Pure CBD Oil: Does It Really Work?

CBD is a powerful compound that can help ease anxiety and improve sleep, among other benefits. However, not all CBD products are equal and it’s important to look for a product that’s high quality and has been tested by an independent lab.

While many Cannovia  health food stores stock ‘pure CBD’, this type of product is not classed as a ‘medicinal product’ in the UK and so doesn’t undergo proper clinical testing. This means you can’t be sure that it will contain the ‘active ingredient’ listed on the label or that it won’t contain contaminants such as pesticides or heavy metals.

There are several different ways to take CBD, including oils and capsules. However, a CBD beauty product such as a serum or cream could be a better choice for people with sensitive palates since it’s absorbed through the skin instead of swallowed. In addition, a CBD muscle balm may be effective for reducing pain from a workout.

Research suggests that CBD could be beneficial in a number of areas, such as alleviating the symptoms of depression and other mood disorders (positive data from 7 uncontrolled studies and 17 RCTs), reducing the symptoms of PTSD (positive data from 2 uncontrolled studies and 3 RCTs), improving sleep and decreasing substance misuse symptoms (positive data from 1 uncontrolled study and 5 RCTs). It also has possible antibacterial properties and can reduce inflammation. Further research is needed to understand the full range of potential therapeutic effects.
