Never tried CBD oil? Here are a few reasons and some of the many benefits why CBD oil may be good alternative for you!

Benefits of CBD Oil

1. Relief From Chronic Pain

People suffering from chronic pain stemming from diseases like fibromyalgia have found relief with CBD. CBD can offer pain relief and in cases can even prevent nervous system degeneration. In Canada, CBD oil has been approved for multiple sclerosis and cancer pain.

A major benefit with CBD is that it doesn’t cause dependence or tolerance, so it’s a great option for those trying to avoid from opioids.

2. Reduces Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, depression affects 6% and anxiety affects 18% of the US population annually. Research has shown that CBD oil can help with both these conditions.

CBD has been shown to reduce levels of anxiety and stress in those suffering from conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, and even PTSD. CBD even reduced the discomfort and stress some people experience with public speaking.

 

3. It Can Fight Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria

Researchers have discovered that cannabinoids (including CBD) have an unusual ability to destroy bacteria (particularly drug-resistant strains). More research is needed to understand exactly how it works.

In 2011, a study found that CBD can also slow the progression of tuberculosis in rats. Researchers concluded that it is likely the CBD does this by inhibiting T-cell proliferation, rather than possessing antibacterial properties.

Whatever the mechanism is for destroying bacteria, CBD seems to be a positive option to combat the antibiotic-resistant “superbugs” we are seeing today.

 

4. Reduces Inflammation

Chronic inflammation contributes to many non-infectious diseases including many cancers, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, autoimmune disease, and more, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

While diet and lifestyle are key components in these diseases, CBD oil can help prevent these conditions. Research has also shown that CBD oil can reduce chronic inflammation that leads to disease.

 

5. Reduces Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress is when there are too many free radical in the body and it can’t keep up with neutralizing them with antioxidants. This has become a problem now more than in the past because our environment is increasingly more toxic than it was in the past.  A 2010 study found that CBD oil can act as an antioxidant and another study found that CBD has neuroprotective qualities. CBD can reduce neurological damage caused by free radicals in our environment.

 

6. Help With Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a serious and complicated degenerative disease typically managed through therapy and pharmaceutical drugs that have hefty side effects. Anecdotally, many people have reported that CBD oil has helped reduce hallucinations. A review conducted in March of 2015 found that CBD was a safe, effective, and tolerated treatment for psychosis. At this time, more research is needed to bring CBD into clinical practice.

 

7. Promote A Healthy Weight

CBD can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and stimulates genes and proteins that help to break down fat as well as increase cellular mitochondria that help burn calories.

CBD has also been found to encourage the body to convert white fat to brown fat. While white fat is denser “storage fat”, brown fat is the healthier fat that actually burns white fat. Brown fat is more metabolically active, creates heat, and can even help regulate blood sugar.

 

8. Benefit Heart Health

Heart disease is the number one leading cause of death in the US.  While a healthy diet and lifestyle are the top influences on heart health, CBD oil has also been found to help. According to research, CDB can reduce artery blockage, blood pressure, and stress-induced cardiovascular response. It may also reduce cholesterol.

As mentioned earlier, CBD oil is helpful in preventing inflammation and oxidative stress, both found to be precursors to heart disease.

 

9. Improves Certain Skin Conditions

CBD oil has been used topically to treat skin conditions. Studies have shown that CBD oil has a high potential to treat skin conditions like eczema by encouraging abnormal cell death. It can also help regulate the skin’s oil production and help reduce acne. CBD also contains nutrients, including vitamin E, that help protect the skin and improve its appearance.

 

10. Help Fight Cancer

CBD oil’s role in cancer treatment is still pending more research but has shown promising results thus far. According to American Cancer Society tests in animals, CBD oil can slow growth and spread of some kinds of cancer. Because it combats oxidative stress and inflammation (both have been linked to increased incidence of cancer) it makes sense that CBD oil can help fight cancer cells.
