What Are The Health Benefits of CBD?

CBD’s Growing Popularity

CBD, or cannabidiol, has become of the one most popular and highly talked about supplemental therapeutics in the wellness, medical, and alternative medicine communities in the last several years. In fact, in 2020 alone, the CBD market nearly crossed $1 Billion dollars, and is anticipated to exceed $5 Billion by 2025. As the growth of CBD takes off, many people are wondering, what are the health benefits of CBD?

CBD is most commonly found as a tincture, infused oil, body salve, capsules, and gummies, though the market is saturated with other products like water and vapes. In this concise article, we will highlight some of the health benefits of CBD.

The Health Benefits of CBD

CBD has been proven to help, without any side effects: 

  • inflammation
  • pain
  • anxiety
  • psychotic behaviors
  • seizures and spasms

Scientific and clinical studies highlight CBD as a potential treatment choice for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, MS, chronic pain, schizophrenia, PTSD, antibiotic-resistant infections, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders. 

CBD has demonstrated neuroprotective and neurogenic qualities.

 
  • As a neuroprotective, CBD serves to protect nerve cells against damage, degeneration, or impairment of function. 
  • As a neurogenic, which arises in the nervous system, its anti-cancer properties are currently being investigated at several academic research centers in the United States and elsewhere.

The endocannabinoid system has broad influence over areas of the brain involved in sensations such as pain perception, movement, emotion, cognition, and sleep. This is likely the reason the endocannabinoid system influences the brain’s health conditions.

For all of the ways the endocannabinoid system can influence brain health, CBD’s interaction with the endocannabinoid system could translate into some very significant health effects, and previously published studies so far offer positive indications.

“More than 90 percent of all noncommunicable diseases of aging are associated with chronic inflammation,” David Furman of Stanford Medical.
