CBD Oil for Arthritis: Your Guide to Therapeutic Effects of CBD Oil on Joint Inflammation

By Liam Hemsworth

Arthritis is not only a devastating barrier to employment for many Americans, it is also the most common disabling disease in the Unites States. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. Arthritis causes pain, swelling and changes in the joints that limit movement. It affects people of all ages. Arthritis can come on slowly or suddenly. Once you have arthritis, it usually lasts all of your life. However, many things can be done to help reduce pain, increase movement and keep the person active. Arthritis is the inflammation of or damage to the joint. Nearly 43 million Americans have some kind of arthritis. The symptoms and seriousness of arthritis vary widely. Researchers don't know what causes most kinds of arthritis. Chances are you or someone you know has arthritis or a related condition. Pain from arthritis can be ongoing or can come and go. Arthritis can effect the muscles, organs and connective tissues. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent form of arthritis, effecting mostly older individuals. It is sometimes called degenerative arthritis because it involves the breakdown of cartilage and bones (Allen, Harry, Bender, Gleanor, Schumacher, Brockman 1976). This causes pain and stiffness. Osteoarthritis usually effects the fingers and weight bearing joints. This includes the knees, feet, hips and back. It effects both men and women, and usually occurs after age 45. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most serious and disabling types of arthritis. In rheumatoid arthritis an abnormality in the body's defense or immune system causes inflammation of the joints. Inflammation begins in the joint lining and then may damage both cartilage and bone. It often effects the same joints on both sides of the body. The hands, wrists, feet, knees, ankles, shoulders, neck, jaw and elbows can be effected. It's more common in women than men. CBD (Cannabidiol) is a compound found in the Cannabis plant. It can be used in several different ways including vaping, tinctures, capsules, and edibles.Unlike its close relative, THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is completely non-psychoactive. This allows us to benefit from the many health properties of the Cannabis plant without the negative side effects of "getting high."Because of this, CBD became a very popular option for those seeking a natural alternative to treat conditions such as chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, PTSD, epilepsy and other mental disorders.At first, many were skeptical, thinking that a natural compound, let alone a Cannabis-compound, could effectively treat such a wide range of conditions. But as medical researchers learned more, and the stories from tens of thousands of people began to stack up, the truth was undeniable. CBD works.For starters, CBD inherits many of the medicinal properties of Cannabis such as being anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiolytic. This allows it to provide natural stress, anxiety and pain relief.
