Just in case we need more reasons to love CBD, here below are a few of the most common reasons why people are ditching their pharmaceutical medication in favour of our beloved natural, non-toxic plant. If we all took a dose of CBD every day, it would prevent illness and disease.

It's now been scientifically proven that CBD oil does play an important part in our healing. 

Scientific research now shows the many health benefits of CBD Cannabidiol, a component of marijuana, but it does not produce the psychoactive effects that have made marijuana attractive for recreational use. CBD benefits are real because CBD does produce strong medicinal and therapeutic effects for even the most common conditions.

Digestive Aid

A healthy appetite is vital to a healthy body, especially when the body is healing. Some illnesses decrease the appetite to the point of preventing the body from healing itself. CBD stimulates appetite, according to the National Cancer Institute.

In the human body, CBDs bind to cannabinoid receptors in the body. Scientists believe these receptors play an important role in regulating feeding behaviour. CBD stimulates the appetite when they dock onto these receptors. CBD also eases nausea and vomiting. This is especially helpful for individuals enduring chemotherapy and other treatments for serious diseases.

Analgesic

CBD binds to CB1 receptors in the body to relieve pain. CBD also has an anti-inflammatory effect that reduces swelling.

Anxiety Relief

CBD may alleviate severe social anxiety. Generalised Social Anxiety Disorder, or SAD, is one of the most common forms of anxiety disorders that impair quality of life. Some consumers complain of increased social anxiety after marijuana use, but this may be due to low levels of CBD proportionate to THC levels. In a 2011 study, scientists wanted to study the effects of CBD on people with SAD. The scientists selected 24 people with this condition who had never received treatment for SAD then divided participants into two groups. One group received 600 mg of CBD, while the control group received a placebo. The scientists then asked study participants to participate in a simulated public speaking test while researchers measured blood pressure, heart rate, and other physiological and psychological stress measurements.

The CBD group showed significantly reduced anxiety, cognitive impairment, and discomfort in their speech performance. In comparison, those in the placebo group presented higher anxiety, cognitive impairment, and discomfort. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 15 million adults in the United States have social phobia, and about 6.8 million have a generalised anxiety disorder. Traditional treatment usually involves counselling and medications. Treatment with CBD may be better than anti-depressants because it acts quickly and does not cause side effects or withdrawal symptoms.

Cancer Spread

The National Cancer Institute details several studies into the anti-tumour effects of CBD. One study in mice and rats suggests CBDs “may have a protective effect against the development of certain types of tumours.” CBD may do this by inducing tumour cell death, inhibiting cancer cell growth, and controlling and inhibiting the spread of cancer cells. One study by California Pacific Medical Centre suggests CBD “turns off” the gene involved in the spread of breast cancer.

These scientists found CBD inhibits ID-1, an action that prevents cancer cells from travelling long distances to distant tissues.

Antipsychotic

CBD relieves psychotic symptoms associated with schizophrenia; according to research by the University of Cologne in Germany, Schizophrenia affects about 1,1% of the population or approximately 2.4 million adults in the USA alone.

CBD continues to surprise medical researchers with the variety of common health benefits it provides. An increasing number of scientists, physicians, and consumers learn about these health benefits and incorporate CBD into a healthy lifestyle plan.
