BRAIN DISORDERS and CBD Oil

CBD Oil, the non-psychoactive component of the marijuana plant has been shown to have beneficial effects, particularly in disorders of the brain, including some brain cancers.  It is along the lines of medical marijuana but there is no “high” and it is

completely legal.  CBD Oil is an herbal supplement, not a prescription drug, but rather a simple compound found in a simple plant.  

There is a case of a 3-year-old girl from Florida who is battling brain cancer and has shown marked improvement with the use of CBD Oil. The child had endured months of treatment but was still suffering with issues of pain and brain damage brought on by the surgeries and chemotherapy.  After hearing about CBD Oil and deciding to try it the girl’s mother stated that the very first night her daughter tried it she was able to sleep through the night for the first time in her life. 

Other uses for CBD Oil in relation to brain disorders have been shown in children with certain types of epilepsy and other seizure disorders.  The success that was shown in these patients initially in reducing the severity and number of seizures is what prompted the development of plant strains which are higher in CBD Oil than in THC (the chemical which causes the “high” you get when smoking marijuana). 

According to a recent study by the University of Kentucky, cannabidiol (CBD Oil) can cause physiological brain changes the help to offset the damage caused by chronic alcoholism, essentially reversing the effects of alcohol-induced brain damage. 

CBD Oil has also been shown to be an effective treatment for those individuals suffering severe social anxiety.  Study authors state that the CBD treatment has advantages over standard treatments such as anti-depressants in that it is quick to act and does not have side effects or cause withdrawal symptoms. 

A clinical trial in Germany showed CBD Oil to be as effective in treating schizophrenia as traditional antipsychotic medications, again without side effects. 

More and more clinical studies are being done on other potential benefits of CBD Oil.  A lot of the information currently available is testimony from current users of CBD Oil through their own experiences with it. Read More...
