Understanding CBD Oil

CBD, which stands for “cannabidiol,” is a substance found naturally in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is different from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in that it does not make you feel “high” or give you psychoactive effects. The oil is usually made from industrial hemp plants, which have a lot of CBD and not much THC.

How CBD Oil and Cancer Are Connected

CBD oil is not a cure for cancer. This is very important to remember. Cancer is a complicated disease with many different kinds and stages that need full medical care. However, some studies have looked into how CBD oil might affect cancer cells and the side effects of cancer treatment.

CBD Oil and Cancer

Cannabis is the Latin name for hemp, a plant that enjoys special interest because of the psychological and physical effects. Ever since ancient times, it has been a popular herbal remedy for calming, analgesic, antidepressant, sleep-inducing, nausea-suppressing, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and appetite-inducing properties. The best-known cannabis products are marijuana (weed) and hash, but CBD (Cannabidiol) is gaining popularity and people are slowly opening up towards the medicinal properties of hemp.

The active ingredient of Cannabis

The active ingredients of cannabis are the so-called cannabinoids. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the most abundant. THC is the psychoactive ingredient that makes users high or stoned. CBD mitigates the effects of THC, has an antipsychotic effect and seems to protect against addiction. The ratio between THC and CBD determines the effects and side effects of cannabis.

Medicinal cannabis for Cancer

there are sufficient scientific data that shows that cannabis can be effective to help:

• Pain caused by cancer
• Multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic bowel inflammation
• Nausea, loss of appetite, weakening in treatment of cancer and AIDS
• Nausea and vomiting due to medication or radiation in cancer,
• Muscle cramps and muscle twitches in multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury
• Prolonged nerve pain, ex. due to damage to a neural pathway, phantom pain, facial pain or chronic pain that persists after healing of shingles
• Tics in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome
• Therapy-resistant glaucoma

Can CBD oil cure cancer?

CBD alone can not cure cancer. The active cannabinoids in the cannabis plant are like your internal endocannabinosystemid  (ECS). Your body's endocannabinoids are responsible for keeping your body in balance. When your body is out of balance and in a state of stress, your endocannabinoids work, over time, to correct this imbalance. The endocannabinoids in the cannabis plant enable your body to restore this balance, which is one of the reasons why cannabis works so well for you if you have cancer.

The whole plant is needed when helping to treat cancer, and this includes THC. THC encapsulates the cancer cells and makes them “commit suicide” which then keeps them from mutating and grow. Not every cancer patient want to feel high or stoned for weeks, which is where CBD comes into action. CBD counteracts the feeling of being high or stones so that the patient can actually function in everyday life.

Side Effects of Cannabis for Cancer

As all cancers are different, some can be treated quickly, whereas others take time and cause a lot of discomfort and pain. Cancer not only affects you as an individual but it also your family and friends. It's crucial to have the best quality of life you possibly can while you're fighting the disease. Gentle and effective treatments, like cannabis, can contribute to a better quality of life.

The Real CBD has a 60% CBD/CBDa paste available for exactly this purpose. It is available in an easy to dose syringe with a lid. Best stored in the refrigerator for the exact dosage.

CBD Oil and Getting Rid of Symptoms

People who are being treated for cancer often have side effects like pain, feeling sick, throwing up, and losing their hunger. CBD oil has been studied to see if it could help ease these effects and make cancer patients' lives better. Researchers think that CBD works with the body's endocannabinoid system, which helps control pain, hunger, and mood.

Several studies have shown that using CBD oil to ease the pain of cancer is a good idea. Because CBD has anti-inflammatory properties, it may help lessen pain and inflammation, making people feel better. CBD has also been shown to stop nausea and vomiting, which could make treatment less likely to cause sickness.

Also, CBD oil might help cancer patients eat more. CBD may help bring back a healthy appetite, which is often lost during treatment for cancer. It does this by working with receptors in the endocannabinoid system.

Cancer cells cannabidiol oil

Even though study is still in its early stages, there are signs that CBD oil may be able to fight cancer. Some studies on cell cultures and animal models have shown that CBD can stop the growth and spread of some cancer cells, such as those that cause breast, lung, and colon cancer.

CBD oil is thought to have anticancer benefits because it can cause programmed cell death (apoptosis), stop new blood vessels from growing to support tumour growth (angiogenesis), and stop cancer cells from moving and spreading. But it's important to remember that these studies are only the beginning, and more research is needed to confirm these results.

Conclusion

In conclusion, CBD oil has the ability to help cancer patients deal with their symptoms by easing pain, reducing nausea and vomiting, and making them want to eat. Some early studies show that CBD oil may help fight cancer, but it is important to take these results with a grain of salt and wait for more research. Cancer care should always be overseen by a doctor, and CBD oil should be thought of as a way to treat cancer along with other therapies, not as the only treatment.
