Most people who take cannabidiol, CBD, use it for chronic pain, especially for joint pain. A study conducted in 2018 of more than 2,400 people showed this in a cannabis and cannabinoid publication. CBD was shown to be used therapeutically for many conditions, from pain, to anxiety and sleep disorders.
Some people feel that CBD is a better alternative for pain that hasn\’t responded effectively to traditional medical treatment therapies. Evidence that CBD is effective for pain relief in humans is still being compiled. Laboratory tests as well as animal studies have shown that CBD has anti inflammatory properties. It also acts on the serotonin and opioid receptors, as well as on other receptors in the endocannabinoid system, ECS. These systems are all involved with regulating our response to pain.
When considering using CBD oil for pain, it is important for a person to consider its legality and also its verification that the CBD taken contains what the label states it does.
