The Therapeutic Benefits of CBD Oil

 

With the CBD industry flourishing for the past few years, doctors and healthcare workers are commonly being asked questions about the safety and efficacy of CBD oils. Several research studies have already proven the therapeutic role of CBD oils and the efficiency of these compounds in the management of several acute and chronic illnesses.

An increasing number of people today is eager to try CBD oils to stay healthier. At the same time, since CBD oils are derived from the cannabis plant, people are apprehensive of its safety as the same plant is used in the preparation of recreational drugs like marijuana known to cause serious addictions.

Hence, it is common for people to confide in their physicians before they start using CBD oils and confirm that it would be safe for them to use it for improving their health.

This is one of the reasons why doctors, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners must keep themselves updated about the safety and efficacy of CBD oils.

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the compound derived from the plant, Cannabis Sativa. It is the same plant from which its infamous sibling, THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, is derived. The use of THC is linked to a higher risk of addiction. 

However, CBD and THC, in spite of being the compounds derived from the same plant, have major differences.

While THC is considered a psychoactive substance, CBD may or may not produce the same effect.

THC is known to increase anxiety and can lead to addictions and cravings, which is why it is considered harmful to health.

CBD, on the other hand, is non-psychoactive and particularly revered for its medicinal potential and the ability to reduce stress and anxiety.

CBD is also considered a safe and effective natural remedy for patients with depression and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), when used in an appropriate manner.

However, there's still a lot to learn about CBD oiland how to use it judiciously in order to derive its medicinal benefits without the risk of adverse effects.

Pulmonary Fibrosis – Symptoms, Causes, Stages, and Treatment

Image
Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disorder that occurs when the tissues in the lungs become damaged followed by scarring. Scaring results in the formation of thick and stiff tissue that makes it more difficult for the lungs to expand and relax preventing them from working properly. As pulmonary fibrosis becomes worsens, the patient becomes short of breath in a progressive manner. The scarring linked to pulmonary fibrosis is often caused due to a combination of factors. However, in most cases, it is difficult to detect the exact cause that triggered the development of this condition. When no specific cause can be found, the condition is called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The damage caused due to pulmonary fibrosis cannot be reversed. However, medications and treatment may sometimes help to ease the symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life. In some patients, a lung transplant may be required. Stages of pulmonary fibrosis Stage 1: Recent diagnosis The common early

Management Of Respiratory Failure In COVID Patients

Management Of Respiratory Failure In COVID Patients It’s been more than 8 months now and still, the COVID-19 pandemic shows no sign of decline in the number of cases. What makes the COVID-19 pandemic a major cause of concern is the high risk of mortality associated with it, particularly due to respiratory failure. COVID-19 has a higher tropism for the lung and is known to cause severe pneumonia and ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), especially in patients with a weak immune system and existing co-morbidities. This marks the need for the physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers to stay abreast of the latest information about the risk of ARDS and the recommended protocol for the management of respiratory distress in COVID-19 patients. Clinical features of ARDS in COVID-19 patents Most patients with COVID-induced respiratory distress meet the Berlin definition of ARDS. However, some patients may exhibit a different phenotype of ARDS with lower lung weight, higher lu
