CBD's Health Benefits

The human body has an endocannabinoid system which helps regulate appetite, energy, balance, metabolism, stress responses, immune functions, the autonomic nervous system, thermo-regulation, sleep, and many other important body systems.

CBD Oil has been shown to have significant health benefits, alleviating or lessening symptoms of several mental health conditions, most notably anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.  

Addiction is defined as a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences. The rewarding stimulus can include cigarettes, alcohol, food, sex, narcotics, gambling, shopping, and smart phones. 

The strong antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective features of Cannabis are of great research interest in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Alzheimers Disease, Parkinsons Disease, and Huntington's Disease.  Cannabis has also been found to reduce or eliminate seizures in some patients with epilepsy.

Autoimmune disorders are the result of an overactive immune system in which the body actually attacks its own cells.  Recents studies suggest that CBD may be useful in treating diseases involving activation of the immune system and associated oxidative stress, including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Psoriasis, and other autoimmune disorders.

Pain is a symptom of many health concerns, and is usually integrally tied to inflammation.  Research into the use of CBD oil for many different types of pain is promising, especially in the areas of migraine, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain of various types.
