Cannabidiol (or CBD) is a cannabinoid derived from hemp. This substance is one of the hundred molecules present in cannabis. It is essential not to confuse it with THC, an illegal psychotropic in France. Cannabidiol can be consumed legally and has been the subject of numerous scientific studies around the world for more than two decades. Safe and non-addictive or hallucinatory, CBD can be used to good effect in a variety of ways in your day-to-day life.
This natural substance is mainly known for its analgesic and anxiolytic effects. It is thus a highly effective painkiller, which can equal conventional analgesics. CBD acts as a muscle relaxant that will be able to reduce chronic pain (especially muscle and joint pain). It is also able to calm migraines and nausea. For frequent use as an anti-inflammatory, the advice of a health specialist, if not mandatory, is however recommended. Discover CBD by consulting the products available in a reference online store.
Managing anxiety and depression is an important public health issue. The drugs prescribed can have disabling side effects on a daily basis or lead to a situation of dependence. In this context, cannabidiol is of interest due to its ability to reduce stress and regulate mood. Several studies have been able to demonstrate that CBD acts on brain serotonin receptors. This neurotransmitter plays a central role in our mood and is involved in depression, eating disorders and sleep disorders.
The use of CBD is very interesting here to visibly reduce the symptoms of depression as well as anxiety in everyday life. People prone to stress can use cannabidiol in small doses to calm down and feel more comfortable in various situations. Scientific studies have also attested to the effectiveness of cannabidiol in promoting sleep and improving the quality of sleep. Regular consumption for 30 days reduces nighttime awakenings and makes it easier to sleep.
More generally, CBD has a wide spectrum of beneficial actions in our body. Its anti-inflammatory power goes hand in hand with a natural antioxidant effect. It is possible in particular to use it to reduce joint pain linked to arthritis, but also in the context of a regular sports activity causing muscle micro-traumas.
The antioxidant abilities of cannabidiol help regulate the production of collagen in the body. CBD also has the power to protect against free radicals that cause oxidative stress and premature aging of cells. These effects are very useful to give suppleness and radiance to the skin, counterbalancing certain environmental factors (such as the sun) that can damage the most fragile skin. CBD also helps reduce facial redness and acne.
Experimental treatments in different fields are being studied to allow other therapeutic uses of cannabidiol. This could sustainably improve the sleep of patients affected by Parkinson’s disease and reduce the less severe symptoms in people with schizophrenia.
To take advantage of all the benefits of CBD, careful dosage is necessary. You can start with low doses, making sure that you do not have side effects (fatigue, loss of appetite). Depending on your needs, the frequency of cannabidiol doses can be adjusted later.
