August 8, 2022, 1:00 p.m
Cannabidiol is found in the cannabis plant.
Observed on August 8 each year, National CBD Day aims to raise awareness of the power, use and effectiveness of a hemp-based compound called cannabidiol.
Discovered in 1940, cannabidiol is one of 113 identified cannabinoids found in the plant, Cannabis sativa.
Cannabidiol is known to relieve pain and anxiety and is also effective for cognitive and movement disorders.
According to several studies, CBD oil helps relieve chronic pain by reducing inflammation, interacting with neurotransmitters, and affecting the activity of endocannabinoid receptors.
Some research also showed that CBD can reduce back, nerve and arthritis pain.
In a four-week trial, patients who had nerve damage in the lower half of their body reported a reduction in severe pain after using CBD oil topically.
Helps with anxiety and depression
CBD oil is very effective in treating mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression by changing the way receptors in the brain respond to a chemical called serotonin that is linked to mental health.
It can also safely treat insomnia and anxiety in children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
According to a 2019 study, CBD also decreases PTSD-related symptoms, such as nightmares, in adults.
It has neuroprotective properties
CBD oil offers neuroprotective properties for various neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of CBD give it neuroprotective effects.
According to one study, 214 people with severe epilepsy who received 0.9-2.3 grams of CBD oil per pound of body weight reported a decrease in seizures by an average of 36.5%.
CBD oil can help control high blood pressure and prevent health conditions such as heart attack, stroke, and metabolic syndrome.
According to one study, 26 healthy men who were treated with 600 milligrams of CBD oil for one week noticed a significant short-term reduction in blood pressure compared to a placebo group.
According to the research, CBD also reduced arterial stiffness.
According to several studies, CBD helped prevent the growth of cancer cells.
The National Cancer Institute stated that CBD can help alleviate the side effects of cancer treatment and the symptoms of cancer through its ability to change the way cells reproduce.
According to one study, 177 people with cancer-related pain experienced a significant reduction in pain after being treated with an extract containing CBD and THC.
