INDEX   CBD oil: benefits and uses The therapeutic properties of CBD The effects of CBD while we sleep Can CBD be taken with other drugs?   CBD or cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid produced by cannabis sativa plants. Known and appreciated by many people for its beneficial effects, it is increasingly used also in the therapeutic and pharmacological fields for its potential. In this article we will try to analyze the positive effects and the potential negative effects, bearing in mind that the side effects are very mild and only occur with very high dosages.     CBD oil: benefits and uses   CBD oil is a pure extract obtained from the best sativa cannabis plants. It is a natural broad spectrum supplement based on cannabidiol or CBD, the main non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis plants.   CBD oil is appreciated by many people for its therapeutic properties and the benefits it can bring to the mind and body. The positive effects of CBD can be traced back to its interaction with our endocannabinoid system.   The endocannabinoid system is a system that serves to regulate certain fundamental physiological functions, including sleeping, eating, feeling pleasure or pain. It consists of specific receptors that bind to the endogenous cannabinoids produced naturally by our body. That's right, we naturally produce chemicals that are nothing but cannabinoids . This is why our body is so well predisposed to the intake of the cannabinoids present on the plant and cannabis sativa is so effective in treating various ailments.   In many people, however, the endocannabinoid system does not work as it should, perhaps due to genetic causes or a temporary situation that can cause its alteration. In these cases, CBD works just as a regulator. It can be very useful for restoring the natural balance of the endocannabinoid system by being able to interact with it directly. It binds in particular to CB1 receptors which have a fundamental function in regulating pain, hunger, sleep and good mood.   CBD can be used in the form of CBD crystal oil or Full Spectrum CBD Oil. L ' CBD oil can be taken orally, by placing it under the tongue or diluted in two inches of water, but also used directly on the skin for cutaneous use. CBD can also be used with a weed vaporizer in the form of buds.   CBD oil, being one of the purest forms of this active ingredient, is undoubtedly one of the best ways to take it and the most used and requested in the therapeutic field.   CBD Oil side effects     The therapeutic properties of CBD   Cannabis sativa is a kind of natural pharmacy. Cannabinoids can perform different therapeutic functions, which is why they are so coveted and studied in the medical and pharmacological fields. If a lot of research has always been done on THC , CBD has only recently received the interest of the scientific community, already bringing home several successes.   Here are the main therapeutic properties of CBD:   anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties : thanks to this type of property, CBD can counteract chronic pain , migraines and menstrual pain. CBD can also reduce chronic intestinal diseases and normalize intestinal motility.   Ability to counteract arthritis and rheumatism: CBD oil is able to promote and stimulate bone formation, hindering and preventing the process of thinning of the bones.   CBD can successfully treat several cases of drug resistant epilepsy , even in children. A study conducted on a group of children with drug resistant epilepsy showed a reduction in seizures in 84% of cases. Another study, conducted in eight patients with secondary epilepsy, showed improvement in the disease after receiving 200-300 mg of CBD over a five-month period.   CBD can protect against neurodegenerative diseases , in fact it has a very powerful antioxidant action, even more intense than that of vitamin C. This action makes it a promising active ingredient to treat diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.   Produces anxiolytic and relaxing effects and has the ability to improve mood : CBD can help in cases of mild depression, anxiety and mood disorders due to its ability to interact with the Cb1 receptors of our endocannabinoid system. A 2011 study showed the effectiveness of CBD on some patients with untreated social anxiety disorder. CBD was administered prior to an event where patients were expected to speak in public. The study showed that the CBD pretreated group was able to contain anxiety significantly before and during performance. The placebo group, on the other hand, had no positive effects in containing anxiety and maintained a sense of discomfort during public performances.   Is able to stimulate the appetite : the interaction with our endocannabinoid system means that CBD can stimulate the appetite in cases of severe lack of appetite due to pathologies or perhaps eating disorders. CBD in low doses can also help a lot in fighting nausea, being a natural antiemetic.   Can significantly improve sleep quality : thanks to its ability to interact with CB1 receptors, CBD can be very useful in case of sleep disorders. CBD can promote the moment of falling asleep, improve the phase of REM sleep and reduce the problem of frequent nocturnal awakenings.   it is an excellent supplement for those who practice sports : its anti-inflammatory action helps in cases of contractures, tears or acute pain. It is useful for containing pre-competition performance anxiety and acts as a tonic after a long effort.   Strengthens the immune system if used consistently and regularly : the presence of omega 3 and omega 6, vitamins and antioxidants, make it a complete supplement for dealing with seasonal changes, post-flu moments and periods of acute stress.   CBD oil can, used for skin use , help in case of psoriasis and acne but also act as an anti-aging agent thanks to its strong antioxidant action.   What are the possible side effects of CBD?   