How Can CBD Help with Tremors
CBD oil is becoming an increasingly popular alternative for treating various health issues. One area where it shows promising results is tremor treatment – uncontrolled shaking of hands, legs, or other body parts. Let's explore how CBD can help with tremors and what treatment options are available today.
What is Tremor and What Are Its Types?
Tremor or shaking is an involuntary rhythmic muscle movement that most often affects hands, legs, head, or voice. It occurs due to neurological brain dysfunction affecting muscle control. It can appear after a stroke, head injury, or even in healthy people – often as a reaction to stress and anxiety.
Most Common Types of Tremor:
1. Resting Tremor
- Occurs even at rest when muscles are not in use
- Typical for Parkinson's disease
- Most often affects hands and fingers
2. Essential Tremor (ET)
- Most widespread type of tremor
- Affects up to 50% of offspring if parents were affected
- Manifests during movement – for example, while drinking or tying shoelaces
- Usually begins after 40 years of age
