The past few decades have been an exciting time for CBD, as it’s shown to be helpful for a variety of different conditions. As time goes on, we are likely to see this list continue to grow longer. Here are a couple of conditions for which CBD has shown promise as a treatment alternative.

While it remains unclear the exact impact that cannabidiol has on human acne, studies have found that the endocannabinoid system is involved in cutaneous cell growth and differentiation, and a study did find individuals with acne to benefit from cannabis seed extract cream.

Researchers found that the cannabis extract cream led to a decrease in skin sebum and erythema content when compared to the control. As sebum and erythema add to the growth of acne, researchers concluded that cannabis seed extract may be effective in the treatment of acne vulgaris.

This study does not help us to know if it is a specific compound in cannabis or the unique combination, leaving further studies on CBD alone necessary.

Millions of people experience poor sleep on a nightly basis. In some studies, CBD once again shows promise as a treatment option, while in others it has been demonstrated to promote wakefulness.

The human research is very limited with small sample sizes and no placebo group, leaving us to wait and see what researchers find next before we can draw any definitive conclusions.

For thousands of years, hemp has been prized for a variety of different uses, including its positive effect on the skin.

Humans are susceptible to a range of different skin conditions. Many of which are challenging to treat with conventional medications as well.

Evidence from a 2007 in vitro study by Wilkinson suggests that the endocannabinoid system plays a role in many different skin conditions.

Interestingly, a 2007 study by Karsak suggests that one of the areas of the body where receptor cells within the endocannabinoid system are located in the skin. These findings may help explain why CBD may be an effective treatment for skin conditions.

Keep in mind, it is likely that there are even more conditions which can benefit from CBD treatment outside of the conditions we’ve just discussed. As researchers continue to discover new applications for CBD with other diseases and ailments, it appears that the list above may only be the tip of the iceberg with regards to conditions which CBD can help manage.
