Cannabis has been used as a medical remedy in many societies around the world for centuries. It is just now making a serious comeback into the world of modern medicine. Some of the important medical benefits of cannabis are alleviating symptoms associated with cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease have been evaluated.
THE STUDY WAS DONE BY TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY AND HEBREW UNIVERSITY
A study that was recently published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research by Tel Aviv University and Hebrew University showed another promising medical application for marijuana. According to research, the use of non- psychotropic component cannabinoid cannabidiol, also known as CBD, helps heal bone fractures. This study was conducted on rats with mid-femoral fractures and the results were that CBD enhanced the healing process after just eight weeks. This is even when it CBD is isolated form THC, tetrahydrocannabinol, the major psychoactive component of cannabis. The same team that did this study also found in earlier research that cannabinoid receptors in the body stimulate bone formation and prevent bone loss. This opens the door for cannabinoid to fight against osteoporosis and other bone related diseases (BRLDs). This research study was led by doctors at the Bone Research Laboratory at the Department of Anatomy and Anthropology.
THIS IS A PATHWAY FOR OTHER CANNABINOID FUELED TREATMENTS
The potential for the clinical use of cannabinoid-related compounds is going to be thoroughly discovered in order to properly develop more therapies. This clinical therapy used cannabinoid that has no psychoactivity and is anti-inflammatory.
The body naturally with a cannabinoid system that regulated non-vital and vital systems. The body only responds to cannabis due to the receptors that can be activated by the same compounds in the cannabis plant. Researchers also found that the skeleton is regulated by cannabinoids. The addition of non-psychogenic compounds acting outside of the brain still affect the skeleton.
CBD MAKES THE BONE STRONGER THAN BEFORE
CBD itself does a lot of beneficial things to the bones during healing. It makes the bones stronger during the healing process, and enhances the maturing of the collagenous matrixes that provide the basis for new mineralization of bone tissues. This process helps the healed bone become harder to break in the future.
