CBD oil is growing increasingly popular to treat pain in today’s world, but it is not a new phenomenon as it has been found to have been used as a natural remedy across China, more than 6,000 years ago [1]. CBD oil can interact with neurotransmitters in the body and act as an inflammatory, just like ibuprofen and aspirin, causing pain relief for nerve damage and joint pain. It has also been shown to treat conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and even multiple sclerosis[2].
