CBD can help relieve pain

Chronic pain is the most commonly reported reason for making use of medical cannabis, which is the term used for physician-recommended use of cannabis and its components, known as cannabinoids, for treating or improving symptoms of disease.

The cannabinoid, CBD, has analgesic properties in chronic pain. This is especially true for neuropathic and fibromyalgia pain.

In a four-week, placebo-controlled randomized study, the effectiveness of CBD oil in managing neuropathic symptoms was assessed.

The study involved 29 people with peripheral neuropathy. 15 were assigned to CBD treatment and 14 to placebo. The term peripheral neuropathy refers to any condition that affects the nerves located outside the brain or spinal column. Diabetes is one of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy.

The study population consisted of 62.1% men and 37.9% women with a median age of 68. The use of topical CBD led to a significant reduction in acute or intense pain.

Topical CBD treatments were well tolerated, and they could be a better alternative to current peripheral neuropathy treatment.

CBD can improve sleep quality

CBD has been shown to help improve sleep quality in a study. The study involved 25 participants with an average age 36.5 years. They all suffered from sleep problems.

After 1 month, the quality of sleep was again assessed.

Each capsule contained 25mg CBD daily. 66.7% reported better sleep in the first month.

Chronic pain can often lead to poor sleep quality. CBD improved sleep quality in 11 studies that involved 1219 people with neuropathic symptoms.

CBD can enhance sexual pleasure

The endocannabinoid receptor system is thought to play a part in the female sexual function. There’s a strong correlation between endocannabinoids concentrations and female sexual arousal.

CBD interacts the endocannabinoid receptor system, which is located throughout the body. CBD helps to enhance mood and reduce stress, which can help make sex more enjoyable when receptors are active.

Stress can hinder good sex. Orally taking CBD has been shown to reduce cortisol – the stress hormone.

CBD can help you relax and improve your mood, which can lead to a better night’s sleep.

CBD-infused oils and gels can also be used as lubricants.
