Ancient Greeks used hemp plant for natural pain relief
CBD oil, also known as Hemp Plant Extract, is a natural treatment against many everyday aches and pains. The healing powers of hemp go all the way back to 2700 B.C., when the Ancient Greeks used it to treat pain, anxiety, inflammation, insomnia, memory loss and a host of other conditions. These include, but aren’t limited to knee, joint and shoulder pain. Also headaches, backaches and muscle spasms to name a few.
Contrary to what many might think, CBD oil does not contain the psychoactive compound THC, which gives the user the “high” feeling. Hemp and marijuana are both in the Cannabis family, but hemp seed does not contain the psychoactive compound, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), that marijuana does. CBD consumers receive all the great health benefits without receiving the “high.” Hemp is also 100 percent legal in all 50 states and the U.S government has quickly patented the product. The U.S patent stipulates hemp as a potent antioxidant, anti-seizure, anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory and protects your entire body from free radical damage. The patent also states hemp extract helps blood and oxygen flow to the brain, protecting cell damage and supporting healthy vision!
Many well-known professional athletes also use Hemp Extract to feel relief from their pain. Jake Plummer, a star quarterback for the Denver Broncos, as well as Eugene Monroe and Jim McMahon have all used Hemp extract and reported their relief from pain and ease the stiffness in their joints.
Hemp extract is known to be completely safe and non-addictive, and well tolerated by adults. Hemp also has added health benefits which help your entire bodies’ health. These include protecting against skin rashes and infections, promoting calm and restful sleep, supporting blood sugar health, and easing indigestion and nausea.
“The use of CBD treatment for my patients has been very positive. Patients who were once considering harsh pain pills or surgery have found an alternative that has greatly helped manage and relieve their pain and enjoy the simple tasks of their daily lives” according to Dr. Mary Kashurba, of Discover Optimal Healthcare in Brookhaven. Dr. Kashurba also notes that her integrated medical facility offers the highest strength CBD on the market, with no prescription required.
CBD treatment also comes in many forms. Extracts, edibles, oral sprays, topicals and as a vap product. The most common being as an oil, which is ingested orally or as a topical lotion, which is for targeted pain relief.
