Cannabis is a plant that is still illegal in most countries and states. The plant is often used as a recreational drug due to its psychoactive compounds. The psychoactive effects of this plant aren’t the only properties that it possesses, however. Many research studies have been conducted on cannabis, and it is often found that the plant has numerous benefits for the human body. The research has also led to the legalization of cannabis for medical use in some countries. In the last few years, companies have started to use cannabis in their products to utilize the benefits that this plant can offer the human body, but without causing the “high” that people who use it for recreational purposes are after. One particular area that has gained a lot of interest is the benefits that cannabis has for your skin.
Research Behind The Medicinal Properties Of Cannabis
Let’s start by analyzing the current research behind the medicinal properties that the cannabis plant possesses. We are going to take a look at all the benefits that is supported by scientific studies, so whether you are looking for a solution that will help you learn how to get rid of acne or wondering if cannabis can help you reduce skin inflammation, read on. The most well-known effect that this plant can offer a user is a therapeutic effect. Many people use the plant to reduce their anxiety symptoms and to reduce stress. Another popular medicinal use for cannabis is to relieve pain – many studies do support the benefits of cannabis in patients who suffer from chronic pain. One particular study that was conducted by the Keauhou Urgent Care Center found that patients with chronic pain experienced that their pain decreased by an average of 64%, which is quite significant and the results can even be compared to the effects that some prescription painkillers have in patients who experience chronic pain.
More recent studies have also found that cannabis could also be beneficial for patients with cancer as the effects of the plant can relieve pain and reduce the anxiety these patients experience. Furthermore, a review paper by the University of South Carolina explains that some studies found certain compounds in cannabis to inhibit the progression of damage in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. They also found that cannabis compounds can produce an anti-inflammatory effect in the human body along with its pain reducing effects.
The Benefits Of Cannabis For Your Skin
While most studies on the use of cannabis are related to internal consumptions of the compounds that are found in cannabis plants, some studies have also focused on the benefits that cannabis can offer a person on the outside – more specifically, for the user’s skin. Studies have found that cannabis has numerous benefits for the skin. This has led to the production of many skincare products that utilizes some of the active compounds found in the cannabis plants. Companies have started to produce creams, lotions, gels and many other skincare products to help people improve the wellbeing of their skin.
Leafly explains that these products contain compounds that bind to a receptor in the human body known as CB2. This network of receptors is located throughout the entire human body. When the phytocannabinoids found in cannabis binds to the CB2 receptors, they are activated. The benefit here is the fact that, even though these receptors are activated, they will not produce the “high” effect that people get when they smoke cannabis or consume food that contains cannabis compounds. Thus these products can be used for tasks as simple as reducing acne breakouts to more complex tasks, such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, without worrying about experiencing the “high” of cannabis.
Marie Claire also reports that cannabis-enriched skincare products can help to reduce inflammation if a person has eczema, psoriasis or another skin condition that causes inflammation. These products can also help a person get rid of acne and help to prevent future breakouts. Furthermore, they also report that cannabis has a potent anti-aging effect when applied topically, which can help to prevent premature aging and even reduce existing signs of premature aging. In addition to these benefits, cannabis creams and gels are also hydrating and can regenerate cells; thus leading to skin that is both healthy and glowing, which is something many people desire.
Conclusion
Even though the most popular use for cannabis is for recreational purposes, new studies have suggested that the plant is not as bad for the body as some people might think. In fact, these studies have proven that cannabis is good for the body, but only in certain situations. This is why many companies are extracted active compounds from cannabis plants and producing products that utilize the benefits of the plant without causing the “high” that some of the psychoactive parts can cause.
