The Top 10 Amazing Benefits Of CBD

Benefits Of CBD Oil

With the popularity of CBD on the rise you may be wondering what all the fuss is about.

The truth is that CBD is still quite new and there’s still a lot of research and testing to be done.

Based on what we do know about it I’ve compiled a list of the top 10 amazing benefits of CBD oil and what it could do for you.

So let’s get started!

#1 CBD May Help In The Fight Against Cancer

CBD Fights Cancer

More research needs to be done but according to the American Cancer Society:

“scientists reported that THC and other cannabinoids such as CBD slow growth and/or cause death in certain types of cancer cells growing in lab dishes. Some animal studies also suggest certain cannabinoids may slow growth and reduce spread of some forms of cancer.”

CBD may also be beneficial for cancer patients to combat the near constant nausea caused by going through the lengthy ‘chemo’ process.

Anti Cancer research found that combining CBD with conventional chemotherapy can lead to enhanced anti-cancer activity and cancer cell death.

Anti Cancer research also found (see page 1 of 5 here) that pharmaceutical grade CBD helped to reduce tumour size in over 92% of cases based on 112 participants with breast cancer.

There is more research being done as we speak into how CBD and marijuana may be used to help fight cancer or at least relieve some of the symptoms.

#2 CBD Could Help To Prevent Seizures

A hybrid CBD strain was created in Colorado, called Charlotte’s Web.

“Scientists think the CBD quiets the excessive electrical and chemical activity in the brain that causes seizures. It had worked in this boy; his parents saw a major reduction in the boy’s seizures.”

Charlottes Web CBD was named named after a 6 year old girl called Charlotte who went from having 300 seizures per month to almost none thanks to Cannabidiol.

  1. It’s great that you elaborated on the benefits of CBD. Since I have been experiencing frequent headaches in the past weeks, I think I must look for a better treatment since it affects my working habits. Good thing I came across your article and knew that CBD contains pain receptors that can alleviate the pain and lessen the headaches and migraines. Hopefully, I can find a store that sells legitimate products since I seriously need to take one.
