Can Cbd Oils Benefit Your Overall Health

5. For Help With PTSD

CBD oil has been used to safely and effectively treat insomnia and anxiety in children with post-traumatic stress disorder.

For college students with generalized social anxiety, a four-minute talk, with minimal time to prepare, can be debilitating. Yet a small experiment in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology found that CBD seemed to reduce nervousness and cognitive impairment in patients with social anxiety in a simulated public speaking task.

Many soldiers return home haunted by war and suffer through PTSD, often avoiding certain activities, places or people associated with their traumatic events. The Department of Veterans Affairs is funding its first study on CBD, pairing it with psychotherapy.

"Our top therapies attempt to break the association between reminders of the trauma and the fear response," said Mallory Loflin, an assistant adjunct professor at the University of California, San Diego and the study's principal investigator. "We think that CBD, at least in animal models, can help that process happen a lot faster." While large clinical trials are underway, psychologists say there isn't compelling evidence yet as to whether this is a viable treatment.

Conclusion

CBD Oil is being used effectively for the treatment of PTSD related symptoms
