Fight bacteria
CBD prescribed for the treatment of multi-drug resistant bacteria. The research found that cannabinoids which found in CBD have a very high ability to kill bacteria. It is not yet precisely known how the drug kills bacteria. A study conducted in 2011 concluded that the use of CBD slowed tuberculosis progression in rats. The research found that this was the case because CBD inhibits the T-cell proliferation rather than possessing the antibacterial properties. CBD has also shown remarkable results in the fight against the superbugs which are becoming a common problem in the world today.
Reduce inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a pretty common problem in the society today, and it leads to numerous non-infectious diseases like cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disease, Alzheimer’s and a range of other conditions and according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Lifestyle and diet have a huge role in chronic inflammation. However, if you still experience chronic inflammation, the use of CBD can help.
There are many more reasons why you should consider the use of CBD. It is good to note that it can also be used to reduce oxidative stress, provide help for schizophrenia, improve heart health, improve skin condition, fight cancer and so much more.
