Traditionally, a combination of self-management and medication has been suggested by medical professionals. However, in recent years, discussions of CBD as an alternative tool has become a topic of hot debate in the community. With almost 1 in 5 Americans and Canadians affected, researchers have deemed that fully understanding the disease and approaching it in every direction possible may be the key to solving the issue. Can CBD really be used as a safe and effective treatment? Let\u2019s find out.\n\nCBD, cannabidiol, is a chemical compound that is found in the cannabis plant. When consumed, it stimulates our biological system called the endocannabinoid system. When the endocannabinoid system is triggered, scientists believe that it helps regulate a variety of bodily functions including sleep, mood, memory, appetite, reproduction, and pain sensation. More solid understanding and research are certainly required to prove this as conclusive; however, numerous testimonies and scientific evidence show desirable results by using CBD oil, especially for those affected with arthritis.\n

CBD for Arthritis<\/h1>\nFirst, it is important to know that there are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis and related conditions, hence different causes and treatments may be associated. Below are a few of the common types of arthritis disease.\n

Types of arthritis<\/h2>\nOsteoarthritis<\/strong> \u2013 the most common form of arthritis. You may understand this form to be \u201cwear and tear\u201d damage. Age can be the common factor; however, it also occurs in people who put excessive stress on weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, feet, and spine. As common as it is, treatments are favorable especially when managed in the early stage.\n\nRheumatoid arthritis<\/strong> \u2013 is an autoimmune disease. The problem here is the immune system attacking the affected part of the body, causing inflammation. Usually, the small joint areas are affected such as wrists, hands, and feet. Professionals are still unsure how the disease develops but some say it is associated with virus and infection, while others say it is triggered by chemicals in the body.\n\nPsoriatic arthritis<\/strong> \u2013 affects the skin and joints. Only about 10% – 30% of patients with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis. Most commonly the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis cause swelling in fingers and toes, but also discoloration of fingernails. Other joints such as the spine or knee can be affected as well.\n
