Osteoarthritis: CBD to treat this joint disease
Knowing how to recognize osteoarthritis
In France, osteoarthritis is very widespread and approximately ten million people suffer from it. Mainstream medicine encounters real complications when dealing with osteoarthritis because it is unable to treat this disease which is so widespread among the population.
1. What is osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a progressive deterioration of the cartilage positioned between the joints, which occurs very often as we age. Patients with this disease suffer from chronic paralyzing pain and have real complications in moving and moving their limbs. The joints affected by osteoarthritis are regularly inflamed. As the cartilage gradually deteriorates until the bones rub against each other, very strong pain can be felt. The cartilage can even disappear and this is likely to cause a total blockage of the affected joint.
2. What can cause osteoarthritis?
Age is not the only reason for the onset of this disease. We can also mention intense sports practice, obesity in overweight people or simply a growth or anatomical abnormality.
3. What treatments are available to relieve osteoarthritis?
Treatments administered by conventional medicine help with pain at the moment but unfortunately have very significant side effects. More and more patients affected by this pathology are turning to natural and alternative treatments to conventional medicine in order to cope with the pain generated by osteoarthritis. The consumption of cannabidiol is a more than conclusive solution since it is natural and greatly improves the daily lives of patients thanks to its many virtues, in particular its anti-inflammatory properties.
How does CBD work on osteoarthritis?
CBD to combat pain but also other cannabinoids (such as CBG or CBN for example) are increasingly being highlighted and recognized. All over the world, therapeutic hemp crops are therefore being developed to meet the needs of the population regarding the treatment of pain.
1. Study of CBD to treat osteoarthritis
Studies have been conducted on osteoarthritis to correlate the reduction of pain with the action of CBD. In a very concrete study, rheumatologist researchers intentionally caused osteoarthritis in rats in order to analyze the effects of cannabidiol.
This research has highlighted the fact that CBD has a dual effect on the pathology of osteoarthritis. Firstly, cannabidiol clearly reduces the perception of pain thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties and the action it has on the endocannabinoid system (activation of CB1 and CB2 receptors). A reduction in the perception of pain has therefore been highlighted and this is excellent news for future patients. Secondly, it seems that CBD has a long-term interest. Indeed, it would prevent the development of joint neuropathies, thus avoiding future osteoarthritis problems.
There are still too few studies to support the fact that CBD or cannabinoids in general can be used as medicinal treatments. CBD and cannabinoids are therefore for the moment all considered as simple food supplements.
There is good news despite everything! All the research carried out has very similar results with regard to CBD. First, CBD provides a preventive action to avoid certain pathologies linked to rheumatism. Second, the therapeutic action of cannabidiol effectively reduces the pain linked to these types of diseases thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.
2. Findings of CBD on osteoarthritis
The lack of scientific data prevents doctors from prescribing exclusive treatments to patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatism-related diseases. Despite this, the CBD market is now open and offers a very large selection of products containing cannabinoids. Patients who consume CBD (cannabidiol) already provide very positive feedback on the improvement of their daily lives.
Remember that depending on the person with osteoarthritis, the pain can vary and the effects of CBD can be felt more or less. First of all, we must emphasize a healthy and balanced diet and remember that pain also decreases with rest.
Which CBD to soothe osteoarthritis?
Today, CBD cannot replace a common medical treatment prescribed by your doctor. On the other hand, it is a very good food supplement that can be an alternative to conventional medications. If you are currently undergoing treatment, it is imperative to consult and seek advice from your doctor before consuming CBD to avoid any drug interactions.
Using CBD oils can be very effective in combating pain attacks related to osteoarthritis. A local application can be beneficial for this pathology by simply putting a few drops in the hand and slowly massaging the painful area. Oral or sublingual intake is also recommended with regular intake over time (every day) and at fixed times.
As mentioned above, there is no exact recommended dose for taking CBD because the dosages vary depending on the person. Criteria must be taken into account such as your habits or not of CBD consumption, or even your corpulence and obviously the extent of your pain. Each person must therefore logically start with a fairly small quantity and increase gradually until they find the result that suits them to relieve their pain related to osteoarthritis or other rheumatological diseases.
