I don't have personal experience in treating sunburn with CBD, but in theory it should help reduce some inflammation of the skin and help to keep you calm while it's healing. If you have open sores or any physical symptoms other than inflammed skin, you may want to visit a doctor. Otherwise, look for CBD products that are alcohol free and free from other chemicals that irritate your skin. Aloe is good for sunburn, too, as is staying hydrated. Prevention is the best medicine!

I'm in NY where MM is legal. Not sure about CBD oil. Suggestions? Thanks\"\n_____________________\nHello,\nHere is an excellent answer to your answer, provided by Dr. Sherellen Gerhart:\n\nThe Endocannabinoid system that is present in our own bodies plays a  partial role in voluntary movement. There is a relatively high  concentration of CB1 receptors in the Basal Ganglia and related  structures. This is  the part of the brain mostly commonly affected in  Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders.\n\nSurveys of  patients with movement disorders (average age over 65) show reported  improvements in bradykinesia (slow or halting-type movements), muscle  rigidity, and tremor with use.\n\nA small study done in 1986 showed  Cannabidiol (CBD) produced some reduction of dystonia (inappropriate  movement/a type of spasticity) at doses under 300mg/day. This is much  higher dose than generally recommended for CBD but, does indicate a  large therapeutic treatment window for cannabis. The average dose of CBD  that demonstrates perceivable changes in symptoms ranges between 2.5  and 20mg.\n\nMore recent studies (past 6 years) show varying  responses to treatment with THC and or CBD, but when surveyed,  Parkinsons' patients consistently report improvement in subjective  symptoms with cannabis use. Regular use at lower doses seems to be  needed to sustain benefits.\n\n\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\n(continued)\nWhile Parkinson's and Essential Tremor are considered separate  diagnoses, the movement origins  for these diseases have some common  biological pathways.\n\nThe International Essential Tremor Foundation addresses this issue in more detail and the article is worth a review:\n\nhttp://www.essentialtremor.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/TremorTalkApril2014FINAL.pdf\n\nMore  study is still needed, but I recommend a trial of CBD concentrated  products to determine personal benefit. Keep notes to determine response  to treatment and better titrate your dosing. You can find concentrated  CBD elixirs or tinctures at many dispensaries. Consider starting with a  2:1 or 4:1 ratio of CBD to THC or higher if you feel sensitive to the  THC effects.\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11800-markdown","title":"How much CBD Oil should be taken for diabetic neuropathy","slug":"how-much-cbd-oil-should-be-taken-for-diabetic-neuropathy","content":"\n_____________________\nHello,\nCannabis helps thousands of people deal with neuropathic pain. In fact, in New  York -- which has only approved medical cannabis for a very limited number of conditions -- 41% of  medical cannabis patients are being treated for neuropathic pain (by  far the most commonly treated condition).\nhttps://neuropathyjournal.org/cannabis-use-neuropathic-pain-part-1-of-3/\n\nUnfortunately, however, the research regarding isolated CBD and neuropathic pain is sparse. Although, in a study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology, researchers found that chronic administration of CBD prevents  paclitaxel-induced  neuropathy (PAC) (paclitaxel is a common chemotherapy agent which often  causes neuropathic pain). Interestingly, they found that the cannabinoid  receptors CB1 and CB2 were not involved in preventing the  pain from  developing. Rather, they concluded that CBD is protective against PAC-induced neurotoxicity mediated in part by the serotonin receptor system; modulation of the serotonin receptor system is also the method that antidepressant drugs are thought to affect neuropathic pain.\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24117398\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nHowever, there is a significant amount of research showing that  Sativex -- an oromucosal spray with 1CBD:1THC --  effectively reduces neuropathic pain.  In 2005, Sativex was approved in Canada for the treatment of central neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis, and in 2007 for intractable cancer pain. Numerous   randomized clinical trials have demonstrated safety and efficacy for  Sativex in central and peripheral neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer pain.\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660/\n\nWhile there is no best cbd oil product, there is probably a best ratio of CBD:THC to suit your goals. Products with higher concentrations of CBD vs THC, such as 15CBD:1THC, will lessen, or even eliminate, psychoactive effects. However, products with similar levels of CBD and THC have been shown to alleviate pain most. So, for most people, it  takes some trial and error before finding an ideal compromise. Dosages will vary according to the patient's goals, pain level, tolerance, current medications, the CBD to THC ratio and other factors. Accordingly, I recommend that you consult with a qualified physician.\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nIt's worth noting that no lethal dose of CBD has been identified, no dose known to cause adverse effects or organ toxicity in humans has been identified, and no dose of CBD has been identified as the minimal or maximal amount to take for any medical condition.  As Dr. Kim notes, it is very much trial and error as to how much to take, and other medications that are being taken may be an important factor in figuring it out.  If undertaking a program involving escalating doses of CBD it would definitely be a good idea to be under the active care a physician who would be on the lookout for the development of any problems.  \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11799-markdown","title":"Can you please tell me how much CBD oil a person needs who has","slug":"can-you-please-tell-me-how-much-cbd-oil-a-person-needs-who-has","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11787-markdown","title":"What is the best cbd oil product for aleviating pain and inflammation from RA?","slug":"what-is-the-best-cbd-oil-product-for-aleviating-pain-and-inflammation-from-ra","content":"\n_____________________\nWhile there is no best cbd oil product, there is probably a best ratio of CBD:THC to suit your goals.

