    CBD Hemp Extracts for the Treatment of Arthritis and Arthrosis

    The dawn of CBD Hemp extracts for the treatment of Arthritis and Arthrosis. Evermore patients suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis in some form or another, such as Rheumatoid Osteoarthritis, or Psoriatic Arthritis. Most of the commonly prescribed medications are either limited in their treatment success or have severe side effects. Therefore, it is no wonder that an ever-increasing number of patients seek alternative treatments with CBD Hemp products. 

    Arthritis refers to any inflammation in the joints. However, can also affect the tissues surrounding the joints and other connective tissues. Arthritis is characterized as a rheumatic condition inducing a range of painful symptoms, which impair a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks. Rheumatic conditions such as arthritis tend to involve pain, stiffness, and swelling in and around one or more joints.

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) Is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s immune system attacks their joints, causing inflammation. RA commonly affects the hands and feet and leads to painful, swollen, and stiff, eventually deformed joints.

    • Osteoarthritis (OA) Is a degenerative disease that affects joint cartilage and bones, causing pain and stiffness. It often also affects the hip, knee, and thumb joints. Arthrosis is another name used to describe OA.

    How CBD Works in the Treatment of Arthritis and Arthrosis?

    Treatment for arthritis aims to control pain and inflammation. Thereby minimizing joint damage, and improving or maintaining function and quality of life. There are several treatment plans for arthritis. However, the primary objective sought by therapists is often just pain relief. Most commonly, doctors will prescribe treatments for pain management, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

    While scientific research is still at its inception, CBD extracts from medical marijuana plants or hemp plants offer a viable alternative. They can either replace or complement the treatment of arthritis pain. 

    Studies Have Shown the Highly Positive Effect of CBD Hemp Extracts in the Treatment of Arthritis and Arthrosis

    Holly T. Philpott, Melissa O’Brien, Jason J. McDougall 2017 and  Cannabidiol (CBD): a killer for inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts by Torsten Lowin, Ren Tingting, Julia Zurmahr, Tim Classen, Matthias Schneider and Georg Pongratz and there are many more here NCBI. 

    1. Its effect on the endocannabinoid system (ECS)

    Peripheral cannabinoid receptors play an important role in the body’s ability to inhibit and control pain. This is due to its ability to suppress pain processing through the activation of the CB1 & CB2 receptors. In addition, CBD also restores the balance of endocannabinoids such as anandamide and FAAH which are thought to play a role in blocking pain signals.

    2. CBD's ability to reduce neuropathic pain

    Glycine receptors (GlyRs) play an important role in the sensations of pain. CBD has been shown to significantly reduce chronic pain by suppressing α3 GlyRs receptors.

    3. Cannabidiols ability to reduce inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin

    CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties are mainly due to its ability to decrease the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase. It does this in a similar way as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Ibuprofen and Naproxen. 

    4. Its ability to reduce immune response and oxidative stress

    Researchers found that CBD can also reduce the associated oxidative stress of inflammation. It achieves this, by exerting an immunosuppressive effect.
