CBD Oil vs. Cannabis Seed Oil: The Dynamic Duo of Pain Relief

Alright, squad, let's dive right in and talk about the power players in the world of Cannabis sativa-based pain relief – CBD oil and Cannabis seed oil.

 

CBD Oil: This stuff is like the superstar of the Cannabis sativa plant. It's extracted from the flowers, leaves, and stalks, and it's got the magic ingredient – cannabidiol (CBD). Now, here's the cool part: CBD works its wonders by interacting with your body's endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate things like pain, mood, and inflammation (4, 5).

 

Cannabis Seed Oil: Now, don't confuse this with CBD oil. Cannabis seed oil comes from, you guessed it, the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. It's loaded with good-for-you stuff like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and it's your ticket to super soft skin. While it doesn't have CBD like the other oil, it's got its own set of talents. When applied topically, it can help soothe inflammation (6), making it a boss choice for things like skin irritations or muscle soreness.

 

So, here's the deal – both CBD oil and Cannabis seed oil have their own unique benefits for pain relief. CBD oil is your go-to for tackling those internal pain woes, like chronic discomfort or anxiety. On the other hand, Cannabis seed oil is your wingman when it comes to addressing external pain, making it a go-to for soothing those aches on the surface.

 

It's like having a dynamic duo on your side, each with their own superpowers, ready to tag-team those pesky pains. So, whether it's aches from a tough workout, that joint pain that's been nagging you, or even a pesky skin irritation, these oils have got your back.

 

Stay tuned because we're about to break down some practical ways to use these oils for pain relief.

 

 

 

Navigating the Cannabis and Pain Connection: Clinical Insights

 

• Clinical studies on cannabis and pain have shown that cannabis has complex effects on pain relief. Several randomized controlled trials support the effectiveness of cannabis as a pain treatment (7).

 

• However, when we look at pre-clinical studies in animals and experimental research in humans, we see a more nuanced picture. THC, a compound in cannabis, has been found to provide pain relief in animal models (8, 9).

 

• In a study by Wallace et al., 15 healthy volunteers were given different doses of smoked cannabis to test its effects on pain caused by capsaicin. They found that a medium dose of cannabis reduced pain (10).

 

• When it comes to chronic clinical pain, a systematic review and meta-analysis of 28 randomized trials with 2454 patients found that cannabinoids, compared to placebo, reduced pain levels and numerical pain ratings. The review concluded that there is moderate evidence supporting the use of cannabinoids for chronic pain, especially neuropathic pain (11).

 

• In a separate placebo-controlled trial, inhaled aerosolized cannabis showed a dose-dependent reduction in pain ratings for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a type of chronic pain that is often treatment-resistant (12).

 

• More recently, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 42 participants with central neuropathic pain related to spinal cord injury and disease found that vaporized cannabis flower reduced pain scale ratings, although there was no clear dose-dependent effect (13).

 

• A recent report from the National Academies also supports the use of cannabis or cannabinoids for chronic pain, but emphasizes the need for further research to better understand dosing, administration methods, and side effects for commonly used cannabis products in the United States (14).
