Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and CBD Oil

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and CBD Oil

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that is not fully understood. It is thought to be a condition that is triggered by genetic and environmental factors. What we do know is that it is a slow-progressing neurodegenerative disorder affecting the insulation around nerve cells. As the insulation breaks down, the nerve cells lose their ability to transmit electrical signals to other areas of the brain and body. Since there is no cure for MS, most treatment options aim to slow progression and ease symptoms. Many sufferers have found relief in CBD Oil, both the tinctures taken internally and topicals for pain relief.  Keep in mind that this blog's information is an informational guide and should never be considered medical advice.  

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease with numerous symptoms. They can range from fatigue, pain, inflammation, weakness, muscle tightness, cognitive impairment, spasms, itchiness, nerve pain, trouble walking, and headaches, to name a few. Multiple Sclerosis symptoms are varied treatment options can be frustrating, resulting in trial and error with each symptom treated separately. The good news for MS sufferers is that several symptoms can be managed with CBD. There are limited clinical trial data about CBD oil's therapeutic effects on people diagnosed with MS. However, experts believe that CBD may reduce symptoms in people with MS, decreasing their need for prescription medications with side effects and high costs.

How does CBD work to alleviate the symptoms? Cannabidiol, or CBD, works through receptors located throughout the endocannabinoid system. There are two receptors CB1and CB2. CB1 receptors work in the brain, and  CB2 receptors regulate pain and inflammation.  Recent studies have found that nearly all autoimmune diseases are associated with an abnormal function of CB2 receptors. CBD enhances and activates CB2 receptors resulting in decreased pain and inflammation throughout the body.

There have been numerous studies conducted on cannabis and cannabis-derived products in treating inflammation and pain. Since MS targets the nerves, much of the chronic pain associated with the disease stems from the nervous system. Fortunately, research on CBD and neuropathic pain has yielded some promising results.  CBD oil can be a powerful tool in managing pain, with the benefits far outweighing the side effects. In general, CBD is well-tolerated, but it can cause side effects, including dry mouth, diarrhea, reduced appetite, and fatigue. CBD can help to reduce nerve inflammation, reduces muscle spasms, alleviates nerve pain. If you suffer from MS, you might want to contact a cannabis doctor who specializes in the use of CBD as a medical treatment.
