Nature CBD Organics Review
by Diana Joseph004 (2019-01-17)
For many people experiencing chronic pain, cannabidiol (CBD) oil has steadily gained popularity as a natural approach to pain relief. A compound found in the marijuana plant, cannabidiol is sometimes touted as an alternative to pain medication in the treatment of common conditions like arthritis and back pain. The use of cannabis for pain relief dates back to ancient China, according to a report published in the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research. It’s thought that CBD oil might help ease chronic pain in part by reducing inflammation. In addition, CBD oil is said to promote sounder sleep and, in turn, treat sleep disruption commonly experienced by people with chronic pain. It’s important to note that many CBD oil products do not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC, the compound responsible for producing the “high” associated with marijuana use). Unlike THC, cannabidiol is non-intoxicating and does not have psychoactive effects.
