The cannabis compound delivers a long list of improvements to those dealing with MS
Advances in the study of cannabidiol (CBD) have shown that this compound extracted from the cannabis or hemp plant can have positive effects on patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), as it is able to reduce muscular and neuropathic pain and even help in the conciliation of sleep.
With a correct dose of CBD sustained over time, most of the symptoms presented by patients with this disease can be treated. For this reason, specialists around the world consider it one of the most recommended treatment methods today.
MS is a disease of the nervous system that can directly affect the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. It leads to problems such as instability, lack of sleep, muscle control and loss of other basic body functions as the body attacks itself and destroys the myelin that destroys neurons.
There has been a lot of research on the use of medical marijuana and CBD to treat MS, much of which is very promising. While doctors and medical researchers do not know exactly what causes MS, it is generally accepted that it is an inflammatory disease.
This may be why some people with MS say that CBD, a cannabinoid that may have anti-inflammatory properties, helps relieve their symptoms. Numerous studies suggest that CBD may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and some studies suggest that these properties may combine to create a neuroprotective effect.
The progression of MS is thought to occur when different nerves become inflamed, lose their coating, and become damaged. Many researchers are interested in whether CBD could help combat this process due to its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. While more research is needed, some recent studies suggest that CBD may, in fact, have neuroprotective benefits that could benefit people with neurological diseases such as MS, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
