There’s promising research that CBD may help reduce inflammation in people with neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Scientists have found that CBD has a number of beneficial effects: it fights inflammation and nausea, provides antioxidants, protects nerve cells, and comes without the psychotropic effects of its cousin molecule, THC.
It’s not a cure, but it may help provide some relief from the effects of relentless neurological conditions. And some patients have found that using CBD has meant less reliance on some prescription medications that may help, but also come with a long list of side effects.
