Despite the undeniable popularity of CBD, we still have a lot of unanswered questions about the use and benefits of cannabidiol.
CBD is not new and has been around for centuries but modern understanding of the compound comes with a wide range of products and their efficient use.
CBD is a naturally occurring cannabinoid mostly found in the cannabis sativa species. Many other cannabinoids are also found in cannabis that offers varying effects on the human body.
For instance, the most popular of all is THC or tetrahydrocannabinol that is responsible for creating the euphoric effect of marijuana.
Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and does not alter the state of mind.

Here are top 5 health benefits of CBD proven by science and extensive research.
Childhood Epilepsy Disorder
Rigorous trials have been carried out on several patients to check the effect of CBD on childhood epilepsy syndromes like Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastrault syndrome. It is proven to be safe for children and offers a significant reduce in the magnitude and frequency. These diseases occur at early age and are quite resistant to conventional epilepsy treatment options. Interestingly, 5% of the patients who were given CBD became seizure free.
Pain management
Research has also shown that the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of CBD can help in managing pain caused by numerous diseases like arthritis and multiple sclerosis. It is also quie helpful for relieving nerve pain which is seldom treated by any OTC medicines. Even though opioids and NSAIDs are more effective but they are addictive and cause dependence.
Anxiety
Not all dosages work equally well for treating anxiety but most studies show that 300mg of CBD per day can help in managing the symptoms of anxiety in most patients. It may not help with all types of anxiety disorders but can help with generalized anxiety disorder.
Acne
Acne is the most prevalent skin disorder that effects people of all ages. Studies have also found that CBD can inhibit sebocytes to produce excess sebum. In addition, the anti-inflammatory effect of CBD also helps in preventing cytokine activation. It will not only treat acne but also prevent future breakouts.
