Acne is a common skin condition that is said to affect around 90% of the world’s population and is caused by an excess of a natural oily substance called sebum production. The anti-inflammatory properties of our CBD cream and the ability to reduce this sebum production can help reduce signs of acne. As well as reducing acne, CBD oil has been shown to help treat other skin conditions such as Epidermolysis bullosa[1] and psoriasis[2].

Those who take medication to treat anxiety and depression often experience a number of side effects such as nausea, insomnia, fatigue and drowsiness and these medications can often be addictive and lead to substance abuse. Research has shown that CBD oil is an effective alternative to these pharmaceutical medications as it has the ability to interact with your brain’s receptors, in particular your serotonin levels and poses considerably less side effects[1]. As well as interacting with serotonin levels, CBD oil can reduce symptoms of insomnia and PTSD-related sleep disturbances[2], aiding a better night’s sleep.

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].

What is CBD?

So what is CBD? CBD is what cannabidiol is more commonly known as.

Cannabidiol is a popular natural remedy used for many common ailments, and it is one of over 100 chemical compounds known as cannabinoids found in the cannabis or marijuana plant, Cannabis sativa (1Trusted Source).

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis, and causes the sensation of getting “high” that’s often associated with marijuana. However, unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive.

This quality makes CBD an appealing option for those who are looking for relief from pain and other symptoms without the mind-altering effects of marijuana or certain pharmaceutical drugs.

CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil.

It’s gaining momentum in the health and wellness world, with some scientific studies confirming it may ease symptoms of ailments like chronic pain and anxiety.

Here are seven health benefits of CBD oil that are backed by scientific evidence.

Can Relieve Pain
Could Reduce Anxiety and Depression
Can Alleviate Cancer-Related Symptoms
May Reduce Acne
Might have Neuroprotective properties
Could Benefit Heart Health
Several Other Potential benefits
