10 Unknown Therapeutic Uses of CBD
-
In the following article, we'll explore 10 significant but relatively unknown medical uses of CBD.
While the well-known cannabinoid THC leads among recreational users, CBD is slowly but surely becoming a medical celebrity among patients. CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of approximately one hundred other active cannabinoids found in medical cannabis plants. CBD stands out both in its concentration in final extracts and its medical effects. Moreover, due to its minimal side effects, it is currently attracting attention from scientists, healers, and patients worldwide.
1. Diabetes
In a study published by the US National Library of Medicine, the CBD effect on non-obese mice successfully suppressed diabetes development. Specifically, it involved suppressing the production of splenocyte IL-12, a substance that plays a significant role in numerous autoimmune diseases, such as the notorious diabetes.
2. Nicotine Addiction
An official University of London study showed that cannabidiol could play a significant role in helping people quit tobacco smoking. In this study, 24 individuals were tested, receiving either a placebo or CBD via an inhaler. As a result, those inhaling CBD experienced a 40% reduction in the urge to light a cigarette, a number that greatly intrigued many addiction specialists.
