Are you suffering from migraines?

Can medical cannabis aid your migraine headaches?

In the U.S., more than 38 million people have migraine disease as estimated, suggesting that this number may be even higher and have an impact on as many as 50 million or more. Some migraine studies also estimate that 12 percent of adults in the U.S. population has a migraine, and 4 million have chronic migraine.
  Fortunately, researchers have found that medical marijuana and its product, such as CBD oil can be an effective treatment for those suffering from migraines.  

According to a  2018 study, “ 2,032 people with migraine, headache, arthritis, or chronic pain as a primary symptom or illness. Most participants were able to replace their prescription medications — typically opioids or opiates — with cannabis.”

 “In 2016, Pharmacotherapy published a study on the use of medical marijuana for migraines. Researchers found that of the 48 people surveyed, 39.7 percent reported fewer migraine attacks overall.”

However, you can get the best recommendation from medical marijuana doctors, San-Francisco, to start medication from a shallow dose. 
 
To begin with, marijuana therapy using CBD oil for migraine, you must know the common symptoms of it, which includes the following:
  • Pain on one side of the head
  • Nausea
  • Blurred vision
  • Aura
  • Vomiting
  • Pulsating pain
How does CBD work for migraines?

Many researchers suggest that one or more substances present in cannabis may have therapeutic benefit for headaches, including migraines. There is also evidence that CBD oil can reduce inflammation and pain in arthritis. It may work with migraines similarly.

There are two cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. CBD works by interacting with both the receptors. 

CBD prevents the body from metabolizing compound anandamide. The compound anandamide is associated with pain regulation. If high levels of anandamide are maintained in your bloodstream, it can reduce feelings of pain in your body.

CBD is also used to reduce inflammation within the body, which may also help to alleviate pain and other responses of the immune system.

How can CBD be used?

The ways of using CBD include the following:

    • as an ingredient in food or drinks
    • in the form of a capsule 
    • Used  as a topical application such as cream for the skin
    • Used as drops or sprays in the mouth

However, before CBD can become a standard treatment option for your migraine, it's worth talking to a medical marijuana doctor, San- Francisco. They can advise you for the proper dosage as well as guide you with its health benefits.

Medical marijuana has been showing promising results for chronic pain, inflammation, headaches due to migraines, and aiding many other diseases in the field of healthcare.
