CBD oil is quickly becoming popular in the health & wellness world. Some people even call CBD a “treatment.”  Scientific research confirming CBD as a treatment is in its early stages, however, CBD oils show promise as treatments for several ailments.

Is CBD Officially A Treatment?

For most afflictions, it’s probably too early to really call CBD oil a treatment, though it shows promise in aiding treatments as part of a holistic approach to healthcare. Research about CBD oil is in its infancy. As such, CBD’s effectiveness as a treatment is based on limited studies, small studies and sometimes poorly designed research cases that may or may not involve human beings.

While future research may fully substantiate CBD oil as a “treatment,” CBD may also have unintended interactions with several medications, so before you start using CBD oil talk to your doctor. Put your health first and avoid potentially harmful drug interactions with CBD oil.
