The Importance Of CBD - How It Will Enrich A Person's Life?




We all heard about CBD and its importance, so in order to know the benefits of CBD let's explain more about the CBD main source.

CBD is the medical abbreviation for cannabidiol, one of the primary active compounds, or cannabinoids, found in cannabis plants, which means experts can extract it from either hemp or marijuana. Unlike its counterpart THC which is other naturally occurring compound in the cannabis plant CBD does not stimulate euphoria or make you “high”, but does have a wide of other purported effects making it very popular and  may provide a variety of benefits by positively impacting the endocannabinoid system (ESC).

The Endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a major role in balancing our bodies’ most important functions from sleep, to mood, to appetite, to bowel movements, and more.
Your body naturally produces its own endocannabinoids to support this system, but just like with any other nutrient, we can have a deficiency and may need extra support. This is where cannabis comes in. The cannabis plant produces phytocannabinoids that also interact with your endocannabinoid system.

CBD is thought to interact with CB1 and CB2 receptors. These receptors are mostly found in the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, GI and circulatory system.
The exact way CBD affects CB1 receptors in the brain isn’t fully understood. However, it may alter serotonin signals.

Serotonin, a neurotransmitter, plays an important role in your mental health. Low serotonin levels are commonly associated with people who have depression. In some cases, not having enough serotonin may also cause anxiety.

According to the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, the most common uses of CBD are in the treatment of anxiety, schizophrenia, nausea, vomiting, inflammation, epilepsy it is also marketed to promote sleep.

More than 60 percent of CBD users were taking it for anxiety, according to a survey of 5,000 people.
And according to The New York Times, The CBD industry is flourishing, conservatively projected to hit $16 billion in the United States by 2025.

But the question is:

Does CBD really work?

There is a general lack of studies about that and the scientific research into how CBD works is still quite limited.

More than half of the CBD users said they use it to relax. Half reported using it to reduce stress and anxiety, and the proportions of people who use CBD to improve their sleep and relieve pain (including muscle, chronic, and joint pain) were not far behind. Also on the list were relief from migraines, menstrual symptoms, nausea, and sexual enhancement.
And here are some proven facts about CBD uses:

CBD & Anxiety

A small study in 2010 showed that CBD helped alleviate symptoms related to social anxiety disorder (SAD). Brain scans showed changes in blood flow to the areas of the brain related to anxiety.
A double-blind randomized study in 2011 also showed that CBD helped those with social anxiety disorder. Those with SAD were given CBD before a simulation public speaking test. From the study:
Pretreatment with CBD significantly reduced anxiety, cognitive impairment and discomfort in their speech performance, and significantly decreased alert in their anticipatory speech.
After using CBD, the SAD group had anxiety levels similar to the healthy control group.


CBD for treating neurological disorders

Epilepsy
A 2018 study showed that CBD treatment “resulted in greater reductions in the frequency of drop seizures than placebo” for patients suffering from a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

Parkinson’s disease
A small study in 2008 found that CBD helped lessen psychotic symptoms sometimes associated with Parkinson’s disease, also some early research shows that taking cannabidiol daily for 4 weeks improves psychotic symptoms in people with Parkinson disease and psychosis
