A new scientific review highlights the potential of CBD to treat and manage the symptoms of conditions like epilepsy, pain, cancer, schizophrenia, diabetes and COVID-19, among others.

The wide-ranging 11-page review takes up the broad task of trying “to summarize comprehensively the impact of cannabis on human health,” finding that while the field has yet to be thoroughly explored, the plant and its components exhibit “neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, anti-bacterial, analgesic, and antiepileptic properties.”

The study, “Beneficial effects of cannabidiol from Cannabis,” was published last month in the journal Applied Biological Chemistry. In addition to the overview of cannabis on human health, it “delves into recent CBD research advancements, highlighting the compound’s potential medical applications.”
