#4 January Wordsmith – Neuroprotective Property of CBD Flowers

The neuroprotective property of CBD flowers may be more important than you think in regard to a variety of medical benefits. The neuroprotective properties of CBD flowers are important when considering neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases occur when nerve cells in the brain or peripheral nervous system lose function. There are no pharmaceuticals developed yet to relieve some of the physical or mental symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases or to slow the progression of the disease.  However, anti-inflammatory properties work and something with neuroprotective properties.

Neuroprotective Property of CBD Flowers —Defining Neuroprotective Properties

Neuroprotection refers to the relative preservation of neuronal structures and the function of the neuronal structure. So, if you preserve neuronal integrity then the rate of neuronal loss reduces over time. Maybe this discussion is starting out a bit technical but the concept of preservation to reduce destruction is what it is all about.

Now here is the good part that affects you. CBD is highly effective as a neuroprotective compound in research studies when talking diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s Disease, and other neurologically driven conditions. CBD hemp flower acts through antioxidant mechanisms which are independent of CB₁ or CB₂ receptors

Neuroprotective Property of CBD Flowers —Benefits of CBD Hemp Flower

CBD hemp flower also has an effect on the brains neuroreceptors. Scientists are exploring the ways that CBD could affect a receptor in the brain called CB1. The degradation of neurotransmitters is known to lead to diseases such as Alzheimer’s \’\’and Parkinson’s. Again, research is in its infancy, but the results hold the potential to change many lives for the better.

CBD flowers are a potent antioxidant which may partly explain its neuroprotective effects. It has also shown great possibilities for autoimmune diseases such as type-1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis and also slows the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. CBD hemp flower is effective in treating neurodegenerative conditions.

Neuroprotective Property of CBD Flowers – About Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of disorders characterized by the progressive degeneration of the structure \’\’and function of the central nervous system or possible the peripheral nervous system. Common neurodegenerative diseases include Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Motor neuron disease.

In 2016, an estimated 5.4 million Americans were living with Alzheimer’s disease \’\’and an additional 930,000 people may be overcome by Parkinson’s disease by 2024. As you age, your chance of falling prey to a neurodegenerative disease increases probably because the natural neuro protection starts diminishing.

Neuroprotective Property of CBD Flowers –Considering Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s is a disease that is affecting more and more seniors and according to statistics, it is on the track to affect even more. Dementia is the forerunner of Alzheimer’s generally speaking so at that point there are things that can be done medically to perhaps slow the brain cell deterioration.

Starting in dementia then progressing through all the stages of Alzheimer’s, brain cells are dying and the neurotransmitters deteriorate so the message cannot get to where it is supposed to go. There are three ways CBD can change neurodegenerative diseases:

• reduces oxygen buildup,
• stimulates the brain,
• provides a neuroprotectant to the neurotransmitters,
• reduces brain cell death,
• reduces inflammation.

Neuroprotective Property of CBD Flowers –Considering the Role of Neurons

Some of the most important cells in the brain are called neurons.  Neurons communicate with each other to perform many functions of the brain involving things like moving around, thinking, what you have learned, talking to friends, or remembering the list of things at the grocery store. When the neurons deteriorate then the brain misfires and the information is lost and does not arrive where it is supposed to.

When the cells of the brain miscommunicate in one area, disruptions happen with various brain activities causing widespread problems. The ultimate consequence is the intrusion of many diseases and illnesses that affect the brain, result in neuron death.

“Neuroprotective” Last Words

The neuroprotective property of CBD flowers is remarkable in so many instances where other degenerative conditions try to dominate our communication system so important messages do not arrive at their intended destination. CBD flower may not cure degenerative diseases, but it throws a preventive coating over these neurotransmitters that are so important to our body’s communication system.

There are currently no successful pharmaceuticals to deal with neurodegenerative diseases, so it is good news that CBD hemp flower has the potential to intervene.
