Can Cbd Oils Benefit Your Overall Health

9. Can Relieve Cancer-Related Symptoms

CBD has been shown to help reduce symptoms related to cancer and side effects related to traditional cancer treatment, such as nausea, vomiting and pain.

One study looked at the effects of CBD in 177 people with cancer-related pain who gained no relief from traditional pain medication.

CBD has been reported to also help reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, the most common chemotherapy-related side effect for those with cancer.

Pharmaceutical drugs are sometimes ineffective in treating these symptoms, leading the sufferer to seek alternatives.

Some test-tube and animal studies have even shown that CBD may have anticancer properties. In one example a test-tube study found that concentrated CBD induced cell death in human breast cancer cells.

Another study showed that CBD inhibited the spread of aggressive breast cancer cells in mice.

Conclusion

Though CBD has been shown to help reduce symptoms related to cancer and cancer treatment, and may even have cancer-fighting properties, more research is needed to assess its efficacy and safety.
