Franklin Nicolas: The Use of CBD for Medical Treatments
Abstract-
Cannabidiol (CBD) has always been rejected by this society since it is one of the components of a drug called Cannabis. CBD is the passive psychoactive component of cannabis that actually has beneficial effects on our bodies. There are several uses for this substance; it can be used as a pain reliever, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and also as an anxiolytic. It is an all-in-one remedy that should be recommended by experts without hesitation. Dominique Fontaine, who is a double board-certified holistic nurse and health and wellness nurse coach of the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation, wrote about how this substance can help improve the performance of athletes and their recovery. CBD is also good for those who have depression or anxiety. Additionally, CBD helps with the treatment of cancer; it is said that it could be consumed complementary with chemotherapy and radiation in order to suppress the side effects of these treatments. Since CBD is a component of a drug, it is hard for people to accept it as a regular medical treatment.
