CBD stands for Cannabidiol, which is a compound found in the flowers of cannabis plants. It is different from THC found in the same plant and have less intoxicating properties. It doesn’t make a person feel stoned or high like the ones feel while taking THC. Instead, CBD can lower or neutralize the psychoactive effects of THC.
CBD has several therapeutic properties and is used in solving a lot of problems which is why it is gaining popularity amongst the people. It can easily be taken in the form of CBD oil which makes it easier for those who are trying cannabis for the first time as a treatment.
Here are some of the advantages of using CBD Oil:
Dealing with anxiety issues
Anxiety and depression are the most common issues faced by most of the people. One natural method is meditation, but people are less interested in it or doesn’t have time for it. Doctors prescribe drugs to minimize anxiety issues, but they end up creating side effects on the body.
It has been proved that CBD oil [1] can reduce anxiety and depression levels to a greater extent without any potential side effects.
For acne treatment
Acne is another common skin problem faced by many people. Various reasons contribute to this condition. Bacteria, genetics, excess oil production by glands and excess production of sebum are some of the causes.
In the tests conducted, CBD oil was able to treat the acne condition successfully. It controls and prevents the excess production of sebum which prevents acne.
Pain reliever
Chronic pain is a nightmare. For those who don’t know about it, pain which lasts for more than a year in any part of the human body is said to be chronic pain. There are a lot of reasons why chronic pain persists in the first place. Injuries, health problems like lack of sleep, fatigue also result in the pain.
CBD oil is effective in reducing the pain to a great extent. It is tested on volunteers and works as promised. The dosage differs with the amount of pain people suffer with. Consult a doctor before buying the CBD oil.
Helpful in quitting smoking
We feel happy in special moments like talking with friends, trips, eating favorite foods, etc. Happy hormones like dopamine, endorphins are released with the activities. But they get reabsorbed by the body after some time. That is the reason our mental state comes back to normal after some time of the events.
Whereas when people smoke or do drugs, the hormones released by the body will take more time to get re-absorbed. That’s why it is tough to come out of the addiction to smoking and drugs.
As CBD is one of the compounds of cannabis plant, you will get the pleasure feel (release of happy hormones) by consuming it. But it does not lead to addiction, like drugs. People who want to quit can intake CBD oil and slowly reduce smoking. So, you are getting that “high” feel with CBD oil without any addictive behavior.
Conclusion
CBD oil is also good for the heart and works well against cancer. Research is going on to find out more benefits of CBD. Although CBD oil has a lot of advantages, it may result in side effects in some people based on their health condition. It is always better to consult a doctor before taking CBD oil.
