You know you’ve made it to the mainstream when you’re invited to Kim Kardashian’s baby shower. Of course, we’re talking about CBD. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star threw a CBD-themed baby shower for her upcoming fourth child.
The cannabinoid (officially called cannabidiol) has seen a rise in popularity lately as you can see from Google’s search trend analysis below:
CBD has definitely become the darling of the medical cannabis industry. The reason? Likely because it has numerous health benefits and no psychoactive effects like its fellow cannabinoid, THC. In fact, when CBD and THC are taken together, CBD can actually lessen the unwanted psychoactive effects of THC.
CBD can help treat and/or alleviate symptoms of:
- Anxiety (the reason Kim Kardashian made it the focal point of her baby shower)
- Pain
- Inflammation
- Arthritis
- Epilepsy
- Insomnia
Some other celebrities that have hopped on the CBD bandwagon:
Pro golfer, Bubba Watson uses CBD to treat inflammation and get better sleep.
UFC fighter, Nate Diaz uses CBD to treat post-fight pain and inflammation.
Actor, Mandy Moore uses CBD cream to alleviate the pain of walking in high heels.
Actor, Halle Berry uses CBD to treat period cramps.
Interested in trying CBD?
If you’re interested in adding CBD to your health plan, please speak with a medical professional first – especially if you’re taking other medications. Medical cannabis can interact with the same enzymes that pharmaceutical drugs do and create unintended consequences.
