The Potential Of Kratom & Full Spectrum CBD In Managing Chronic Pain

CBD Oil 25-01-2024

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the potential of natural remedies for managing chronic pain. Among these, kratom and full-spectrum CBD have emerged as promising options due to their reported analgesic properties and relatively low risk of addiction compared to traditional opioid medications.

Both kratom and full-spectrum CBD oil have shown promise in alleviating a variety of chronic conditions, including but not limited to:

Chronic pain is characterised by pain that lasts longer than 3 months. It is pain that does not go away as expected after an injury, illness or disease.

Chronic pain leads to sleep issues, weakened immune system and can lead to low-mood, fear, anxiety, stress and diminished career & social opportunities.

Broad Spectrum & Isolate Full Spectrum CBD Oil will not work for chronic pain - they do not offer the “entourage effect” that only the Full Spectrum Oil offers. The Entourage Effect is the 400 plant compounds working together synergistically to produce the strongest, and most effective healing on the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

Research conducted in the US in 2020 shows that Full Spectrum CBD Oil benefits chronic pain, and will also improve sleep, and reduce inflammation for those suffering from chronic pain. The Researchers compiled the results of multiple systematic reviews covering over 20 trials and studies done in 2020. Their research concluded that there is substantial evidence that Full Spectrum CBD Oil is an effective treatment for chronic pain in adults.

Full Spectrum CBD Oil implements its pain-relieving effects with interactions in the endocannabinoid, inflammatory, and nociceptive (pain sensing) systems. The endocannabinoid system consists of cannabinoid receptors that interact with our own naturally occurring cannabinoids. This system is involved in regulating functions including mood and pain perception. If we look at history, the use of hemp and cannabis medicinally for pain relief dates back at least 4,000 years (some say 10,000 years!) It has only been in the last 100 years that humans have placed regulations and laws around the use and sale of this plant.

Full Spectrum CBD Oil can also be applied topically to pain, in addition to orally. You can add it to your bath, or mix it with MCT coconut oil and apply directly to skin and pain points. Give the oil at least 2 months of daily internal usage before deciding if it is right for you. The research shows that the 2 month mark is where most chronic pain sufferers see the biggest improvements with Full Spectrum CBD Oil. It does not work in the same way that codeine or paracetamol work to relieve pain.

Understanding Kratom and Its Unique Interaction with receptors in the brain

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) offers a unique interaction with the body’s mu opioid receptor (MOR), distinguishing it from classical opioids like morphine. When opioids bind to the MOR, they typically activate G proteins, which provide pain relief, and beta arrestin 2, a protein linked to tolerance, desensitization, and dangerous side effects like respiratory depression, which can lead to overdose.
