The natural properties of CBD in the treatment of joint pain
Have you ever heard of the virtues of CBD on joint pain? Cannabidiol, a molecule derived from hemp, has many benefits. We tell you more in this article.
Where does joint pain come from?
Joint pain is often due to osteoarthritis. The cartilages wear out with time and cause increasingly painful sensations. Osteoarthritis can affect the elderly but also overweight people as well as athletes who put excessive strain on their joints. The term arthralgia is used to describe pain related to osteoarthritis. Joint pain can also be caused by trauma, inflammation of the joints (arthritis), crystal deposits (gout) or even infections.
Sometimes, joint stiffness and tissue inflammation lead to a loss of mobility and independence in daily activities. All of these ailments paralyze you with pain and wear you down. Nevertheless, joint disorders are not a fatality and there are many effective solutions to overcome joint pain.
Fighting joint pain with CBD
There has been interest for some time in the effects of CBD on pain. Indeed, many people have seen an improvement in their daily well-being through the use of CBD-based oils or capsules.
How does CBD work on the body and the nervous system?
The human body has cannabinoid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system (CB1), as well as in the cells of the immune system (CB2) through which signals arrive, including those of pain, mood or stress.
Because it stimulates these same endocannabinoid receptors, CBD is extremely effective against inflammatory pain. CBD acts as a natural sedative on pain receptors. In other words, CBD has a tremendous natural potential to fight inflammatory and neuropathic pain, thanks to its immunosuppressive effects on microglial cells and macrophages, whose role helps to preserve the body from infections.
The benefits of CBD without addiction
The CBD-based products we offer are THC-free, meaning they do not contain the psychoactive molecule found in hemp. One can thus benefit from the virtues of CBD without any dependence nor side effect or psychotropic.
Formulas based on CBD, CBC, CGB, CBN and essential oils against pain
In order to potentiate the benefits of hemp, it is particularly interesting to combine its different molecules: CBD (cannabidiol), CBG (cannabigerol), CBN (cannabinol) and CBC (cannabichromene).
It is in this spirit that Swissbiol has designed specific and exclusive formulas to help fight even more effectively against joint pain and inflammation. Thus, the combination of different molecules contained in hemp and essential oils carefully selected and dosed, give our CBD oils their full potential.
If CBD is known in the natural treatment of pain, it is because of its various properties:
CBD has anti-inflammatory properties:
Continuous pain can cause some inflammation. By acting on the central nervous system, CBD can act effectively.
CBD has analgesic properties:
By acting on the receptors of the central nervous system, the signals of pain decrease. The CBD helps to fight against the feelings of pain.
CBD has anxiolytic properties:
By calming the body and relaxing it, CBD helps to relax the body and thus reduce the sensation of pain, promote a state of calm and serenity, gain better sleep and comfort in everyday life.
CBD has antioxidant properties:
CBD helps protect cells from oxidation and limit the formation of free radicals.
CBD for joint pain in animals
If CBD helps relieve pain in humans, it is also the case for animals. By using CBD oils specifically dosed, it is possible to bring our cats and dogs a better comfort in everyday life.
In the field of joint pain, CBD can really help. These are all qualities that make its effectiveness and success in the treatment of acute and chronic pain, joint pain, neuropathic pain and even certain diseases such as cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's, epilepsy or multiple sclerosis. In the long run, CBD allows to avoid the use of drugs that are harmful to health.
