CBD Oil   

Canada is quickly becoming an industry leader in holistic health. CBD is a non psychoactive cannabinoid that’s show amazing results for various ailments.  CBD influences the release and uptake of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, leading to many potential therapeutic uses

Cannabidiol (CBD) 

Oil is a product that’s derived from cannabis. It’s a type of  cannabinoid, which are naturally occurring  in marijuana plants. Even though it comes from marijuana plants, CBD oil does not give you a  “high” effect or any form of intoxication. The high effect is caused by the THC 

There’s growing awareness about the  health benefits of CBD oil in Canada

 Anxiety Relief 

CBD cano help you manage anxiety. Canadian Researchers think it may change the way your brain’s receptors respond to serotonin, a chemical linked to mental health. Receptors are tiny proteins attached to your cells that receive chemical messages and help your cells respond to different stimuli. 

One study found that a 600mg dose of CBD helped people with social anxiety feel more relaxed . Other early studies  have shown that CBD oil may help relieve anxiety by: reducing stress. Decreasing physiological effects of anxiety, such as an increased heart rate improving symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) inducing sleep in cases of insomnia

Anti-Seizure

Use CBD as a possible treatment for epilepsy. Research is still in its early days.  CBD oil  may able to reduce the number of seizures in people with epilepsy.  The American Epilepsy Society states that cannabidiol research offers hope for seizure disorders, and that research is currently being conducted to better understand the use.

Neuroprotective

Researchers are looking at a receptor located in the brain to learn about the ways that CBD could help people with neurodegenerative disorders, which are diseases that cause the brain and nerves to deteriorate over time. This receptor is known as CB1. 

Researchers are studying the use of CBD oil for treating:

Alzheimer’s disease

multiple sclerosis (MS)

Parkinson’s disease

stroke

CBD oil may also reduce the inflammation that can make neurodegenerative symptoms worse. More research is needed to fully understand the effects of CBD oil for neurodegenerative diseases. 

 Pain Relief

The effects of CBD oil may also help you manage pain. Cannabis can offer some benefits when taken after chemotherapy treatments.  Cannabinoids can also help in relieving symptoms caused by:

arthritis

chronic pain

MS pain

muscle pain

spinal cord injuries

Nabiximols (Sativex), a multiple sclerosis drug made from a combination of TCH and CBD, is approved in the United Kingdom and Canada to treat MS pain. However, researchers think the CBD in the drug may be contributing more with its anti-inflammatory properties than by acting against the pain. 

 Acne

The effects of CBD on receptors in the immune system  help to teduce overall inflammation in the body. CBD oil may offer benefits for acne management. CBD oil may prevent activity in sebaceous glands. These glands are responsible for producing sebum, a natural oily substance that hydrates the skin. Too much sebum, however, can lead to acne. 

 Cancer Treatment

CBD oil can help in prevent cancer cell growth, but research is still in its early stages. CBD may help alleviate cancer symptoms and cancer treatment side effects.  The action of CBD that’s promising for cancer treatment is its ability to moderate inflammation and change how cell reproduce. CBD has the effect of reducing the ability of some types of tumor cells to reproduce. 

How to use CBD oil

CBD is extracted from marijuana plants as either an oil or powder. These can be mixed into creams or gels. They can be put into capsules and taken orally, or rubbed on your skin. The multiple sclerosis drug nabiximols is sprayed as a liquid into your mouth. How CBD should be used depends largely on what it’s being used for.

 Methods of use

​Orally: by capsules, placed under the tongue, you can even smoke some types of CBD

Topicals: are cannabis infused lotions, balms and oils that are absorbed through the skin for pain relief and inflammation.
