People are now successfully using it to ease joint pain and research is being done on its effectiveness with headaches.

What is CBD?

CBD is short for cannabidiol, a chemical compound found in the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a naturally occurring substance that does not include THC, the active compound in cannabis commonly associated with euphoria. CBD is extracted from the plant to provide patients with pain relief and several other health benefits without the psychoactive effects related to the use of traditional marijuana. 

CBD is linked to pain relief for headaches as it impacts specific receptors in the brain. A 2019 review published in “Current Opinion in Neurology” indicates CBD can suppress the release of proteins connected to inflammatory pain and assist in modulating the immune cell system. (4)

CBD oil has been touted as one of the best medicines to avoid dependence upon opioids and other medications used to treat chronic pain. CBD oil is stronger than most non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. (5) CBD has strong antioxidant properties designed to decrease inflammation, improve brain health and general wellness.

Find Relief from Arthritis Pain!

Arthritis impacts over 54 million Americans daily. With arthritis comes joint pain, inflammation, decreased range of motion, and discomfort. Several recent studies indicate that CBD can reduce joint pain, inflammation, and symptoms of arthritis. (1) These studies show CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) receptors, allowing for pain-relieving effects and anti-inflammatory properties to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. We recommend CBD oil for joint pain as it does not have adverse side effects, and many of our customers find decreased pain and improved quality of life. In addition to providing pain relief, CBD improves sleep and overall physical function. (2)

Does CBD Provide Health Benefits?

Sir Patrick Stewart, who gained fame from the television series “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” has found CBD treatments to be one of the best options for arthritis pain management. In 2017, he discussed the lack of side effects following treatments and stated, “I believe that the ointment and spray have significantly reduced the stiffness and pain in my hands. I can make fists, which was not the case before I began this treatment.”(3) Conditions that improve following full-spectrum CBD use include;



*Anxiety 

*Chronic Pain

*Headaches

*Muscle Pain

*Neuropathy 

*Sleep Disorders

*Additional conditions have seen improvement following the ongoing use of CBD. If you have a diagnosed medical condition, it is recommended to discuss CBD with your provider to determine if CBD is right for you.

Full-spectrum CBD utilizes over 100 active ingredients from the hemp plant, helping to correctly modulate the endocannabinoid system and decrease inflammation while managing pain. Many of the low-grade CBD products on the market are not full-spectrum CBD, and they are limited in their ability to provide quality results.
