CBD Empowered Chronic Pain Treatment
Any pain lasting over three months is defined as chronic pain. It can be persistent, or come and go. The urge to stop the pain may make people dependent on drugs, including opioids which can result in many side effects, even deaths when overdosed. And opioids are not effective for 90% of people with chronic pain.
Popular Alternative to Pain Relieving Medications
CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural compound extracted from the cannabis or hemp
plants. It does not cause the ‘high’ feeling, and has zero-addiction profile.
Research shows promising results that CBD is effective in overall chronic pain conditions, including relief of arthritis pain, neuropathic pain, cancer-related pain, fibromyalgia（a chronic widespread pain）and migraine (a primary headache disorder).
CBD becomes an increasingly popular alternative therapy for chronic pain, and is proved to be an effective way to help people escape opioid addiction.
Science-Based Facts about How CBD Modulates Pain
Reducing Pain Signals – CBD modulates pain by stimulating the neurotransmitter, boosting its levels and inhibiting pain sensations. CBD may also block pain signals by binding to TPRV1, the receptors responsible for pain and inflammation.
Increasing Immune Response – CBD can either suppress or boost the immune system. This means that, depending on how active our immune system is, CBD can act in opposing ways. If your immune system is overactive, it could counterbalance it; if it needs a boost, CBD may give your body’s needs. The ECS strives to maintain homeostasis, and CBD will support to achieve this balance in your body.
Reducing Inflammation –Clinical studies have confirmed that CBD reduces the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (small proteins essential in the inflammatory process) to produce the potent anti-inflammatory effect.
As an effective, safe and well-tolerated pain reliever, CBD is delivering improved life for chronic pain sufferers.
