMO seeds and organic farming practices far outweigh the use of genetically modified (GMO) plants and over-processing methods that use chemicals, pesticides and solvents. For example, similar to overcooking GMO vegetables in high triglyceride oils, the food becomes mushy and many nutrients are lost, but it can still be called a vegetable.
This is because Nesas Hemp’s CBDa oil is derived from non-GMO seeds grown in naturally enriched biological organic soils along with a low temperature extraction process from the hemp plant that delivers the most robust natural compounds to maximize medicinal properties to improve chronic disease, inflammation and pain relief without side effects.
People who suffer from RHS like Justin Bieber, shingles outbreaks on other parts of the body, or various herpes viruses need to understand that the processing and formulation of medicinal hemp products varies widely.
Patients seeking help with CBDa or CBD products to reduce pain, inflammation, and other health issues are encouraged to consult their physician for appropriate product selection, starting doses, and follow-up to customize their holistic path to restore happiness and well-being.
