Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of CBD in Cancer: A Naturopathic Perspective

​CBD and CBG are part of my own cancer toolbox.  I use an oral CBG paste on a daily basis for a host of reasons.  If you are going through cancer treatments and are thinking of using plant & nutritional medicines, please let your oncologist know.
 
Here are some of the benefits of CBD 
 

• Cancer-Related Symptoms:

Chemotherapy will often cause nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. CBD's antiemetic properties may provide relief, enhancing the overall quality of life during cancer treatment.
 

• Pain Management:

Chronic pain can be a big issue for anyone dealing with cancer. CBD exhibits analgesic properties and interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in pain modulation. 
 

• Anti-Inflammatory Effects:

CBD's anti-inflammatory properties may help modulate the inflammatory response, potentially contributing to the overall management of cancer-related inflammation and associated symptoms.
 

• Anxiety and Depression Support:

Every cancer diagnosis often brings emotional challenges, including anxiety and depression. CBD interacts with receptors in the brain associated with mood regulation, suggesting potential benefits in alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression. However, it's crucial to approach mental health support with a holistic perspective, including professional counseling when needed.
 

• Immune Modulation:

A balanced immune response is vital for the body's ability to recognize and combat cancer cells. CBD's immunomodulatory effects may contribute to a more robust immune function.
 
As a naturopathic practitioner living with Stage 4 Cancer, my approach is an individualized one. It’s essential to collaborate with your medical team to avoid any unwanted interactions between treatment. While CBD shows promise in supporting cancer patients, it should be viewed as part of an integrative care plan rather than a standalone solution. As we navigate the evolving landscape of CBD and cancer, an open and informed approach remains paramount in providing the best possible care for anyone going through cancer.