Wondering why I experienced a high and sedation when CBD supposedly doesnt impair you in any way like THC?I felt a slight impairment of my vision and a foggy feeling in my head and felt less alert and reactive while driving from the CBD. I’ve only been taking it for a few days and have lessened the dose to like 12.5 ml twice a day and notice less impairment. Wondering if it’s my brain getting used to the CBD and if the Sedation and impairment of senses will subside so I can go up to a more therapeutic dose as I decrease my Zoloft dose slowly.  \"\n_____________________\nHello,\nFirst and foremost, please discontinue taking the hemp derived CBD and consult with your primary care physician immediately. Also, if not already doing so, you should taper off of the Zoloft under the supervision of your prescribing physician -- not doing so may result in withdrawal symptoms, including: anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, depression, mood swings, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, flu-like symptoms, headache and sweating; your symptoms may be due to improper tapering.\n\nI also recommend that you dispose of that bottle of CBD oil. Although unlikely, that oil may have not been processed correctlly, which possibly may lead to higher levels of THC than allowed. \nAdditionally, because CBD, THC and Zoloft are all metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, I recommend that you discontinue cannabis products altogether until you've completed the tapering down of Zoloft.\n\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nHello Tcylinder,\nI do not doubt anything you're telling me. I also do not doubt the people relaying their supporting anecdotal accounts. However, the science, thus far at least, behind CBD's non-psychoactivity is clear; the reason is the CB1 receptor. THC binds the CB1 receptors in the brain with high affinity, which then leads to many of the effects of cannabis, including sedation and becoming \"high.\" However, CBD binds the CB1 receptor very weakly (low affinity). Furthermore, CBD is actually a weak inhibitor of the CB1 receptor. Therefore, I am somewhat skeptical that it's the CBD causing the mild high and sedative effects.\n\nHowever, the science behind cannabis' effects, benefits and detriments is still in its infancy -- especially so when it comes to CBD -- so it is possible that CBD is what's causing your symptoms. I still recommend that you consult your prescribing physician and that you discontinue the CBD until advised otherwise by your doctor.\nRegards,\nDr. Kim \n\ndrkim\n_____________________\n I'm curious about whether you've discussed any of this with your physician who is prescribing the Zoloft? As Dr. Kim noted, CBD may compete with Zoloft for metabolism, potentially affecting the level of both substances in your system and making assumptions about dose vs effect less reliable.  There is also considerable individual variation in this area of human biochemistry.  And, while CBD does not bind to CB1 receptors in the nervous system the way THC does, it does modulate the interaction of THC with those receptors, which is a basis for exploring the differences in effects of various CBD:THC ratios.  I do want to mention that while some apparent medical effects have been noted at various doses of CBD there is little, if any, science demonstrating target or optimum doses associated with those effects.  In other words, this is still 'folk-medicine.'  So is the idea that some people may experience a 'subtle high' with CBD alone.  I'm fond of saying there is wisdom in folk-medicine, it's just hard to find out which wisdom is real.  Finally, I'd like to add that many patients previously on SSRIs have found cannabis useful enough for moderating mood that they are able to discontinue the SSRI entirely  For those whose work situation requires avoiding any overt pschoactivity, preparations such as 20:1 CBD:THC during that part of the day may be helpful.  I hope you find a regimen that suits you. \n\ndrelkind","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":36,"numPages":38,"currentPage":4,"id":5583,"name":"Oil","slug":"oil","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
