The benefits of CBD for Multiple Sclerosis are being explored by many patients who suffer from the condition. What exactly is Multiple Sclerosis? Mayo Clinic defines MS as a potentially disabling inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in which the immune system attacks the protective sheath of the brain. Signs and symptoms vary widely between patients, and there is no cure for the disease. Because of the wide variety of symptoms, MS symptoms may be very difficult for patients to manage. The burning question is, can CBD help decrease some of these symptoms? This article will discuss the possible benefits of CBD on multiple sclerosis, as well as the various methods of CBD.
CBD
CBD has shown promising effects against inflammatory diseases, including Multiple Sclerosis. Cannabidiol affects the metabolic enzymes that regulate inflammation and decreases the number of blood leukocytes. It also increases the bioavailability of anti-epileptic drugs. When combined with traditional treatment, CBD can help reduce side effects and treatment costs. But the question remains, can CBD really help Multiple Sclerosis sufferers? Let's take a closer look.
In addition to its potential benefit as a therapeutic agent for Multiple Sclerosis, CBD has anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties. Studies of cannabinoid-based therapies for MS have demonstrated that combining CBD with THC may improve symptoms of spasticity and other related conditions. A review of these studies shows that patients treated with a combination of THC and CBD also experienced fewer adverse effects. CBD for Multiple Sclerosis can also be an option for a patient who cannot take medication.
Research suggests that inhaling CBD may improve spasticity in people with Multiple Sclerosis. It is estimated that 80 percent of MS patients suffer from spasticity, and a substantial proportion are dissatisfied with the limited efficacy of classical antispasticity medications.
While the benefits of using CBD as a treatment for MS are still in its early stages, studies have shown that it can slow the progression of the disease. Patients with MS can also benefit from other medical treatments because CBD has therapeutic effects on the body. MS patients may experience pain, muscle soreness, exhaustion, spasticity, mobility problems, restlessness, and sleep disorders. The benefits of CBD are more profound than just a relief from the symptoms of the disease.
CBD may help manage pain, reduce muscle spasticity, and combat fatigue. But if this is true, CBD may also help improve the mental health of people with MS. As with all forms of treatment, living with MS can be a heavy burden on the mind. Some people with MS experience depression, and many other symptoms associated with the disease.
CBD Inhalation
CBD inhalation can be achieved in a number of ways. Firstly, there is CBD or hemp flower which can be smoked, and there is also a CBD vape pen which can be taken anywhere and smoked at any time. Inhalation can be a great way to achieve the benefits of CBD almost instantly, providing quick relief.
Mother Earth Natural Health has a wonderful selection of CBD flower, as well as vape pens to help get relief as quickly as possible.
CBD Oil
While the benefits of using CBD as a treatment for MS are still in its early stages, studies have shown that it can slow the progression of the disease. Patients with MS can also benefit from other medical treatments because CBD has therapeutic effects on the body.
The benefits of CBD oil for MS are well-known, but it is important to take the right dosage to manage symptoms. Patients may need to re-titrate their CBD oil dosage if they experience changes in their condition or if they experience adverse reactions. It's recommended to talk to a healthcare professional or The CBD Experts to get the correct dosage.
CBD oil is taken sublingually and held under the tongue for 30-90 seconds so it can get to the bloodstream quicker than digestion. CBD oil is a great option for patients that don’t want to take more medication, smoke or eat a CBD edible. Mother Earth Natural Health has a wonderful variety of CBD oils that can be taken sublingually. These oils are available online and in-store, where The CBD Experts can give you the proper dosing suggestion.
CBD Topicals
Topical CBD products are a way to apply cannabinoids directly to painful areas. For patients with multiple sclerosis, pain in the muscles, nerves, and joints may be particularly severe. Topical CBD helps to control pain by applying it to the targeted pain area.
CBD topicals come in various forms, including lotions, balms, ointments, and even bath bombs. They also come in different strengths, making it easier to get a higher dosage for pain relief.
Mother Earth Natural Health has a wide variety of CBD topicals to help with targeted pain relief in patients suffering from MS. The CBD Experts can help patients find the right CBD topical to use for pain relief.
Evidence
Although the evidence for CBD for MS is still limited, CBD is federally legal in all US states. Animal studies have shown that CBD inhibits the inflammatory response in MS patients, limiting T lymphocyte infiltration into the brain and the circulation of pro-inflammatory molecules. Some studies even suggest that CBD can prevent or reverse the symptoms of MS in certain people. These studies are ongoing. CBD is not currently available in any pharmaceutical form for treating MS. However, it is available in a variety of forms, including hemp oil, tincture, and capsules. The CBD Experts at Mother Earth Natural Health can help you find the best delivery method for your relief.
CBD and Multiple Sclerosis
Although there is no established clinical trial, CBD has been shown to reduce inflammation and improve neurologic function in animal models. Further, studies suggest that CBD may be useful for treating the inflammatory response that leads to symptoms of MS.
A common misconception about CBD is that it is psychoactive. But this is far from the truth. This non-psychoactive compound has numerous medicinal benefits. Its effects on multiple sclerosis are complex and vary according to the location of the attacks and the extent of damage to the myelin sheath. In general, patients with MS experience muscle weakness, fatigue, and cognitive dysfunction. But unlike other psychoactive substances, CBD does not produce the high that marijuana does. CBD also shows to be an effective symptom suppressant for MS and should be considered as a treatment option.
In the following section, we will talk about the best products to help with Multiple Sclerosis at Mother Earth Natural Health. Jessica, one of our team members, suffers from MS and these are her top picks. Multiple Sclerosis can be different for everyone. It’s important to speak with your healthcare professional if you plan on taking CBD to help with MS to ensure there are no drug interactions with what you may be currently taking.
