If there is any info I can get, I would appreciate it! \"</p>\n<hr>\n<p>Hi there!\nCannabis helps thousands of people deal with neuropathic pain. However, the research regarding CBD and neuropathic pain is sparse.  Although, in  a study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology,  researchers  found that chronic administration of CBD prevented  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.\n<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24117398\">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24117398</a></p>\n<p>However, 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.\n<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660/\">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660/</a></p>\n<p>drkim</p>\n<hr>\n<p>While I can't testify to which CBD oil is best, I can advise on what  to look for: 1. CO2 extraction 2. Whole plant philosophy 3. Organic  hemp or cannabis 4. Clearly labeled\nI hope this helps!</p>\n<p>These CBD oils check the above boxes:\n<a href=\"https://www.cbd.org/find\">https://www.cbd.org/find</a></p>\n<p>drkim</p>","timeToRead":1}},"defaultImage":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.5,"src":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg","srcSet":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/decd9/question-default-image.jpg 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/15aed/question-default-image.jpg 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/701ee/question-default-image.jpg 800w","srcWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/e8bcc/question-default-image.webp 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/4fec1/question-default-image.webp 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/2ad7f/question-default-image.webp 800w","sizes":"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"}}}},"pageContext":{"id":12194,"slug":"what-brand-of-cbd-oil-is-the-best-and-what-i-the-best-way-to-take-it-vaping-capsules-drops-etc","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
