CBD Oil for Migraines - How CBD Helps Treat Headaches - Dr. Lynn Marie Morski [OxBB6ecS9z1]

HOW DOES CBD HELP TREAT MIGRAINES? Dr. Lynn Marie Morski, plant medicine advocate, explains how those suffering from migraine headaches can find relief with the powerful phytonutrient Cannabidiol (CBD). CBD oil interacts with the human endocannabinoid system to product many therapeutic benefits. Migraines - so many of us have experienced that day-ruining headache that forces you to have to take refuge in a dark, quiet room. It’s so common that one in four American households has at least one member who suffers from migraines. And for those of you who have chronic migraines, you know all too well that the prescription medication options aren’t great. You have to take them at the onset of the migraine for them to work, and they often leave you so drowsy that you may end up retreating to that dark room for a nap anyway! This is where CBD comes in. I’m Dr. Lynn Marie Morski with Octagon Biolabs, and I’m here to talk a little bit about how CBD oil could be helpful for migraine sufferers everywhere. CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the ingredients found in hemp and marijuana plants. Unlike it’s more well-known counterpart THC, CBD does not cause the high generally associated with marijuana use. CBD acts on the endocannabinoid system, which is a biological system that affects the regulation of several physiological and cognitive functions. CBD has recently been found to be effective for a number of medical conditions, including migraines. While researchers are still investigating the exact mechanisms by which CBD is able to help alleviate migraine symptoms, some initial studies have suggested the following: There’s a group of nerves and blood vessels in the brain called the trigeminovascular system, or TVGS, which is widely thought to play a role in the development of migraines. Activation of the TVGS leads to increased sensitivity of some nerve cells in the brain than then leads to increased pain signals, which in turn increases TVGS activity, creating a positive feedback loop that keeps you stuck in the grips of a migraine. CBD acts on a part of the TVGS, helping to stabilize it and decrease its action, thereby reducing the migraine symptoms. And what’s great about CBD oil is that it can be taken at any point in a migraine, not just at the onset, and still be effective. Patients with migraines have reported that CBD has helped decrease pain from debilitating to manageable or alleviated their symptoms completely. In addition, taking CBD preventatively on a routine basis can reduce the frequency, duration and severity of migraines for those who are regular migraine sufferers. This is thought to be due to the fact that those who suffer from conditions that feature an enhanced pain response, like migraine, have often been found to have a clinical endocannabinoid deficiency. Dose needs vary based on your size, how well you absorb the CBD, and your metabolism. You may find it helpful to take a certain dose of CBD oil daily for prevention, and then you may need to take a slightly higher dose to get rid of a migraine once it has started. Start by taking a certain amount daily, notate what amount you took, and increase incrementally until you notice your migraines improving.
