Cannabidiol (CBD) is a powerful natural compound that plays an important role in treating various pathologies without causing harmful side effects (memory loss, anxiety). This, for example, is not the case with THC, another cannabinoid compound that is present in the cannabis plant and is responsible for the recreational aspect and high feeling people associate Cannabis with.

CBD has a therapeutic power that is today scientifically recognized!

This is the reason why today, we can find CBD products everywhere. Creams for localized pains, vapes, and oil drops are becoming most popular thanks to their effectivity.

So what are the health benefits of using CBD? Good question!

Here are our top 8 health and therapeutic benefits of CBD:

1) It’s a natural pain-reliever

Bye-bye chronic pain! CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its effectiveness is scientifically proven by various scientific studies. It helps relieve pain and has shown to be most useful for migraines, fibromyalgia and Crohn’s disease (some even claim it reduces monthly menstrual pain — hear that ladies!). The best part is- CBD does not cause negative side effects such as opium addiction or liver damage due to paracetamol consumption.

2) It’s positively effecting your heart

Forget meditation and relaxation breathing- CBD can take care of that for you! CBD positively affects your heart arteries by causing long-lasting vasorelaxation. It also reduces the effects of cardiac ischemia, reperfusion and cardiac diabetes functions.

3) It’s a proven anti-anxiety reliever

According to several scientific studies, CBD relieves anxiety by acting on the (rather annoying) parts of the brain that are responsible for stress, including serotonin receptors.

CBD not only treats the symptoms of anxiety but also acts as an effective antipsychotic, alleviating disorders in bipolar or schizophrenia patients by limiting the negative side effects caused by psychotropic drugs.

4) It’s known for its antioxidant properties

Looking for the best anti-aging solution, well no need to look any further! CBD plays an important role against the premature aging of our body cells by effectively neutralizing free radicals in the body. Although CBD is first and foremost known for its soothing and anxiolytic action, it is also an invaluable aid for restoring energy and promoting the regeneration of our cellular system.

5) It’s a powerful anti-emetic function

CBD is a gentle, but effective solution to quickly treat nausea. Nausea is usually caused by motion sickness, migraine, gastroenteritis or pregnancy and is a side effect of many chemical treatments (yes, we’ve all been there). CBD is easy to absorb and works as a great natural alternative to the classic anti-emetic drugs that are almost always accompanied by unpleasant consistency and taste.

6) It’s great as an anti-convulsive

CBD is particularly strong as a treatment for those suffering of Dravet Syndrome as well as other forms of epilepsy. It is effective for reducing seizures and reducing the intensity of seizures in patients who suffer from them.

7) It’s active fight of acne and other skin problems

No more hiding your beautiful face! CBD is an effective natural substance for treating acne by acting on the sebaceous glands. Its anti-inflammatory properties help to significantly reduce the production of lipids in skin cells thus reducing acne’s undesirable and unsightly effects.

In addition, CBD is an effective remedy for regulating sebum production in the skin cells and prevent dry skin (so perfect for both oily and dry skin!).

8) It’s amazing fight of cancer

CBD is important for cancer patients as it reduces malignant tumors, significantly limits multiplication of cancer cells, and prevents the formation of metastases in the body.

In addition, CBD really appears as the ideal natural remedy for cancer patients as in addition to its fighting cancer properties, it is also able to reduce nausea, vomiting and pain that are so often experienced by the chemotherapy treatments. This is a huge milestone for cancer patients, helping them find a pleasant feeling of relaxation and well-being.

So…

As you’ve seen throughout this article, CBD is a harmless but truly powerful natural product. It is able to successfully treat a large number of symptoms and promotes good health.

To the many scientifically proven virtues that we’ve just mentioned above, CBD, in all its forms, has the great advantage of being a non-psychoactive compound, with no harmful side effects, and that is perfectly legal in many countries worldwide.

CBD is definitely becoming the Holy Grail for therapeutic purposes.
