If so, please read on while for some welcome information on a relatively new naturally occurring remedy that is making its way into health and wellness stores. An increasing number of scientific case studies are showing positive results regarding the treatment of a wide range of illnesses. The focus of this article is a naturally occurring substance called CBD oil.
What Is CBD Oil?
CBD is one of over one hundred chemical compounds found in the host Cannabis plant, but unlike its more infamous brother compound, THC, it does not contain any psychoactive elements which give you the sensation of getting high. The use of CBD is now increasing, as is the number of available products that contain CBD. Once extracted, it is mixed with a plant oil such as Palm oil to form the end product; it is then used as the primary ingredient in edibles, balms, or lotions and CBD vape liquids.
Who Can Benefit from Using CBD Oil?
Medical studies continue to show an increasing amount of data that CBD oil is helpful to a wide range of illnesses and mental health disorders. This is due to CBD’s effect on the body’s neurotransmitters that interact with the brain when a person is in pain. The following list is by no means complete, so further investigation online is recommended to gain additional information. Among those who might find relief is –
- Chronic pain sufferers with back pain, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.
- People with mental health disorders such as anxiety, insomnia, or depression.
- Those with Epilepsy or other neurological disorders.
- Cancer Patients – an easing of side effects and symptoms may be possible.
- Sufferers from high blood pressure.
- Patients who are undergoing substance abuse treatments.
Are There Any Side Effects?
When starting out, the recommendation is to begin with a low dosage and work upward if appropriate. Some users may experience some adverse side effects that can include diarrhoea, fatigue and possibly changes in appetite. It is also important to always speak with a medical professional if you are already taking prescription medication; there may be a chance that CBD oil could interact with what you are already taking.
Vaping and CBD oil
Vaping suppliers now stock a range of CBD oil products in the form of e-liquids with the same tasty flavours as regular vape liquids. The CBD oil used in e-liquids comes in two different forms; Isolate contains only CBD with all the other compounds of the host plant removed, whereas Distillate is what is also called full-spectrum CBD and has all the compounds except for THC. The differences between the two aren’t yet fully understood, and the consensus is that it comes down to personal preference.
The use of CBD oil is like vaping on the rise, if this article has opened your eyes to the possibility of bringing some relief to you or someone you know, it will have done its work.
