How CBD Helps Seniors: Will It Relieve Chronic Pain?

From a certain age, you may suffer from joint pain, lack of energy and insomnia. The cannabinoid CBD is proving to be a suitable natural remedy (and not only) for these problems. It is not for nothing that seniors use it for pain, anxiety, insomnia and arthritis. What do you need to know about this cannabis substance? Learn more in the article!

Cannabidiol (CBD) has come under the scrutiny of scientists, who are increasingly investigating its clinical effectiveness on different age groups. One such group is the elderly who could find relief from chronic pain and a solution to insomnia in it. Why should seniors use cannabidiol and what should they watch out for? That's what we're going to focus on in today's article!

CBD for pain, insomnia and arthritis?

As we get older, we look for ways to manage chronic body pain. One of the alternatives to conventional drugs is cannabis, namely cannabidiol CBD. A 2019 Gallup poll found that 8% of Americans over 65 use the cannabinoid for pain (40%), anxiety (20%), insomnia (11%) and arthritis (8%).

CBD is one of the non-psychoactive phytocannabinoids in cannabis, which is attributed with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies conducted in adults indicate that the combination of THC and CBD provides mild to moderate pain relief, including in unspecified chronic and neuropathic pain.

What form of CBD is best for seniors?

Seniors may struggle with slower and worse absorption of active substances in their age. For that reason, they should not rely primarily on hemp foods, which are very likely to extract less effective cannabinoids. Broad spectrum is therefore recommended for older individuals CBD oil, or a form that is soluble in water. It can also be hemp tea, for example.

What to watch out for when using CBD?

Due to the age of seniors, the onset of the effects of drugs can be prolonged, and this also applies to CBD. At the same time, they can have stronger pharmacological and side effects. High doses of cannabidiol can cause side effects such as dizziness, insomnia, confusion and, in rare cases, hallucinations. The solution could be to reduce the dose and extend the interval between taking individual doses. If you are taking any medication or have a medical condition, always consult your doctor before consuming cannabis products.

CBD oil: Grow beyond your age

Are you looking for a natural way to alleviate the health problems that come with age? Try CBD oil, which contains terpenes and other cannabinoids like cannabigerol CBG or cannabinol CBN. Thanks to all these substances, hemp drops have broad-spectrum effects. Unlike THC, it has no psychoactive properties, so you don't have to worry about unpleasant side effects. Start with a lower dose and evaluate after a few weeks if the expected results have occurred. If not, try gradually increasing the dose or reaching for more concentrated drops. The most important thing is regularity and long-term use.

Hemp cosmetics can relieve pain

Do you suffer from joint pain, dry skin or skin problems in your old age? Trust hemp beauty products that are applied directly to the affected areas. Some creams and ointments contain other active substances, for example menthol for a cooling effect.

What is the future of CBD hemp?

Currently, they are the only product approved for special medical use CBD drops for the treatment of epilepsy. However, research is still ongoing and the benefit of cannabidiol in the treatment of other diseases such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, diabetes or multiple sclerosis is being investigated.
