Anyone who has ever suffered from migraines knows that they can cause intense suffering. Not only this but treatment can be extremely difficult as well as finding the cause. However, CBDs might offer a solution. Here are the best CBD treatments for migraines.
Symptoms of a migraine include the stinging headache but can also include nausea, vomiting and loss of vision. Often, with traditional medicine proves ineffective at dealing with them.
How does it work
CBD treatment may be able to alleviate the symptoms by targeting specific brain receptors which are part of the wider endocannaboid system.
By interacting with receptors within the nervous system rather than within the brain CBD can help treat a variety of illnesses.
How do you use CBDs
There are a variety of ways to consume CBDs. They can be added to your food and drink, taken in capsule form or in oral drops and sprays.
Another method is by vaping, but there have been questions over the quality of CBD vapes. Due to the lack of regulation in certain nations there are often ingredients added to CBD products.
Studies using CBD for migraines
Like most ailments that are being treated by CBDs the research around them remains inconclusive at this stage.
Despite this there are studies that have suggested positive benefits, including reducing the pain that accompanies a migraine. Another benefit is that CBDs may reduce the occurrence of migraines.
The studies have encouraged further research to be undertaken due to the positive results.
What are the risks?
Like any medication there are always risks associated. For CBDs treating migraines the largest risk stems from a lack of cohesive regulation around the world. With different laws in different countries it means that certain CBDs may contain THC (the chemical component that produces a high) or other ingredients.
Side effects from using CBD for migraines can include tiredness, diarrhoea and a loss of appetite.
