You may have already experienced the benefits of using CBD to tackle inflammation and pain. Or you may have yet to try it.
But did you know why CBD is so good at tackling pain, specifically nerve related pain? Read on to find how CBD does this exactly, and why you need to know.
CBD interacts with your body’s Endocannabinoid system, ‘ECS’ for short.
SO, WHAT IS THE ECS?
The ECS is like your body’s control centre for managing pain and stress.
It uses natural “keys” to fit into “locks” (receptors on nerves) throughout your body, helping to turn down pain signals and keep you feeling balanced.
The ECS works especially great at helping with nerve pain because it works directly with your nervous system, where this pain starts. CBD, a key ingredient in our product, acts like a helper for this system.
It doesn’t directly fit into the locks but makes sure the natural keys stick around longer, extending your body’s natural pain relief. This is backed up by a recent landmark study.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE: CBD & TURMERIC FOR PAIN OR INFLAMMATION
Now, with added turmeric, our 30% CBD Oil product is even better.
According to the University of Pitsburgh, Turmeric works differently to CBD by reducing inflammation and supporting the overall system, making the ECS more effective.
Together, CBD and turmeric create a powerful combo to help you manage pain more effectively.
CBD OIL STUDY
One important study took place to find out how much CBD oil could help when treating patients suffering from a type of nerve pain that mainly affects the feet and legs (peripheral neuropathy).
The researchers wanted to know whether topical application of CBD oil would help to ease pain levels caused by this type of nerve pain.
What can be Said About the Study?
They recruited 29 patients and divided them into two groups: one of them took a CBD oil with 250 mg CBD while the other one took a placebo oil.
Assessment was done on the patients for four weeks with the pain level being assessed after every two weeks.
What Did They Find?
The results were promising. The group of patients who were given CBD oil had better improvement in sharp pain, severe pain and discomfort like cold feet and itching, compared to the placebo group.
Most importantly, none of the patients in this study complained of negative side effects when using CBD oil.
TURMERIC STUDY
Curcumin is a natural compound that has been investigated for pain-relieving effects. In this study it was looked at for nerve pain and post-surgical pain.
Modern painkillers like opioids are known to have negative side effects including addiction. This review included both animal and human trials to see how effective curcumin really is.
What can be Said About the Study?
One of the most common problems that affect many people especially after operations is post surgical pain. Curcumin has potential to relieve such pain without causing negative side effects according to this study.
What Did They Find?
Curcumin has also been tested in animal models where it was seen to ease nerve pain due from diabetes and chemotherapy. It worked by decreasing inflammation and increasing antioxidant levels.
Unfortunately curcumin does not easily absorb into the human body and so new and better ways to take it are a hot topic of research.
When tested on human beings in clinical trials curcumin was shown to help with inflammation post dental surgeries. Those using curcumin experienced slight pain and required less traditional pain relieving medications than others in the study.
Curcumin has the potential to act as an alternative natural pain killer particularly in the cases of chronic and post operative pain.
But more research is needed to boost its effectiveness in the body, especially when compared to other traditional pain killers.
THE SYNERGY OF BOTH
The demand for natural relief from pain has become more popular with substances such as CBD (Cannabidiol) among the most known additions to the masses, but now a new ingredient is being added to the mix – turmeric.
When combined, together with CBD oil, turmeric dispenses active ingredients that could help your recovery from pain and inflammation.
Derived from the hemp plant, CBD has gained fame, providing a potential in helping alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve one’s general being without any of the associated psychoactive effects found in cannabis.
On the other side of this pairing is Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric. This has strong anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as pain relief for those looking for holistic, plant-based alternatives to traditional pain-killers.
THE BENEFITS OF CBD OIL + TURMERIC
The combination of CBD and turmeric may have the potential to draw out the synergistic effects that each also carries in helping to ease anti-inflammation and pain. Here is an examination into how the two plants work together:
Anti-Inflammatory Action: CBD and turmeric together are viewed likely to act as an inhibition on inflammations by pathways not similar in the receptor sites hence it can be preferable for conditions like arthritis [1][2].
Pain Relief: The studies indicate that both CBD and curcumin can lower the perception of pain stimuli; hence, forming a good combination for natural pain relief [3][4].
Enhanced Absorption: Combining the turmeric in CBD oil may further enhance curcumin ultimate absorption since the fats traditionally present in the oil may heighten bioavailability hence usefulness of curcumin [5].
