CBD

One of the greatest benefits of CBD oil is its ability to relieve pain. Studies have found CBD to be effective in treating pain from a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, back pain and muscle spasms. Studies have also found CBD to be effective in reducing the pain, spasms. and involuntary movements in individuals with Parkinson’s Disease. 

Significant amounts of research have shown CBD to have a major impact on the glycine receptors found in the central nervous system. These receptors play a key role in our perception of pain. CBD increases the effect of glycine receptors and, in doing so, decrease our sensation of pain. As mentioned above, CBD also has an anti-inflammatory effect that reduces redness and swelling.

The research into the health benefits of CBD oil are ongoing but early indications suggest that CBD may be a practical, more natural, solution to a wide range of medical conditions. This fact is particularly important when you consider the impact of prescription drugs.

Opioids, often used to treat chronic pain, are habit forming and carry a significant risk of dependency and overdose. They can leave people groggy with limited functioning and produce nasty withdrawal symptoms. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like aspirin or ibuprofen, are useful in treating minor aches and pains but they have their limits. They are not effective at treating chronic or extreme pain and long term use carries significant risks. Overuse of this common remedy can lead to peptic ulcers, acute renal failure, and stroke or myocardial infarction. 

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) used to treat depression and anxiety also carry potentially harmful side effects, including insomnia, dry mouth, a reduced sex drive, diarrhea, and sometimes suicidal ideations. Similarly, antipsychotic medications come with risks including low blood pressure, vomiting, constipation, tremors, seizures, drowsiness and restlessness. 

In contrast, CBD oil may be able to provide a safer alternative! CBD produces rare and mild side effects, and the World Health Organization has even stated, “CBD is generally well tolerated with a good safety profile.”

Treating certain medical conditions can be complicated but if there was a safer, more natural way, wouldn’t you want to try? 

Inflammatory conditions like arthritis, lupus, irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, or every day aches and pains, can be debilitating. Most medical solutions attempt to treat and control the symptoms without addressing the underlying causes of the inflammation. CBD helps alleviate those painful symptoms while also altering the mechanisms responsible for the inflammation. 

CB2 receptors help to regulate our body’s natural immune response. Inflammation is an immune response to injury, foreign bacteria, and viruses. Chronic inflammation occurs when the immune system can no longer recognize the body’s natural responses and begins to attack normal, healthy cells, leading to the possible progression or development of certain diseases.

CBD can stop these inappropriate immune responses before they begin. For example, cytokines are small proteins released by immune cells and are involved in initiating inflammation. CBD works to suppress cytokine production while boosting T-regulatory cells (Tregs). Tregs work to modulate the immune system and prevent autoimmune diseases.

We offer many delivery systems for CBD including drops, edibles, capsules, creams, vape, and more. Many have zero THC if this is a requirement for your sport or employment.
