What are CBD oils

CBD oils are extracted from the plant Cannabis or also known as Marijuana, this plant is indigenous to Central and South Asia and has been around for millions of years. It has been used by ancient people as medicine and as a hallucinogen in their religious rituals. The cannabis sativa plant is grown because it has potent and sticky glands called trichomes which contain large amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, this is the psychoactive cannabinoid. There are two components of cannabis THC and CBD, THC is what causes the high feeling and CBD which researchers think modulates chemical and electrical activity to help calm the excessive brain activity. Higher CBD and lower THC is what seizure patients usually use.

When buying CBD oils, a buyer should know what exactly he or she is getting, is it oil that would give him a high or the oil that can ease his arthritis pain? Asking and knowing what you need is the best step to get the right products.

There are a lot of concerns when it comes to cannabis; it was once a legitimate drug prescribed by doctors and sold in pharmacies decades ago. That all changed when Federal Bureau of Narcotics Harry J. Anslinger campaigned heavily against it calling users as people who would abuse women and children. He portrayed the use of cannabis as unproductive and crazed. It took a lot of years, and still taking more, to prove that it can actually be used as a medicine.

Although cannabis is an indigenous plant from Asia, people around the world are growing it, from the American continent to Europe and beyond, although using it  is highly restricted.

What CBD oil can do for the health

A whole range of illnesses like cancer, multiple sclerosis, anorexia, illnesses which cause seizures, Parkinson’s, arthritis, neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, eating disorders and more are seen to have to possibility to be, if not cured, eased by the intake of organic pure cbd oils. Due to strict government opposition and guidelines, studies on these are limited even though a lot of patients are clamoring for the chance to be treated by cannabis.

With the growing global awareness of alternative medicines or homeopathic health care, more and more people see CBD oil as a potentially safe treatment for their illnesses especially for cancer patients. Despite all of these, a state rejected the pleas of parents or children with autism to use CBD oil on their kids.

Benefits of CBD Oil

One of the benefits of natural pure clean cbd oils is the reduction of stress and anxiety. Stress is brought by unhealthy living, working too hard without resting properly, and bad environment. Chronic stress results in anxiety, the weakening of the immune system giving way to germs and bacteria harming the human body. People who are under stress should always be actively looking for ways to unwind or de-stress. The purest cbd oils have the power to release what’s called happy hormones to relax the body and the mind. This reduces stress and generally calms the body.  Cannabinoids, a component of cannabis is responsible for this; it triggers certain receptors in the body in order to produce these effects in the nervous and immune system.

Research at the University of Haifa in Israel found that treating people who have undergone the traumatic experience with cannabinoid yielded good results and had prevented lasting harm brought on by stress. CBD oil works very well with people who have trouble sleeping, people who suffer from insomnia. A scientific review published in 2015 show that cbd oil’s calming properties help people sleep better, easing anxiety and restlessness. It was particularly effective when used on military soldiers and veterans suffering from PTSD or posttraumatic stress disorder.

By using cannabinoid treatment, soldiers described how their anxiety have lessened, they were able to sleep better and their coping ability improved. Even those with a more severe form of PTSD reported increased coping ability.

It has also been used by survivors of the Holocaust to relieve themselves of stress and the pain of remembering. They reported a general increase in vitality, sleep improvement, and a decrease in chronic pain.

Another benefit would be for people suffering from eating disorders or those who want to gain weight due to an illness or maybe after an injury, natural 100% pure cbd oil helps regulate and stimulate the appetite since the pure oil can bring on hunger and excite the digestive system. Cannabis helps with the release of hormones that promote hunger; the brain neurons can expel hormones that can stimulate the appetite and can also expel hormones that release hormones that suppress hunger.

So, depending on which hormone is released cbd oil can either stimulate the appetite of suppressing it, pure oil helps people with eating disorders and can be a way to treat obesity as well. More research is being done to determine the efficiency of this treatment for people with eating problems.

Studies also show that CBD oil helps naturally treat eye diseases that are caused by the degeneration of the macula lutea cells in the eyes, this degeneration usually results to blurred vision and eventually loss of sight. It can also be used to treat patients who have glaucoma since cannabis has been shown to lower IOP. Though patients would have to ingest cannabis quite frequently.