Numerous studies have tried to investigate the potential effects of CBD even in the case of bulk dosages. As it is often used in a clinical setting, it was not particularly difficult to observe its positive and negative effects.   Importantly, even in cases of overdose, no serious side effects have ever been reported, nor have any cases of cannabis sativa overdose ever been reported.   However, in addition to the numerous positive effects there could be, only when CBD is used in the therapeutic field and therefore at very high dosages, could it cause some negative effects , which it is always better to have present so as not to be unprepared.   Here are the main side effects that CBD can cause when used in very high doses:   Dry mouth : CBD can affect the behavior of the salivary glands by causing a slight and temporary dryness that can be easily countered by hydrating with water, juices and herbal teas.   Somnolence : In cases of very high doses, the effect of CBD can be soporific. It is not a debilitating problem and above all it is temporary. The important thing is to avoid driving or taking actions that require our full attention.   Changes in appetite : since appetite is closely linked to the work of CB1 receptors, it is possible that CBD alters the sense of hunger. It may increase or decrease the sense of hunger. Often at low dosages there is an increase in appetite. Conversely, at high dosages there is a decrease in appetite and a slight sense of nausea may also appear. We are obviously talking about important dosages, used only in the therapeutic field. However, this is a temporary effect, which can be remedied by remodeling the doses of the active ingredient.   Low blood pressure : CBD can, when used in large doses, lower blood pressure. It can therefore be useful for those suffering from hypertension. On the other hand, it is good to always consult a doctor first before using it if you tend to suffer from low blood pressure.   Vertigo : CBD in high dosages could cause a sense of dizziness and fatigue that can be controlled and prevented by using it in an extremely gradual way and by monitoring its effects on patients.   Skin Irritation : Used on the skin, CBD may in very rare cases cause redness or irritation. It is therefore advisable to try it first on a very small part of the body to check that there are no negative effects   During pregnancy and breastfeeding it is highly not recommended to take cannabis.     CBD could, in fact, like other cannabinoids, have negative effects on the fetus. Furthermore, CBD could also be synthesized in breast milk, which is why it is highly not recommended to use it throughout the breastfeeding period.   All the side effects we have listed are not serious , are temporary and do not involve any kind of long-term adverse effects.   Read also: Are you looking for CBG Vape Cartridge in Mooresville Nc   The effects of CBD while we sleep   Many people suffer from insomnia , a complex disorder that can present different nuances, but which in most cases can negatively affect everyday life. Cannabis sativa has been under study since about 1975 and investigating the potential effects it could have on insomnia.   CBD, especially CBD oil, one of its purest forms, can affect and improve sleep quality naturally. CBD can improve sleep quality due to its ability to interact with CB1 receptors and stimulate serotonin.   The positive effects of this process are the lowering of anxiety and stress , two of the main causes of insomnia. In addition, CBD can significantly improve the REM sleep phase and help avoid nocturnal awakenings. Thanks to its anxiolytic, relaxing and soothing effects, CBD can also be very useful for taking only easily.   Considering CBD as a remedy for better sleep can be an effective and saving choice.   Can CBD be taken with other drugs?   CBD is an extremely safe cannabinoid, however, if you are taking any other medications, it is advisable to always consult your doctor before starting to use it. CBD could, in fact, interact with other drugs, in particular CBD can affect the hepatic metabolism of the CytP450 family. This family of enzymes, of which CBD can be an important inhibitor, deals with the metabolism of different drugs. The following conditions could therefore occur, which would be best avoided although they are not necessarily side effects:   The effects of CBD could be enhanced by interaction with other drugs that inhibit the action of the CytP450 family of enzymes by slowing down the metabolism of CBD. Among these drugs are antivirals, antifungals, antihypertensives, anti-tuberculosis drugs and antibiotics that contain clarithromycin and erythromycin.   The effects of CBD could be reduced by all those drugs that induce CytP450 thus increasing the metabolism of CBD. The main drugs in question are antibiotics such as rifampicin and rifabutin and some antiepileptics such as phenytoin, primidone, carbamazepine and phenobarbital. It is also advisable to beware of antidiabetics and St. John's wort, which is one of the most common antidepressants.   CBD may enhance the effect of some antipsychotic, anticoagulant and gastroprotective drugs, such as risperidone, warfarin and diclofenac.   The greatest evidence we have on how CBD could affect the intake of chemicals in drugs comes from the numerous studies done on CBD and antiepileptic drugs . With the approval and marketing of Epidiolex, a CBD-based antiepileptic drug, several studies have focused on its safety and efficacy. Studies have shown that when taken concomitantly with other medications, CBD can cause an increase in rufinamide, topiramate, zonisamide and a metabolite of clobazam, which could cause an increased sedative effect in some patients.   We can conclude by saying that CBD can interfere with the metabolism of different drugs, obviously the interaction depends so much on the dosages, both of the CBD and of the drugs in question. We therefore reiterate the fundamental importance of always consulting a doctor before use.
