CBD Relieves Peripheral Neuropathy
A common complication of diabetes, peripheral neuropathy can also be caused by chemotherapy or various health conditions that damage nerves in the hands or feet. It’s difficult to treat—but topical CBD in a cream or lotion can help, according to a study of 29 patients led by Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego. Compared to a placebo, daily application of a topical CBD product containing 250 mg of CBD per 3 fluid ounces for four weeks significantly reduced intense or sharp pain and cold and itchy sensations, with no adverse effects.
