CBD types
CBD oil is extracted from hemp seeds by using heat treatment. Cannabidiol, also called hemp extract oil, is a strong, non-psychoactive, non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid found in hemp plants. It makes up about 40% of hemp seeds and accounts for more than 40% of the plant's total extract. This compound has numerous medical benefits and is currently being used to treat several ailments.
According to a study published in the journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, CBD oil is effective in reducing hyperactivity and improving learning and memory in children. The drug has been successfully applied to treat children with Dravet syndrome and Tourette's syndrome as well.
Besides that, studies show that CBD oil may help in preventing and/or treating Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, depression, sleep disorders, anxiety, and pain relief. One of the most interesting results from this study was that it is able to prevent or reduce the symptoms of panic attacks. It appears that CBD is capable of inhibiting the release of dopamine in the brain. Therefore, it can decrease the effects of stress on the body. CBD can also be used as a mood stabilizer or antidepressant.
In animals, studies have shown that CBD can significantly improve the functions of the immune system, regulate appetite, and decrease inflammation. The ability to reduce inflammation has been clinically proven in animals. It has also been found to be effective in preventing the progression of Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. A recent study, in fact, showed that CBD was capable of slowing the decline of mental abilities in a human patient.
However, there are still clinical trials ongoing to determine the long-term side effects of CBD oil. Many researchers and scientists are also searching for more potent extracts of CBD oil, so that it will be possible to effectively relieve more ailments.
Some people, who have tried CBD oil, claim that they never feel drowsy while taking the drug, even if they are tired and feeling sluggish. Other people claim that their brain activity is increased while on the drug, although this effect was not measured. Some users claimed that their moods were improved while on the drug, but their memory was decreased, while others claimed that their eyesight was increased. They all mentioned feeling happier and more energetic after taking CBD oil.
Studies show that it has no side effects at all. However, users of CBD oil may experience some mild headaches and dizziness. Some of these reported changes did not last. Some people had also experienced nausea, and others were not able to tolerate the drug after just one dose.
As for humans, people who used the drug are experiencing fewer side effects than those who have taken synthetic drugs. Because of the lack of side effects, the use of CBD oil is considered to be safer.
