Despite the inconveniences of inflammation, it is a normal, healthy process for the body when we sustain an injury or germs attack us. Inflammation can be in the form of swelling, redness, or pain. When we experience inflammation, we can be sure that our body is acting to heal its injuries. So, inflammation can actually be a healthy response in our bodies, while also being a factor in many chronic health issues..
However, inflammation is the root of many chronic health conditions. It’s also related to autoimmunity diseases. In these instances, inflammation is not a good thing. In fact, it can be destructive, in which the immunity system mistakenly targets the body’s own tissues in type 1 diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis, which are autoimmune diseases.
Research has recently found a successful role for cannabidiol (CBD) in treating inflammation. CBD is a non-psychotropic cannabinoid constituent of Cannabis sativa. CBD carries potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, translating to anti-inflammatory effects. These effects provide great hope to those suffering from conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, caused by inflammation in the central nervous system.
CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients of cannabis (marijuana). While CBD is an essential component of medical marijuana, it is derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the marijuana plant. While CBD is a component of marijuana (one of hundreds), by itself it does not cause a “high.” According to a report from the World Health Organization, In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential…. To date, there is no evidence of public health related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.
CBD may also treat oxidative stress-related issues with some success. In fact, the following conditions are affected by oxidative stress and may therefore benefit from CBD: rheumatoid arthritis, types 1 and 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer disease, hypertension, the metabolic syndrome, ischemia-reperfusion injury, depression, and neuropathic pain. Imagine the potential for CBD in treating these myriad conditions.
Finally, long-term chronic inflammation is a serious health concern. It can cause long-term organ damage, resulting in health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, respiratory disease, and joint pain, among many others. CBD may also be a non-pharmaceutical approach in treating these conditions, so the treatment’s potential to improve the lives and conditions of its sufferers in a natural and healthy way warrants special consideration.
I have heard of cannabidiol (CBD) helping both people and animals with inflammation issues. There are many benefits to it, thanks for sharing!
It had a tremendous positive effect on my mother’s vascular dementia.
Since I started taking water soluble BioCBDplus, I have seen some major positive changes in my body and mindset. It helps me to feel relaxed in the evening after a hard day of work. I can feel the reduction in inflammation in my body… and the biggest factor has been that it helped me reduce brain fog I didn?t even know I had. I?m now more productive and relaxed throughout the day. – Carl
