Can CBD Replace Traditional Pain Meds?

CBD or Cannabidiol extracted from the Cannabis plant is steadily growing in popularity as a natural treatment for pain relief, ranging from headaches, lower back and joint pain to pain endured with cancer and fibromyalgia.

More and more people prefer a healthy, natural approach to pain relief rather than using standard pain medication with the known side effects of liver and kidney damage and dependency. In fact, Cannabis has been used in Eastern medicine for thousands of years.

You could ask, how can one plant have such an effect on our bodies?

We have an endocannabinoid system with thousands of receptors all over our bodies and CBD has been proven to engage and activate these receptors. CBD encourages the body to create more of its own cannabinoids. When we increase the amount of receptors that are activated, it decreases the pain signals to our brain.

CBD also reduces inflammation by decreasing the production of cytokines and reduces anxiety associated with pain.

A 2019 consumer survey by CBD Intel found that pain relief was the most popular reason for using CBD, and the EU CBD consumer report showed that 40% of respondents across Europe citied pain management as their main reason for using CBD
