1. Anxiety. Cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabis sativa compound was shown in one clinical trial as an effective way to approach neuropsychiatric disorders including that of chronic anxiety. The study revealed that CBD’s therapeutic potential extended to generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.1

2. Chronic Pain. Pain management for regular aches and pains can be achieved with over-the-counter remedies like acetaminophen or Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, for chronic pain (aches that persist for 3-6 months or more) it can be difficult to find a long-term option in the form of pharmaceuticals. CBD supplements offer a sustainable option for pain relief as they are a holistic alternative to over-the-counter drugs. In one study on cannabis and chronic pain relief, participants used a variety of forms of cannabis including smoking and oral consumption. Then, they reported a significant reduction in pain relief including less muscle stiffness along with an enhancement of relaxation and overall improvements in their sense of well-being.2

3. Inflammation. Chronic inflammation is a natural response of your immune system. However, this type of immune response can cause all types of other health concerns including joint pain, neurodegeneration and more. However, numerous cannabinoids including CBD have been shown in clinical trials to help reduce chronic inflammation and it’s associated health concerns.

Offering an alternative to over-the-counter pain relievers, CBD vaporizers work inside the body by activating brain and nervous system receptors within the body’s natural endocannabinoid system (ECS). For this reason, the FDA has approved the use of CBD vaporizers for a range of purposes. So, talk to your doctor about the many benefits of CBD.
