CBD oil, or cannabidiol, has become increasingly popular thanks to its wide range of potential health benefits. According to a study by Project CBD, cannabidiol could be the key to treating epilepsy, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and many other ailments as well as reducing anxiety and depression symptoms. However, not all CBD oil is created equal; it’s important to choose an oil that has been produced with quality in mind to ensure you’re getting the most benefits from your purchase. Here are seven benefits of CBD oils that you may want to know about before making your next purchase.

Pain Relief

One of the many benefits of CBD oil is its ability to provide relief from pain. CBD is a natural pain reliever and antioxidant that can help ease chronic pain in adults. Let’s take a look at seven ways that CBD oil can help improve your health. 

1. Relieve aches and pains associated with arthritis.
2. Reduce inflammation in the body.
3. Promote healthy sleep patterns.
4. Lessen anxiety and depression for those who suffer from these conditions.
5. Slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
6. Help heal psoriasis, eczema, and other skin issues.
7. Fight cancer cells.

Reduces Inflammation

Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection that can also be caused by our diets, stress levels, and other aspects of our environment. CBD oil works as an anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the release of chemicals in your body that cause inflammation. By using CBD oil you may be able to reduce the pain and stiffness from arthritis, psoriasis, cancer recovery or other causes of inflammatory conditions and diabetes. CBD oil may even work better than conventional medications for people with chronic pain, such as those who suffer from neuropathy.

Helps with Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health problems in the U.S. In fact, one in five people suffers from either or both conditions each year. And while there are many ways to alleviate these disorders, CBD oil may be one of the best options out there. 

Here are seven ways that CBD oil can help to improve your mental health: 

• Reduces anxiety and depression.
• Improves sleep quality.
• Increases mood and self-esteem.
• Decreases headaches, muscle pains, and pain symptoms.

4) Helps to Combat Cancer

CBD oil is derived from the marijuana plant but does not contain THC, the psychoactive compound that gets people high. Instead, CBD is known for its ability to counter cancer cell growth and reduce tumor size. 

• Reduces anxiety and depression. 
• Helps with pain relief.
• Promotes general feelings of well-being.
• Facilitates sleep.
•  Offers relief from nausea and vomiting.
• Combats psychosis.
• Stimulates appetite.

Treats sleep disorders

CBD oil has been shown to help with sleep disorders by promoting relaxation and providing pain relief. The oils can also be used for anxiety and depression, as it may work to regulate the endocannabinoid system. CBD is a non-psychoactive substance that does not cause the high often associated with THC. This makes it a safer option for those who are new to the world of cannabis consumption, or those looking for less intense effects from their medication.

Reduces seizure frequency

In many people, seizures can be controlled with medication or surgery. However, some people are not candidates for either of these treatments. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural product that comes from the cannabis plant and has been shown to have strong anticonvulsant properties in animal models of epilepsy. In a recent study, 214 participants who had been having at least one seizure every month were given CBD as an add-to-medication treatment for 14 weeks and 16 weeks respectively. The frequency of the seizures was reduced by 42% and 53% at weeks 14 and 16 respectively.
