Both CBD and THC have been shown to have immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties.</p>\n<p>In fact, a paper published by the University of South Carolina, School of  Medicine, stated that \"the fact that both Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) and  Cannabinoid-2 (CB2) receptors have been found on immune cells suggests that  cannabinoids play an important role in the regulation of the immune  system.\" They found that when THC was administered, immune cell activity  was reduced, which is to say that inflammation was reduced.\n<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2828614/\">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2828614/</a></p>\n<p>And  while cannabis research has historically focused on THC, synthetic  cannabinoids, or our own naturally occurring cannabinoids  (endocannabinoids), there is an evergrowing body of research regarding  the anti-inflammatory effects of CBD. In a study performed on mice with artificially induced  arthritis, researchers concluded that, similar to THC, \"CBD, through  its combined immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory actions, has a  potent anti-arthritic effect\" which may even \"block the progression of  arthritis.\"\n<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10920191\">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10920191</a>\nFurther,  a very recently published study concluded that \"topical CBD application  has therapeutic potential for relief of arthritis pain-related  behaviors and inflammation without evident side-effects.\"\n<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4851925/\">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4851925/</a></p>\n<p>drkim</p>\n<hr>\n<p>For autoimmune-inflammatory conditions, I often recommend high CBD:lowTHC products, such as the 18:1 products by Care By Design. Higher concentrations of CBD vs THC, such as 18CBD:1THC, will lessen,  or even eliminate psychoactive effects, while still providing pain relief.  However, products with similar levels  of CBD and  THC, such as 1CBD:1THC, are more effective at treating pain and inflammation. So, for most people, it takes some trial and error before finding a compromise that provides noticeable relief, while also avoiding unwanted side effects.<br>\nHope this helps!</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":12051,"slug":"what-cbd-thc-ratio-for-autoimmune-condition-polymalgia-rheumatic","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