Another benefit of using oil from cbd (pure) is its ability to reduce pain. Ever since it was first discovered, cannabis have been used as a pain reliever as it inhibits the transmission of pain in the nerves. Pure oil can relieve pain and even inflammation, this is the reason why patients who have cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy chooses to use cbd oil to relieve them of their pain. Studies suggest that cannabis oil have been extremely helpful for people suffering from chronic pain. With the use of natural 100% pure cbd oil pain was reduced and sleep was improved.

A study conducted by the University of Nottingham suggests that cannabinoids from cannabis can relax and widen blood vessels making it ideal for lowering blood pressure and the improvement of circulation. The antioxidants in the purest cbd oil have heart benefits thus preventing disease in the cardiovascular system. Studies also shows that cannabis have the ability to prevent hypertension, stroke and even heart attacks. But more research and study have to be done to make sure that this method is safe for patients.

The application of CBD oil on skin can also help in getting rid of dead skin cells and acne. Cannabinoids promote lipid production that helps people with dry skin. The antioxidant properties of cbd oil helps inhibit the damage the free radicals bring like dark spots and wrinkles.

Science is still divided on the subject of cbd oil as a cancer treatment as well as an option in cancer prevention. Studies has shown that cannabis have helped in decreasing tumor size, helping with pain management and increasing appetite. Studies show that cannabis have anti-cancer properties and that cannabinoid therapy have no side effects on cancer patients and only increased patient energy or vitality. A woman suffering from a tumor in her chest have used cbd oil and other homeopathic ways to reduce the size of her tumor. Doctors were surprised with the speed of the tumor decreasing but not at all surprised to learn that she used cbd oil.

In Australia, cannabis oil has been approved to be used on patients suffering from muscle spasms, severe epileptic seizures, severe pain and nausea caused by chemotherapy treatment. Although it is not allowed to grow cannabis plants in homes it is a step towards helping patients with illnesses that can be eased by the use of cannabis.

In Mexico, the country’s Supreme Court has ruled to allow the growing of cannabis for recreational use. This landmark decision sparked hope among supporters that one day the use of the plant can be legalized one day. This decision also surprised people around the world, as Mexico long denied the liberalization of drug laws. Supporters rejoiced as they’ve seen how Mexico’s drug policy only encouraged and help traffickers gain a foothold in the country. Instead of curbing drug related crimes in only increased it.

In the UK, CCCs or Cannabis Compassion Clubs are on the rise, these are local communities that give out cannabis for free for as medicine to people in need, especially to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. These communities also helped change the view of people about cannabis, from being compared to debilitating drugs like cocaine or meth to a medical option for really sink people.

These CCCs also help families find a reliable place to get cannabis for their ailing family members, preventing scams and similar crimes from happening. The number of scammers are increasing with the lack of proper legal dispensaries.

How CBD oil is extracted

When buying, one has to know whether he or she is buying organic pure cbd oils. Some extraction techniques use high temperature to extract the oil in cannabis, some also use solvents which are toxic and dangerous and does not fully extract the nutrients in the oil. The bad thing is that some of these techniques can’t properly separate the components of the oil making the end product unclean or impure.

Another method is to use alcohol to extract the oil, this imposes a lot of danger because the alcohol can make things flammable. A lot of fire has been reported to be caused by homemade alcohol extraction techniques. A buyer should look for cbd oils that are not synthetic or oils added with other oils, in other words unclean cbd oil.

People who use cbd oil usually ingest it using an oral syringe sometimes adding it with honey or other food to mask or improve the flavor. The dose usually depends on the illness of the person, how severe it is, and the tolerance of the person, most start with a small amount and then gradually increase it.

A buyer should look for reputable stores or companies that sells pure oil and be discerning when it comes to buying online. If you don’t live near a dispensary it’s better to look online or find contacts that can connect you to trusted stores or manufacturers. Don’t fall prey to scammers, scrutinize, ask questions and always look for other stores to buy from. Sometimes low product prices will not always mean that they are selling quality products, some are just selling bad products that they try to pass off as legitimate ones. It is much better to go through safe means of obtaining cbd oil, if you live in the United Kingdom or in Canada you should search for CCCs that can help you find what you’re looking for.

As always when in comes to medicine or health products you should research and decide if the product is for you.
