Benefits of CBD

CBD is advertised as providing relief for anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, but it is most commonly used to treat chronic pain, anxiety, inflammation, and insomnia.

CBD-specific treatments are fairly new, despite the fact that cannabis has been used for its therapeutic qualities for thousands of years. Around 2009, a group of CBD-rich strains of cannabis gained notoriety because of their incredible anti-convulsion properties and ability to treat severe forms of epilepsy. Continued research showed CBD-based products were effective in treating chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis and Crohn’s disease, as well as providing immediate relief for patients suffering from anxiety, depression, and even some forms of psychosis.

In the last few years, CBD has proven to be a low-risk treatment for patients of all ages and stages of well-being. Children suffering from debilitating seizures, elderly patients struggling with dementia, and cancer patients living with chronic pain all benefit from the many therapeutic properties of CBD. With the discovery of this non-psychoactive cannabinoid, many find that they are less worried about the side effects and the stigma associated with traditional marijuana treatments and getting high.
