Around 10% of people will experience PTSD at some point in their lives, while veterans are effected dramatically higher, with a staggering 35% reported to be suffering. Those who are troubled with this disease commonly have trouble sleeping, may relive the event repeatedly, and most experience anxiety coupled with depression.
A 2016 study found evidence that “drugs acting on the endocannabinoid system may reduce the symptoms that a person with PTSD experiences after a memory extinction procedure. This is because the endocannabinoid system, which includes CBD receptors, can affect anxiety and memory, two factors that play a significant role in PTSD.”
In addition to this increasingly popular anecdote, the possibility of CBD affecting different processes involved in adverse memory is growing as studies are showing favorable effects of cannabidiol - namely isolated CBD, in the control of other common manifestations of PTSD symptomatology, such as sleep disorders.
Living with Parkinson’s comes with daily challenges, from muscle stiffness and tremors to sleep disturbances and discomfort. But could nature hold a key to relief? Emerging research suggests that cannabinoids—especially CBG, CBN, and full-spectrum extracts—may offer neuroprotective benefits, help ease dyskinesia and even promote better sleep. Topical cannabinoid products might also provide targeted relief for muscle tension and discomfort. With studies showing promising results, it’s time to explore whether these plant-based compounds could make a real difference.
