THE BENEFITS OF CBD WITH HARRY JAMESON

As you may know, our Co-Founder and Chief Wellness Officer, Harry Jameson, is also the founder of Rain CBD; all natural, best-in-class CBD products for happier, more balanced living. ⁠

CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, and then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut oil or hemp seed oil. CBD can be found in a variety of products online and in stores, including dietary supplements, bath soaks, drinks, and food.

It continues to gain momentum in the health and wellness world, with some scientific studies finding that it may ease symptoms of conditions such as chronic pain and anxiety.

But what exactly does it do? Let’s take a look!

May Relieve Pain

Cannabis has been used to treat pain since as far back as 2900 B.C! More recently, scientists have discovered that certain components of cannabis, including CBD, are responsible for its pain-relieving effects.

The human body contains a specialised system called the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in regulating a variety of functions, including sleep, appetite, pain sensation, and immune system response.

The body produces endocannabinoids, which are neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system.

Studies have shown that CBD may help reduce chronic pain by affecting endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation, and interacting with neurotransmitters.

Could Reduce Mental Health Disorders

Anxiety disorders and other mental health disorders can have devastating impacts on overall health and well-being. Mental health disorders are often treated with pharmaceutical drugs, which can cause a number of side effects, including drowsiness, agitation, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, and headaches.

What’s more, mental health medications have the potential to cause dependence, and may lead to substance use disorder.

CBD oil has shown promise as a treatment for some mental health disorders, such as anxiety disorders, leading many people who live with these conditions to become interested in this natural approach.

Alleviates Cancer-related Symptoms

CBD may help reduce some cancer-related symptoms and side effects related to cancer treatment, such as nausea, vomiting, and pain.

Neurological Benefits

Researchers believe that CBD has an ability to provide benefits for those with neurological disorders.

In fact, one of the most studied uses for CBD is in treating neurological disorders such as epilepsy and MS. Though research in this area is still relatively new, several studies have shown promising results.

For example, several studies have shown that treatment with CBD may improve quality of life and sleep quality in people with Parkinson’s disease!

May Benefit Heart Health

Some research has linked CBD with several benefits for the heart and circulatory system, including the ability to lower blood pressure.

High blood pressure is linked to higher risks of a number of health conditions, including stroke, heart attack, and metabolic syndrome. Studies indicate that CBD may be beneficial for people with high blood pressure.

CBD has also been linked to reducing arterial stiffens and improved blood flow, but more studies are yet to be conducted. Watch this space!

Improved Sleep

Although further studies are yet to be conducted, CBD holds promise as a treatment for sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndromes, and even nightmares related to post traumatic stress disorder.
