The reported health benefits of CBD cover a variety of conditions. It is most commonly used to help treat chronic pain, anxiety, depression, inflammation, and insomnia. CBD could also alleviate cancer related symptoms, could benefit heart health and may have Neuroprotective Properties. One study showed that CBD may relieve pain by affecting receptors of the endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate pain, mood, and memory, in addition to many other physiological and cognitive functions. There is also strong evidence that CBD can help people with seizure disorders. In 2018 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first prescription medication containing CBD to treat epilepsy. According to a 2017 report from the World Health Organization, CBD may be a useful treatment for other medical conditions but more research is needed before making definitive conclusions.
