Can CBD Oil Help Migraines?

headacheIf you have ever had a migraine, you know just how painful these common headaches can be; not only is a migraine excruciating and unpleasant, but a migraine lasting for up to 72 hours isn’t uncommon. Many people find the accompanying pain to be so severe that they can’t face even the smallest household chore.

A common yet temporary fix to migraines is taking painkillers, although the common brands purchased over the counter have potentially harmful side effects that many people aren’t happy about.

You may be surprised to learn that a cannabis plant may be the best solution to treating those awful migraine headaches.

What Is CBD Oil?

A marijuana plant contains several active compounds, of which CBD oil is just one. Migraines, as well as various other medical conditions, have been successfully treated with CBD products over the last couple of years, making many people pay attention to the properties of CBD oil.

CBD Oil and Research

Because of the legal issues surrounding the use of cannabis plants in different countries and each state, there hasn’t yet been a lot of research into using CBD oil For migraines. However, what research that has been done strongly suggests that chronic pain, acute pain and migraines can all be effectively treated by using CBD products.

How To Best Take CBD Oil For Migraines

The National Cancer Institute points out that the cannabis plant has been used as a valid form of alternative medicine for almost 3,000 years. That hasn’t stopped the debate over the use of cannabis to treat various conditions from continuing in many states. Those suffering from migraines can take comfort from the fact that cannabis use as a treatment has primarily focused on managing neurological symptoms and lowering inflammation.

Ingesting cannabis oil by mouth or vaping it are the two most common methods of taking it. If you are new to the idea of CBD and would like to make sure you’re reducing the potential side effects as much as possible, try placing a few drops of the oil under your tongue, or eating a piece of candy infused with the oil.

Vaping the oil is a faster way to take it, and this is recommended if you don’t need to go out, and your migraine is especially severe. You can enjoy faster migraine relief when you vape, as the active ingredient goes through your lungs and straight into your bloodstream.

Make sure to buy your CBD Oil from a legitimate vendor by using review sites like CBDOilPolice.com They recently reviewed a company called PureKana that showed not all vendors are perfect.

How Much CBD Oil To Take?

Between 10 and 20 mg each day is the amount recommended by most experts for anyone experiencing chronic migraine pain, although no formal guidelines are indicating the required amount to take.

Start with a tiny dose and gradually increase the amount if you are taking CBD oil for the first time. This lessens the chances of you having any adverse reaction and allows your body time to adjust to the oil.

Are There Side Effects When Taking CBD Oil For Migraines?

You may feel a little tired or experience a slight upset stomach if you are generally sensitive. And the strain of cannabis taken, along with several other factors can also determine any side effects. But the good news for migraine sufferers is that the side effects and risks of CBD are virtually non-existent. It’s one of the reasons why many migraine sufferers are giving up their addictive medication and switching to CBD oil.

The method of ingestion can influence the side effects. You may experience irritated lungs if you vape it, and you don’t usually smoke cigarettes. Vaping may not be the best way to take the CBD oil if you have asthma or suffer from other lung diseases.

Will I Get High?

You may feel gently euphoric when you ingest CBD oils; it all depends on the strain of CBD oil, as all cannabis plants are not the same. It’s the quantity of THC, the component that makes you high if you smoke cannabis, that affects how you feel.

There are two types of CBD strains that are widely available to buy at the moment, and understanding the difference can help you make a more informed decision.

CBD Dominant: No THC present, or very little.

CBD Rich: Equal amounts of both THC and CBD are present.

CBD oil for migraines may be the solution you have been looking for if you want to safely and effectively treat those headaches, but don’t want to get high. The CBD component present counteracts the effects of the THC, even if you consume a product that has just as much THC in it.

Is CBD Oil Legal?

Many areas in the United States still regard CBD oil as being an illegal substance, because psychoactive components are found in traditional cannabis. However, several states have decided to legalize cannabis as long as it is used only for medicinal or therapeutic purposes. And of course, in some states cannabis is entirely legal, regardless of the reasons that you are taking it for. You will be easily able to find and purchase CBD oil if you happen to live in one of those states that have decided that marijuana is legal, whether used for recreation or medicinal purposes.
