A natural substance from cannabis and hemp — without the high.
CBD is an abbreviation for cannabinoid. Cannabinoid is a natural substance found in cannabis, also known as marijuana, and also in hemp plants. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis, which means it causes the sensation of getting high that's often associated with cannabis. Unlike its cousin THC, CBD is not intoxicating or psychoactive. CBD can be used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, inflammation, migraines, epilepsy, autoimmune diseases, depression, and anxiety. CBD is being studied as a treatment for a wide range of conditions, including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Cannabidiol is a popular natural remedy used for many common ailments.
These qualities makes CBD an appealing option for those who are looking for relief from pain and other symptoms without the mind-altering effects of cannabis or other side effects related to some pharmaceutical drugs.
The human body contains a specialized system called the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in regulating a variety of functions, including sleep, appetite, pain sensation, and immune system response. Studies have shown that CBD may help reduce chronic pain by affecting endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation, and interacting with neurotransmitters.
Anxiety disorders and other mental health disorders can have devastating impacts on overall health and well-being. In a Brazilian study, 57 men received either oral CBD or a placebo 90 minutes before a simulated public speaking test — the researchers found that a 300-mg dose of CBD was the most effective at significantly reducing anxiety during the test.
CBD oil has been used to safely treat insomnia and anxiety in children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A small 2019 study also found that CBD was effective for reducing PTSD-related symptoms, including nightmares, in adults.
Areas of promising research
- Neurological disorders — reducing spasms in 75% of 276 people with MS resistant to medications
- Blood pressure — a small study of 9 healthy men treated with 600 mg CBD oil showed reduced resting blood pressure vs. placebo
- Sleep and anxiety — in a Permanente Journal study of 72 adults, anxiety scores decreased in 79% and sleep improved in 66%
High blood pressure is linked to higher risks of stroke, heart attack, and metabolic syndrome. Studies indicate that CBD may be beneficial for people with high blood pressure — a small study of 9 healthy men treated with 600 mg of CBD oil showed reduced resting blood pressure compared with a placebo.
Researchers discovered that the endocannabinoid system plays a role in maintaining certain body functions, such as mood, appetite, sleep, and regulating circadian rhythms. In a study published in the Permanente Journal, 72 adults with anxiety and poor sleep were given 25 mg of CBD in capsule form. After the first month, anxiety scores decreased in 79 percent of the people and sleep scores improved in 66 percent of participants.
