Cannabidiol, The Wonder Drug of the Future
Cannabidiol, also known as CBD is an important cannabidiol derivative found in marijuana. Cannabidiol is also one of the handful of identified naturally occurring cannabidiols in cannabis and constitutes up to 40 % of the total plant's extract. The other half belongs to another group of cannabidiols called CBG or cannabidiolates. This specific component of marijuana is thought to act as a weaker version of THC, the chemical substance found in marijuana that has been proven highly dangerous to humans. However, researchers have shown that Cannabidiol has some distinct health benefits that may be beneficial to human health.
Cannabidiol may benefit us in a number of ways, one of them being reducing the signs of aging. Research shows that CBD reduces the appearance of 'age' on the skin by acting as an anti-inflammatory and possibly an anti-oxidant. This also means it may prevent some of the damage caused by the damage to our arteries, as well as slowing the aging process.
Since using cannabidiol can help reduce the pain of certain medical conditions like glaucoma, and seizures in epileptic patients, it is being used more frequently in treating such conditions. Glaucoma is usually treated with a combination of aspirin and an anti-seizure drug. The risk of losing control during a seizure can be a major problem for patients using this method of treatment, which many people do not want to undertake. The side effects of taking epilepsy medication, for example, can include loss of consciousness and sometimes death. However, using cannabidiol to treat glaucoma may help prevent a potentially fatal situation.
Another medical condition treated with cannabidiol is epilepsy. epilepsy patients are often given large doses of cannabidiol (and in some cases, a CBD extract) to relieve the pain caused by their seizures. However, because CBD is not able to cross the blood brain barrier, it has no effect on epilepsy patients when it comes to reducing the electrical activity of the seizures. Also, the level of cannabidiol required to relieve the patient's symptoms is very high, which means it would have to be taken on a daily basis over a long period of time to achieve any benefit. This can only be done with the use of a special cannabidiol supplement, which is available from health stores and online.
Cannabidiol, like many other medicinal plants, might decrease the effectiveness of other medications. Research has not established whether or not CBD is compatible with certain types of medications, although it has been shown that it might decrease the effectiveness of at least two medications used to treat serious diseases, such as cancer and HIV. It might even interact with many prescription and non-prescription medications, such as anti-depressants, antibiotics, antidepressants, corticosteroids, birth control pills, nicotine and many others. It is important to talk to your doctor if you intend to take cannabidiol for any of these conditions.
Cannabidiol, because it is not a known metabolism enhancer, may cause sleepiness while it is being used to treat a disorder. This is called side effects, and there are different types of side effects, depending on the disorder. The most common is a decrease in libido, which may cause sleepiness during the daytime. Some researchers believe that cannabidiol might increase levels of melatonin, which might help prevent jet lag.
Sleepiness or lack of sleep, as noted above, is usually caused by other factors, such as anxiety or depression. However, in some cases, the lack of sleep caused by the presence of cannabidiol can be due to an allergy to pollen, environmental pollutants, or a strong odour. Early research suggests that cannabidiol use is not recommended for people who are prone to allergies. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently warned that there might be an increased risk of dying or going blind from using it to treat ADHD. This is one of the first signs of serious side effects that can occur.
Cannabidiol, like most other plant extracts, undergo phase II of human clinical testing, which is designed to confirm its safety and efficacy in humans. In this phase, scientists use double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies to test the effects of Cannabidiol on behavior, health, and wellness. Early research indicates that cannabidiol has some positive effect on neuropsychological disorders such as attention deficit disorder (ADD; also referred to as hyperactivity) and schizophrenia. But the real potential benefits of cannabidiol lie in its potential to treat ailments associated with aging skin and mucosal lining, and inflammation, such as Crohn's disease, ulcers, colitis, arthritis, and even certain forms of cancer. If further clinical trials confirm these indications, Cannabidiol could prove to be an extremely important additional addition to the current arsenal of treatment options for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorders.
