Like so many revolutionary innovations, Northern California was at the forefront of the CBD movement. Now it has become a widely used and respected supplement around the world, so it may be a good time to review the some of the benefits of CBD. Sacramento to the Bay Area, NorCal residents swear by CBD to help with the following conditions:

Anxiety and stress. This has been the number one use for CBD and other cannabis-based products since ancient times. There are currently multiple scientific studies underway to get a better understanding of why but, users of cannabinoids know that it works. Northern Californians know stress and anxiety can melt away with the right amount of CBD. San Jose, the capital of Silicon Valley, is likely the most stressed area in NorCal and many of the people who make it run swear by CBD.

 

Insomnia. Better sleep has been found to help alleviate symptoms of all kinds of ailments both mental and physical. Sleeplessness is an enemy of good health and cannabis-based products can help defeat it. This is why there are so many CBD products that are specifically tailored to helping you sleep. Many companies offer whole lines of tinctures and gummies designed to maximize the cannabinoids’ natural sleep benefits.

 

Inflammation. There is a lot to unpack when it comes to how CBD works on inflammation. A topical lotion can help with joint and muscle recovery after an intense workout. Why take pain pills when you can turn to CBD? Sacramento along with the rest of Northern California is a hiker’s paradise, so feel free to get after it, and know you can recover with CBD. Perhaps more important than sports recovery is CBD’s role in mitigating severe pain like the kind associated with arthritis. While studies are also ongoing in this area, the things we already know about how cannabinoid products fight inflammation suggest that relief of arthritis symptoms is logical.

 

Epilepsy. One of the scientifically proven benefits of CBD oil is in the treatment of specific epilepsy syndromes that affect children as young as two years old. The symptoms of Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) have both been helped extensively by CBD treatments. The breakthrough in treating these forms of epilepsy has been one of the single greatest advancements in the legitimization of CBD. San Jose and the rest of Northern California may only have a limited number of people who suffer from these conditions but everyone who swears by CBD has benefitted from the work done in this area.

 

Nervous system conditions. The hope is that with the advancements of epilepsy treatments, more neurological and nervous system conditions might be treated in part with CBD. ALS and Parkinson’s disease are at the top of the list of ailments that studies are currently reviewing in relation to CBD treatments. There is also hope that Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s patients could also see reduction of their symptoms with the help of CBD therapies.
