edited by Reader's Digest & Project CBD
The editors of Reader’s Digest and Project CBD offer a complete guide to the use and health benefits of cannabidiol oil.
This guide takes a close look at what it calls a “Swiss Army Knife of Natural Healing,” detailing CBD’s therapeutic properties and, specifically, its potential benefits in treating such conditions as Parkinson’s disease, cancer, and PTSD. Many potential users of CBD oil may be confused about how to safely access and use it or may not understand how it differs from medical marijuana. Part I addresses the basics, breaking down the science of how the CBD molecule interacts with the nervous system as well as how it differs from tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the ingredient in marijuana that produces a euphoric experience. Part II presents an overview of more than two dozen ailments for which CBD oil may provide benefits as well as the science, with citations, behind these assertions. Part III examines such things as label terminology, how to safely purchase the product, and how to incorporate it into tinctures and salves. There’s even a section on using CBD oil to safely treat ailments in pets. Overall, this is a highly educational and relevant work that’s both engaging and easy to follow. One of its most beneficial aspects is its focus on safety, as it lays out how to avoid impure and improperly labeled products; it also usefully surveys the legal landscape regarding CBD, complete with a map that clearly shows the legality of cannabis products in all 50 states.
