Hello, this is Naoko Miyazaki from Milobina.
CBD has the power to restore and adjust your disordered physical condition. It is well known that it can improve sleep disorders, fatigue, and stress, but numerous studies have shown that it can also be effective in suppressing pain. What are the most common uses for CBD in the United States?"Pain Reduction"It seems that it is.
I'm also one of those people who think, ``I'm so glad I used CBD!'' My sciatica, which I've been suffering from for many years, is almost gone. I'm sure there are many people reading this blog who are also suffering from pain.
In this blog, I would like to introduce the analgesic effect of CBD.
23.15 million Japanese people suffer from chronic pain
Pain is an indispensable function for humans to live, alerting us to unwell areas such as wounds and inflammation in the body. Of course, if there is a cause, it's best to resolve it, but you can't just put up with the pain until then.
As a result of a large-scale survey (2010) of men and women over the age of 20, conducted by a pharmaceutical company called Mundipharma,1 in 4.4 Japanese adultsIt was revealed that 23.15 million people, or 23.15 million people, suffer from chronic pain, and 70% of them do not have adequate pain relief.
By the way, the number one disease/symptom that causes chronic pain is lower back pain (55.7%), the second place is frozen shoulder/frozen shoulder/stiff shoulder (27.9%), and the third place is headache/migraine (20.7%). was.
CBD is less effective than anti-inflammatory analgesics, but has no side effects or dependence.
When the pain is painful, a common way to deal with it is to take painkillers (anti-inflammatory analgesics), but there are also concerns about side effects such as drowsiness.
Cancer patients often suffer from pain caused by the spread of the tumor, as well as neuralgia and joint pain as a side effect of anticancer drugs, and in these cases, opioid painkillers are often used. but,Numerous side effects including vomiting, constipation, drowsiness, hallucinations, and respiratory depressionthere is.
Opioid analgesics also become less effective over time.Resistance, mental or physicalDependenceis also a concern.
Compared to these analgesics, CBD's analgesic effect is not as high, but it has the advantage of having no side effects or dependence.
Actually, I also have a sensitive stomach, and using loxoprofen causes severe nausea, so when I have pain, I only use painkillers that are less effective but have fewer side effects.CBD does not cause nausea or drowsinessSo I use it with confidence on a regular basis.
Analgesics are not effective against neuralgia
"Neuralgia" is pain (including numbness) felt when sensory nerves are stimulated and become abnormally excited for some reason. Typical neuralgia include sciatica, intercostal neuralgia, cervical spondylosis, postherpetic neuralgia, and diabetic neuropathy.
Common anti-inflammatory analgesics are not effective against neuralgia.Therefore, ``neuropathic pain treatment drugs'' that relieve pain by suppressing the excessive release of pain-transmitting substances (neurotransmitters) may be prescribed. these areAntiepileptic and antidepressant drugsIt is also a drug used as
CBD has the effect of suppressing abnormal excitability of nerve cells and relieving neuralgia.It is believed that many studies have been carried out worldwide.
Until now, in this blog, I have talked about how CBD regulates the body."Endocannabinoid system"As I mentioned earlier, the role of cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) produced within the body is to suppress the abnormal excitement of nerve cells.
aging and stressThe endogenous cannabinoids that have been reduced are called phytocannabinoids.Supplement with CBDBy that,Possibility of reducing neuralgiaIt is believed that there is.
It is natural that medicines have efficacy and side effects, and I think it is good to understand them properly and use them wisely, but there are people who experience strong side effects.Try CBD to improve your healthIt might be good too.
