CBD's Potential To Treat Cancer, Schizophrenia, And COVID
CBD's Potential To Treat Cancer, Schizophrenia, And COVID
New research from South Korea highlights the potential of CBD to treat an array
of conditions from cancer to schizophrenia to COVID. The plant and CBD exhibit
"neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, anti-bacterial, and
antiepileptic properties". Cannabinoids are also said to have "diverse
anticancer properties" and present "promising opportunities for future cancer
treatment" It's also a promising pain relief alternative, a way to manage the
symptoms of schizophrenia, and a possible inhibitor of COVID-19. CBD has
benefits for diabetes-related conditions which could be impactful on a
significant 11.6% of the US population who have diabetes. As more research is
conducted a growing amount of applications are being found for CBD and hemp,
such as pharmaceutical drugs, skincare, and fuel.
