Okay, first of all, what is CBD oil? To answer this question, let me first explain what CBD is not. CBD oil is not psychoactive, as it contains .3% or less of THC, making it have the benefits of medicinal marijuana without the high. It's also not the same as hemp oil.
CBD oil stands for cannabidiol, and cannabinoids are chemical plant compounds found in the plants of the cannabis family. They work in the same body as the endocannabinoid produced in your body. Yes, you heard that right, you actually have an endocannabinoid system of your very own! Did you know that? Leave a comment below if this is new (or old!) news to you.
Now, the thing is that sometimes your endocannabinoid system, or ACS for short, isn't functioning at optimal levels. But no worries, because that's where CBD oil benefits come into play.
There are countless benefits to CBD oil to discuss, but for the sake of this video, we're going to break them down into seven categories. So here are the seven top benefits of CBD oil, all backed by research.
- CBD can be used for pain and inflammation relief. Probably one of the more well-known CBD oil benefits is that it can be used in a natural way to ease mild, occasional pain and inflammation. In fact, research suggests that CBD oil may be able to suppress inflammation.
- CBD oil can benefit mood and psychiatric disorders. A study conducted in 2011 states that ECS abnormalities were found during autopsies of people who had died suffering from depression, schizophrenia, and suicide. Researchers conducting this study concluded that current research is limited and more clinical trials are needed, but still, it's an interesting finding.
- CBD oil can reduce anxiety. There are numerous studies supporting CBD oil as a treatment for anxiety. Not only does CBD have the ability to reduce anxiety and cognitive impairment, but it also increases mental performance.
- CBD supports immune system regulation. One of the functions of the ECS is to regulate the overall function of the immune system. Specifically, CBD helps boost immunity by decreasing inflammation in the body and improving communication pathways between the brain and the immune system.
- CBD oil can help prevent cancer. Sometimes the body's signals go haywire, and the wrong cells live and die. Early research has shown that CBD oil triggers apoptosis, aka cell destruction, which means it can kill cell mutations responsible for cancer.
- The treatment of neurological disorders, including seizures. A study released by the American Epilepsy Society found that CBD was effective in reducing the frequency and severity of seizures in both children and adults. This is because cannabis has neuroprotective benefits that support the health of the brain, spinal cord and nerves.
- CBD oil can slow aging and age-related disease. It is believe that CBD has the ability to inhibit inflammation and also plays a role in the modulation of free radicals. This means it can slow down the aging process.
