Over 50 million in the U.S. have been diagnosed with arthritis or rheumatic disease according to the Arthritis Foundation.
Symptoms include pain, stiffness, and decreased movement.
We all have an endocannabinoids system (ECS) which is made up of cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and metabolic enzymes, which all play a crucial role in the human body maintenance of homeostasis via various physiological and regulatory mechanisms.
The body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) has two main types of cannabinoid receptors and CBD interacts/simulates these receptors.
Most of the CB1 receptors are located in the brain and help with coordination, mood, thinking memory, and appetite. The CB2 receptors, are found throughout the rest of the body and are responsible for the body’s response to pain and inflammation.
When CB1 receptors are activated in the brain it creates an analgesic response (pain relief) whereas the CB2 creates an anti-inflammatory effect.
CBD can help in reducing inflammation and swelling which is what can help give people relief from arthritis as well as general aches and pains. Many studies on CBD have found several potential benefits for people with arthritis.
A primary benefit of taking CBD for arthritis sufferers is the positive effect in the reduction of pain.
Studies published in the journal Pain in December 2017 analysed whether CBD could prevent osteoarthritis pain and joint neuropathy. Based on their findings, researchers confirmed that CBD can help decrease joint inflammation and help protect nerves.
Research published in Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management suggested that CBD is helpful in easing pain for individuals diagnosed with conditions such as multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia pain.
There are a few different ways to take CBD but finding the best method for you and your lifestyle is key.
Taking CBD sublingually is one of the best ways to maximise absorption of CBD using CBD oil tincture, the oil is absorbed through tissues under the tongue and enters the bloodstream in around 15 minutes.
Not everyone likes the taste of traditional CBD oil, so CBD tablets and gummies offer a great alternative. Tablets and gummies are all extremely convenient and a really quick and easy way to take.
CBD body products are a fantastic way to target specific areas of pain and inflammation. CBD body products can be used serval times throughout the day on top of taking CBD orally.
