What can I use CBD Oil for?

What can I use CBD Oil for? There are host of benefits to using CBD Oil. In this feature we will list some of them.

Anxiety and stress relief

CBD may be able to help you manage anxiety. It is believed that it may change the way your brain reacts to serotonin, a chemical linked to mental health.

One study found that a 600mg dose of CBD helped people with social anxiety give a speech. Other studies indicate that it may help relieve anxiety by:

• reducing stress
• decreasing physiological effects of anxiety, such as an increased heart rate
• improving symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• inducing sleep in cases of insomnia

Anti-seizure

CBD has been suggested as a possible treatment for epilepsy. Researchers are testing how much CBD is able to reduce the number of seizures in people with epilepsy, as well as how safe it is.

Neuroprotective

Researchers are looking at a receptor located in the brain to learn about the ways that CBD could help people with neurodegenerative disorders, which are diseases that cause the brain and nerves to deteriorate over time. This includes research on how CBD Oil may possibly benefit people with:

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Parkinson’s disease
• Strokes

CBD oil may also reduce the inflammation that can make neurodegenerative symptoms worse. However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of CBD oil for neurodegenerative diseases.

Pain relief

The effects of CBD oil on your brain’s receptors could also help you manage pain. Studies have shown that cannabis can offer some benefits when taken after chemotherapy treatments. It may relieve symptoms caused by:

• Arthritis
• Chronic pain
• MS pain
• Musle pain
• Spinal cord injuries

Anti-acne

The effects of CBD on receptors in the immune system may help reduce overall inflammation in the body. In turn, CBD oil may offer benefits for acne management. A research study found that the oil prevented activity in sebaceous glands. These glands are responsible for producing sebum, a natural oily substance that hydrates the skin. Too much sebum, however, can lead to acne.

Before you consider CBD oil for acne treatment, it’s worth discussing it with your dermatologist.

Cancer treatment

Some studies have investigated the role of CBD in preventing cancer cell growth, but research is still in its early stages. CBD potentially has the effect of reducing the ability of some types of tumor cells to reproduce.
