CBD is used as support in conventional therapies for conditions such as:

Epilepsy – studies have shown that CBD can be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of seizures. Among treated patients, an average decrease of 45.1% in seizure episodes was observed. In the case of supporting traditional epilepsy treatment with cannabinoids, very high doses of CBD are commonly used, ranging between 5-50 mg/kg body weight/day.

Multiple sclerosis – supportive in slowing down the progression of the disease and managing individual symptoms. Benefits of using CBD in multiple sclerosis include:

– Reducing neurological inflammation

– Reducing muscle spasms

– Preventing T-cell infiltration and slowing disease progression

– Reducing neuropathic pain

– Slowing the development of autoimmune problems

– Supporting bladder control

Autoimmune diseases – supportive in slowing down the progression of the disease and managing individual symptoms. CBD exhibits strong anti-inflammatory effects and reduces the symptoms of inflammation, showing the ability to inhibit disease development. Additionally, it easily reduces swelling.

Autoimmune diseases are conditions resulting from the misdirected response of the immune system toward healthy tissues (so-called bluff). These diseases include, among others:

– Rheumatoid arthritis (a disease that destroys joints – leading to their deformation and loss of limb function)

– Psoriatic arthritis (causing pain, joint stiffness, and manifested by red spots on the skin)

– Multiple sclerosis (neurological autoimmune disease attacking the central nervous system)

– Chronic fatigue syndrome (a ‘mysterious condition’ associated with a symptom or disease; often accompanied by sleep disturbances, apathy, reduced mood, and high fever)

– Vitiligo (albinism, a disease associated with depigmentation)

– Intestinal diseases (resulting in partial or complete inflammation of the digestive system)

– Atherosclerosis (inflammation of artery walls, which can lead to a stroke or heart attack)

– Psoriasis,

– Eczema,

– Atopic dermatitis (skin diseases resulting from an improper structure of the skin’s lipid layer)

– Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

Neurodegenerative diseases

The basic mechanisms CBD uses to overcome neurodegenerative disorders include:

– Reducing or preventing neurological inflammation

– Preventing the migration of T-cells through the blood-brain barrier (autoimmune prophylaxis)

– Antioxidant support (reducing DNA damage)

– Solving problems related to side effects (such as insomnia, depression, and neuropathic pain)

Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the gradual loss of neurons in certain areas of the nervous system. This loss of cells leads to a deterioration of cognitive functions and is responsible for most symptoms occurring in this condition.

CBD is promising as a protective agent in several neurodegenerative disorders, including:

– Multiple sclerosis

– Alzheimer’s disease

– Spinal cord injury

– Prion diseases (minor improvement)

– Parkinson’s disease

Sleep disorders – Studies released in 2014 in “Sleep Medicine Reviews” suggest that CBD may help patients maintain deep sleep due to its positive impact on the REM sleep phase. Other reports by scientists emphasize the favorable effect of CBD drops on sleep, thanks to their blood pressure-lowering properties and slowed breathing.

Anxiety disorders – CBD shows anxiety-reducing effects and supportive action in symptomatic treatment of anxiety disorders. It reduces somatic symptoms of anxiety, including:

– Panic attacks

– Irritability

– Headaches

– Muscle pain

– Increased heart rate

– Palpitations

– Elevated blood pressure

– Breathing problems

– Upset stomach

– Insomnia

– Chronic fatigue.

Depression – CBD supports pharmacological treatment and psychotherapy. A significant effect in terms of the action of CBD oil on depression is the impact of cannabidiol on the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor. Stimulation of this receptor causes the body to release more serotonin and dopamine, known as happiness hormones. The result is the inhibition of further disease development and symptom relief.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – There is increasing scientific evidence on the mechanisms of CBD action in post-traumatic stress disorder. Several paths of CBD influence in alleviating PTSD symptoms have been observed:

– Helps extinguish traumatic memories

– Reduces fear and anxiety

– Facilitates coping with stress

– Supports healthy sleep.”
