How to use CBD to relieve endometriosis?
In France, endometriosis affects nearly 10% of women of childbearing age, which represents approximately 1.5 to 2.5 million women.
What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease of the female reproductive system. More specifically, endometriosis is a disease related to the endometrium, the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus.
Usually, during menstruation, the endometrium naturally detaches itself from the uterus to be evacuated. In women with endometriosis, the cells that need to be evacuated travel to the fallopian tubes, vagina and ovaries, and continue to follow the menstrual cycle. Sometimes these cells reach other organs such as the rectum, colon or bladder, causing painful lesions that can lead to infertility.
When a woman with endometriosis has her period, the blood she passes contains cells and tissues from both inside and outside the uterus. If this blood comes into contact with other organs within the abdomen, it can cause significant inflammation and pain.
Endometriosis can manifest itself through many symptoms such as abdominal and pelvic pain (intense during menstruation), pain during sexual intercourse, chronic fatigue, urinary problems or even digestive problems.
Regardless of their intensity, these symptoms have a significant impact on the quality of life of women with this disease.
But does CBD (or cannabidiol) help naturally relieve the symptoms of endometriosis?
What is cannabidiol (CBD)?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is extracted from the hemp plant (cannabis sativa). It belongs to the large family of cannabinoids, just like THC .
However, unlike the latter, CBD does not cause psychotropic effects and does not lead to any addiction. CBD is therefore not dangerous for health, its consumption is completely legal in France.
Today, 6 million French consumers take CBD to promote relaxation.
Can CBD Help With Endometriosis?
Even though several studies are trying to highlight this, CBD being considered a new food in France, it does not yet benefit from a health claim and we cannot therefore say that CBD would relieve pain and/or endometriosis.
We can say that cannabidiol acts directly on the receptors of the endocannabinoid system. According to a study , some of its receptors are present in the cells of the uterus.
Please note, although some studies show an interest in the CBD molecule and CBD is commonly consumed for female ailments, it is important to remember that today, no study is recognized by France, so we cannot say that CBD can be effective in relieving endometriosis.
