Cannabidoil shortened form is CBD and it is known to be a natural remedy for quite a number of ailments. Its name comes from its mother plant cannabis sativa. There is a cannabinoid in cannabis sativa which is known as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is a psychoactive compound in the plant. Due to the tetrahydrocannabinol marijuana makes someone feel high, however, unlike it, CBD is not psychoactive. Since the CBD does not have the mind altering effect that marijuana has, it is therefore a good alternative for pain relief. The CBD oil extracted from the cannabis plant is diluted with a carrier oil such as coconut oil or oil from the hemp seed. In the health and wellness industry, CBD is widely used to treat a variety of illnesses such as anxiety.
The oil can be used to relief pain and therefore it is used as pain reliever for chronic pain. The pain that is associated with some diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis can be reduced if CBD is used together with THC. Some mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression can be reduced by the CBD oil. Devastating results such as suicide, can be attributed to these health disorders and therefore the CBD oil comes in quite handy. Many people who have these conditions tend to prefer the oil which is a natural approach to other medications which might be addictive. Symptoms that are associated with cancer such as vomiting, pain and nausea can be alleviated using this CBD oil. Chemotherapy might be undergone in the treatment of cancer and it has some side effects such as vomiting and nausea which can be reduced by the CBD.
