Complete list of cannabidiol effects

Cannabidiol and anti-inflammatory effects

Nowadays, the relief of chronic pain is most often achieved by taking opiate-based medications (which are derivatives of opium). Today, it has become commonplace to prescribe this type of medication and the effectiveness provided by them is no longer in doubt. The problem comes from the side effects linked to taking these opiates. To begin with, an addiction to this type of treatment is too often mentioned. Then, you can have a lot of physical damage accompanied by a reduced immune system as well as nausea. A cocktail of effects that is not at all good for the body when basically, we are talking about healing ourselves. Cannabidiol has anti-inflammatory effects and can therefore be used to treat various pathologies, such as Crohn's disease for example, or fibromyalgia, migraines, menstruation, multiple sclerosis, rheumatism or muscle pain.

Cannabidiol and anxiolytic effects

To help regulate behavior and mood, and depending on the person, the body produces more or less of the serotonin molecule thanks to neurotransmitters. This is a key factor in the role of mental health in humans. A study on animals was conducted and the result is astonishing: CBD influences the brain receptors that activate the production of serotonin. Other studies prove that cannabidiol has positive effects on the interaction of the parts of the brain that act on stress. Taking cannabidiol and its anxiolytic effects allow people suffering from stress in general, or even post-traumatic stress or insomnia to live better. To push on the same subject, it has been reported that cannabidiol has effects to help in the fight against anxiety disorders, bipolar and schizophrenic pathologies as well as depression. CBD can indeed limit the negative effects of these different disorders.

Cannabidiol and antiepileptic effects

On many occasions, cannabidiol has been highlighted on television or in newspapers for its antiepileptic properties. More and more studies are being conducted around the world concerning the effects of cannabidiol on epileptic seizures. The results are clearly there. A decrease of more than 50% on average is observed in patients. Obviously, an improvement in the overall quality of life of patients is also observed thanks to the reduction of seizures, a much higher quality of sleep and a better mood. It is truly a godsend for patients that cannabidiol has such beneficial effects.

Cannabidiol and anti-cancer effects

The effects of cannabidiol are very promising in research to fight cancer. Since the 1970s, many studies have been conducted on CBD and also THC and it would seem that cannabinoids would freeze the multiplication of tumors and cancer cells. Several cancers have been observed in order to be able to realize the potential of cannabis on the influence of cancerous propagation and cannabidiol would therefore have at least antitumor effects. The effects of cannabidiol can also help to soothe the problems related to chemotherapy and drug treatments which are often very heavy for human beings. Pain, anxiety, but also vomiting and insomnia are very common when a person with cancer goes through chemotherapy. CBD helps to reduce these various unwanted side effects. However, let's remember one rule: before consuming cannabidiol, always ask your doctor for advice, especially if you are following medication, because there may be incompatibilities or drug interactions.

Cannabidiol: antioxidant and neuroprotective effects

Every human being, but also some animals, have what is called an endocannabinoid system in the body. The receptors of this system are called CB1 and CB2, and it is the CB1 receptor that has been highlighted for its beneficial involvement in the protection of neurodegenerative diseases. Cannabidiol has properties that can activate these receptors, which is good news. Several diseases on which CBD has beneficial benefits have been listed: such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease as well as mad cow disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis or even strokes (cerebrovascular accidents). Cannabidiol would also have positive effects on animals suffering from Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, by reversing cognitive functions.

Cannabidiol and effects on skin problems

For skin problems, two effects of cannabidiol are highlighted: the anti-inflammatory benefits and the antioxidant benefits. The anti-inflammatory properties of cannabidiol promote an overall reduction in the production of lipids in the body, which causes a natural regulation of sebum. The antioxidant properties of cannabidiol help protect the epidermis from environmental stresses caused by pollution, for example. You can easily solve your skin problems with CBD, whether it is dry skin or acne. CBD cosmetics will also allow you to reduce or even eliminate problems such as eczema or psoriasis.
