Uses of CBD Oil
How to use CBD Oil
CBD oil is obtained from hemp, it is not psychoactive, it is legal in Spain and has a long list of therapeutic and preventive indications.
THE MAIN PROVEN INDICATIONS OF CBD OIL
Marijuana Cannabis sativa is a very complex plant, with active principles that act in synergy. The most characteristic are its 104 cannabinoids, compounds belonging to the terpenophenol family.
Strain these molecules, the most prominent from the therapeutic point of view are THC or tetrahydrocannabinol and CBD or cannabidol. THC has psychoactive effects and CBD does not.
CBD is not a miracle product, although the hype from some marketers may lead one to think so.
By itself it cannot and does not cure all diseases. However, it has a wide spectrum of indications where it can play a complementary role as an effective natural therapy with few or no side effects.
The plant's efficacy is explained by the existence in the human body of an "endocannabinoid system" , made up of neurotransmitter substances - such as serotonin or anandamide - and its cellular receptors that regulate a variety of functions, such as sleep, appetite , pain or immune response.
Therefore, CBD works almost as naturally as a substance secreted by the body itself.
CBD OIL CAN HELP WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS
CBD inhibits nerve signal transmission and modulates the action of various neurotransmitters. These properties explain one of the most popular uses for CBD: relieving stress and depression.
Its effects are similar in effectiveness to those of anti-anxiety medications or antidepressants, but without their side effects.
In the realm of mental and emotional imbalances there are several precise indications for CBD.
EPILEPSY AND SOCIAL PHOBIA
One of them is epilepsy, as it has been shown to reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures.
Another indication is social phobia . A study published in 2017 by the University of São Paulo (Brazil) determined that CBD reduces anxiety in patients who feel disgusted or afraid in social situations, such as speaking in public.
In a study conducted at the University of Colorado (United States), CBD oil was used with children to treat insomnia and anxiety due to post-traumatic stress.
A review published in the Schizophrenia Bulletin also suggests that CBD may produce beneficial effects in patients with early psychosis.
AGAINST ADDICTIONS AND NEURDEGENERATIVE DISEASES
Addiction treatment is another indication, according to Yasmin Hurd, a neuroscientist and director of the Addiction Institute at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, as it helps to exert more control over compulsive cravings.
There are also studies that show the ability of cannabidiol to delay the progression of Alzheimer's and even to prevent this devastating disease.
