CBD has proven itself useful in treating anxiety, insomnia, pain and certain forms of cancer; however, clinical trials remain limited.
Research suggests CBD may help manage drug cravings for those struggling with addictions. One study found former heroin users who took CBD experienced a two to three fold reduction in drug cravings.
Choosing a CBD Oil
CBD helps ease neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, which in turn eases various symptoms. Studies also indicate that CBD can significantly decrease seizures in animal models of epilepsy – including both frequency and duration – (Grayson et al., 2022); furthermore it may act through non-CB1 and CB2 receptors to modulate neuronal hyperexcitability while simultaneously decreasing anxiety using elevated plus maze, Y-maze, and Vogel conflict tests (Moreira et al., 2009; Gomes et al., 2011).
CBD may help relieve inflammation and nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) by engaging with neurons to inhibit pain signals. More research needs to be conducted in order to establish its effects for treating specific conditions like multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. When choosing your brand, look for one which uses CO2 extraction for contaminants removal as well as third-party lab testing on all their products; start out small before increasing dosage depending on how you feel.
Anxiety & Nausea
Anxiety can trigger many physical symptoms, including nausea. Anxiety-related nausea often manifests itself with a queasy stomach feeling or feeling as though on the verge of vomiting; it may also have effects on gut microbiota and muscle tension. Anxiety-induced nausea usually subsides once its source has been addressed or stress levels decrease through therapy, mindfulness techniques, or self-care methods.
If you’re dealing with anxiety or chronic digestive disorders, speaking to a medical professional before beginning CBD is vital in order to determine if it will be safe and suitable for your unique circumstances. AMFM’s residential programs address both psychological and physical manifestations of anxiety including nausea using evidence-based therapies like CBT/DBT as well as holistic approaches such as body scanning and somatic therapy.
Insomnia & Sleep
Lack of sleep can result in memory and learning challenges, an increase in stress hormone production, an inability to focus or make decisions, mood shifts and even heart disease, type 2 diabetes or hypertension risks. Insomnia increases these risks significantly.
Adults typically need seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Although insomnia may arise occasionally due to stressful events or illness, for some it persists for over three nights a week over an extended period.
Indisinua can be defined by difficulty falling and staying asleep, often caused by anxiety, a busy mind, physical discomfort, poor sleeping habits, medical conditions or mental health conditions. Other symptoms of insomnia may include waking too early in the morning, feeling exhausted when trying to fall back asleep quickly enough or having difficulties daytime functioning.
Pain & Anxiety
CBD oil can help many manage both pain and anxiety more effectively, yet it shouldn’t be seen as a cure for either condition; nor as a replacement for current medications (it could interact with certain ones); always consult your clinician prior to beginning use of supplements like CBD.
Anxiety often plays a part in pain, as stress hormone levels rise and trigger chemical responses within the body that heighten sensations of discomfort. Unfortunately, this cycle can be hard to break free from.
According to research, CBD may help alleviate anxiety associated with chronic pain. Furthermore, it could possibly treat other symptoms associated with painful medical conditions, including nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy; however more clinical studies need to be conducted before conclusively establishing these results.
