Relieving the symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue with CBD

Fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal disease that manifests itself as severe pain or tingling, and is often accompanied by symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, mood swings, and memory impairment. A patient diagnosed with fibromyalgia most often experiences random pains all over the body and the disease can also affect the nervous, immune, and hormonal system.

Fibromyalgia can occur in people of all ages, and most often the symptoms occur in women over 40 years of age.

The causes of the disease are not completely known, but it is believed that there are three main causes of fibromyalgia:  

  • Genetics: it is assumed that fibromyalgia is a disease caused by hereditary factors.

  • Contagious disease which causes fibromyalgia.

  • Emotional or physical injury: may occur after a serious injury or emotional trauma.

Fibromyalgia and diet

As with the treatment of many diseases, diet is crucial in fibromyalgia.

Many physicians recommend anti-inflammatory diet, as well as a vegetarian diet high in antioxidants.

Antioxidants help the body eliminate free radicals, which are often the cause of inflammation and stress.

How CBD works for fibromyalgia

Many physicians believe that fibromyalgia is closely related to the perception of pain in the brain. This is probably the reason why CBD helps relieve the symptoms of chronic pain caused by fibromyalgia.

CBD is thought to interrupt pain signals that are transmitted between the brain and the body. In addition, CBD is most well-known for its strong anti-inflammatory effects that help relieve chronic body pain.

Patients with fibromyalgia often suffer from insomnia, and CBD helps relieve this symptom.

Due to the versatile physiological and psychological effects of CBD on the human body, this compound has proven to be an extremely effective natural remedy in the treatment of fibromyalgia.
