CBD stands for cannabinoid, which is obtained from the cannabis Sativa plant. The cannabis Sativa plant contains 80 chemicals, and the most famous one is THC. THC has psychoactive components, while CBD does not have any psychoactive components. It has been used to get relief from pain, anxiety, and seizures. It is gaining popularity due to its countless health benefits. Now scientific research is also conducted to confirm it.  Cannabinoid oil is extracted from cannabis Sativa then this oil is diluted by mixing carrier oil. Here are the benefits of using CBD.

Help To Alleviate The Pain

Marijuana has been used for decades to treat pain. Recently it was found that the CBD component of cannabis Sativa is responsible for providing relief from pain. The endocannabinoid system in our body controls pain to function.

Studies show that CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system receptors and helps in reducing chronic pain. A study on rats was conducted, which showed that CBD helped in reducing surgical pain. It also helped in reducing sciatic nerve pain and inflammation.

But CBD is proved to be more effective in reducing these symptoms. If the combination of THC and CBD is given to the patient, it is proved to be more effective than giving either THC or CBD only.

A wide range of studies was conducted on rats to know the effectiveness of CBD against cancer. Research shows that some CBD components have anti-cancer properties and help kill breast cancer cells. Another research was conducted which shows that CBD decreases the violent growth of breast cancer cells.

Remember that all these studies were conducted on rats, and there is no evidence of how CBD will act in the human body. More research is needed to know the behavior of CBD in the human body.
