CBD is a hot item in the wellness community right now, for a lot of reasons. Mainly, it shows great promise in a lot of areas. Naturally, with a global health crisis, researchers are looking at CBD, and it may be helpful, key word “may.”
There is exciting research regarding CBD and Covid-19, but its preliminary, and in no way suggests that anyone make a run on CBD products. The operating theory is that CBD may reduce ACE-2 expression and pro-inflammatory cytokines to combat lung inflammation. A recent study conducted at Augusta University, led by Babak Baban,PhD ,studying Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, found that CBD showed promise in reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, this refers to the cytokine storm that is the body’s response to the infection, and results in much of the reported pulmonary damge. Early indications are that CBD did help in reduction of inflammation and some reversal of tissue damage. A recent Isreali study indicates that CBD could be more effective that corticosteroids in the treatment of lung inflammation.
The important thing to realize is that the research, while exciting and promising, only indicates the need for further study. It is also important to realize that this research has not yet been conducted on humans. Science is a process, and regarding CBD, the endocannabinoid system, Covid-19, and how it all intersects, the work has only just begun.
