The list goes on for the benefits of taking CBD, but did you know that CBD may also be effective management for chronic illness and pain?

Growing research shows exciting prospects for CBD on our health; not only for use on anxiety and sleep, but also for incurable illnesses!

Let’s explore some of the ways CBD has the potential to help- whether it’s you, a loved one, or perhaps you just want to know more.

1.    REDUCING INFLAMMATION AND PAIN IN CHRONIC ILLNESS

CBD (Cannabidiol) is a compound called a cannabinoid.

According to research, cannabinoids play a role in regulating the immune system and also have the ability to suppress inflammatory responses, which can help improve inflammation and reduce pain. [1]

This is promising for diseases and illnesses connected to inflammation.

As humans, we have cannabinoid receptors everywhere in our body, which means we have them in our stomachs!

According to some studies, CBD can potentially help improve digestive issues such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), relieving symptoms of inflammation.

Because the hemp plant (where CBD is extracted from) contains fibers, oils, and bioactive compounds, it is thought that CBD may also be a ‘candidate’ for human nutrition, without the THC. [2] Good news for anyone suffering from IBS!

Research has also been conducted into CBD and joint pain such as arthritis; though results are limited, some animal studies show anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. [3]

There is also limited evidence to suggest humans using CBD reported pain relief and improved symptoms of arthritis, according to the Arthritis Foundation.

Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a chronic pain condition.

With evidence supporting pain reduction in those supplementing with CBD, it could be good news for anyone suffering from FMS, too.

Some work has been done into CBD also reducing glial cell activity, which, when overactive, means enhanced sensation in the body- a main symptom of FMS.

And it doesn’t stop there!

According to the Alzheimer’s Society, some improvement has been found in behaviors associated with Dementia, such as anxiety and agitation, when treated with CBD. There were even indications of reduced inflammation in the brain- though studies are still limited.

When treating mice, the use of CBD indicated a reduction in amyloid (protein build-up) in the brain- a key marker of Dementia.

2.    ANTI-SEIZURE PROPERTIES

In 2018 the FDA approved Epidiolex medication, containing a purified form of CBD, to treat two severe paediatric seizure disorders - Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome.

This has been proved to relieve seizures experienced by children with the condition.[4]

Although much of the research into how CBD can help epilepsy is still mostly animal-based, there are some successful cases of reducing seizures and helping to improve symptoms of epilepsy in children.[5]

3.    MOOD DISORDER AND ANTI-PSYCHOTIC PROPERTIES

CBD is a promising new therapy for treating conditions such as schizophrenia and other mood disorders.

The plant-derived cannabinoid CBD has been shown in some studies to counteract psychotic symptoms and cognitive impairment, due to its effect on receptor activity in the endocannabinoid system (a system in our body that regulates functions such as metabolism and immunity.) [6]

4.    NEUROPROTECTIVE PROPERTIES

Research is still being conducted into how CBD might interact with CB1 receptors (found in the central nervous system) and CB2 receptors (found in the peripheral tissues), which might help those suffering from neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease, MS, and Alzheimer’s.

In the case of Parkinson’s, studies have found that CBD might be highly effective as a neuroprotective compound, whilst aiding symptoms associated with the disease, such as psychosis, tremor, and depression.[7]

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system.

Symptoms of MS include inflammation, pain, and muscle spasticity; CBD might be of some use to anyone with MS, due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative qualities.

This could supplement to reduce fatigue, pain, and spasms, experienced by MS patients.[8]

5.    CBD AND CANCER

Though there isn’t currently enough decisive research, there is some exploratory research into CBD and its anticancer potential, by ‘interfering’ with the tumor development process, including inhibiting spread and growth.

There is also evidence to suggest CBD might help to manage symptoms of the disease and effects of treatment, including nausea and pain.

There is even some promising evidence to suggest cannabinol receptors have been identified in pancreatic cancer, which means CBD could potentially help to prevent development of the disease down the line.[9]

And this is just the beginning.

Whilst we still have a long way to go, there is so much promising evidence to suggest CBD could be a game-changer in the health industry.
