Benefits and Uses of CBD Oil
                     Benefits and 
Uses of CBD Oil 
Offset Anxiety and Depression
CBD’s ability to calm is perhaps its most popular effect and the reason its 
use is so widespread. A 2017 study in the Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry 
tested the anxiety levels of 57 men in a simulated public speaking test. 
Some received a placebo while others received either 150 milligrams, 300 
milligrams or 600 milligrams of CBD before their speeches. Those who 
received 300 milligrams of CBD experienced significantly reduced anxiety 
during the test compared to those who received the placebo. Interestingly, 
participants who received either 150 or 600 milligrams of CBD experienced 
more anxiety during the test than the 300 milligrams group.
Treat Select Epilepsy Syndromes
In some instances, CBD can be used to treat epileptic seizures.
In 2018, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of CBD 
under the brand name Epidiolex to treat seizures resulting from Lennox-
Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome—two rare forms of epilepsy—in 
patients at least 2 years old.
Reduce PTSD Symptoms
In a small 2018 study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary 
Medicine, 11 people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) received 
CBD along with routine psychiatric care for eight weeks in an outpatient 
psychiatric clinic. Ten of the 11 experienced a decrease in their PTSD 
symptoms. CBD was generally well tolerated, the researchers write.
Margaret Rajnic, a doctor of nursing practice experienced in medical 
cannabis and CBD, emphasizes the importance of using therapy in tandem 
with any type of cannabis or CBD for PTSD. “There is an amount of therapy 
that is needed for PTSD,” she says. “But CBD will give you that little bit of 
decreased anxiety.”
Treat Opioid Addiction
Some studies—both preclinical animal and human clinical trials—suggest 
CBD could be used to help treat people who are dependent on opioids.
In one such study, researchers administered CBD to people with heroin use 
disorder. Over the course of a week, CBD significantly reduced heroin users’ 
cue-induced cravings, withdrawal anxiety, resting heart rate and salivary 
cortisol levels. No serious adverse effects were found.
Alleviate ALS Symptoms
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that causes nerve cells in 
the brain and spinal cord to deteriorate, resulting in loss of muscle control 
that worsens over time. It’s not yet understood exactly why ALS occurs, 
although it can be hereditary in some cases. There’s no known cure, and 
there are only two FDA-approved medications to help treat ALS symptoms.
Relieve Unmanageable Pain
In 2005, Canada approved the use of Sativex, an oromucosal (absorbed in 
the lining of the mouth) spray with equal proportions of THC and CBD, for 
the treatment of multiple sclerosis-related central neuropathic pain. In 
2007, Canada approved the medicine’s use again for cancer pain that 
proved unresponsive to other medications.
Ease Diabetic Complications 
For starters, tests on human cells found that CBD helps reduce the effects 
of high glucose levels on other cells in the body, which typically precedes 
the development of diabetes and various complications. Researchers 
concluded that with further studies, CBD could have significant benefits 
when used in patients with diabetes, diabetic complications and plaque 
buildup in artery walls.
