$CNPOF $RIV.V Can CBD Help Cure Hangovers?

November 12, 2019

Nothing brings you down from a fun night faster than a hangover. For years, people have tried all kinds of home remedies to help them transition from a night of partying to breakfast without the terrible hangover that comes in between, but sadly, none have worked. Well, you’ll be happy to know that apparently, a little known product called cannabidiol (CBD) just might do the trick and finally offer you a reprieve from hangovers.

Now, alcohol has a range of effects on your body, most of which result in the dreaded hangover. Large amounts of alcohol lead to dehydration, irritation and increased acid production in the gastrointestinal system, electrolyte imbalances, low blood sugar, vasodilation, and low quality sleep.

All of these issues result in the symptoms we collectively refer to as a hangover. These usually include headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, and fatigue. All of these symptoms are incredibly uncomfortable, and they will put you down for a while, whether you like it or not. But the question is, can CBD somehow alleviate them and purge you of your hangover?

Most hangovers are characterized by nausea, dizziness, and vomiting, and CBD is quite effective at managing these symptoms. Unlike conventional nausea treatments that result in side effects such as black spots on the tongue and a constant ringing noise in the ears, CBD is completely side effect-free.

The cannabis extract works by interacting directly with the endocannabinoid system, a peripheral nervous system that regulates feelings of nausea and regurgitation. It stimulates a neurotransmitter (5-Hydroxytryptamine), which then counteracts the neurotransmitters responsible for inducing vomiting. It also stimulates CB1 (cannabinoid) receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, not only reducing the feeling of nausea but also improving appetite.

Hangovers are also known to cause ear-splitting headaches, and CBD works quite effectively as a painkiller. Again, the cannabis extract works by interacting with the endocannabinoid nervous system uniquely. A review published in the June 2019 issue of Current Opinion in Neurology suggested that cannabidiol can affect the function and activity of the neural pathways that are responsible for pain control. The review also states that CBD can suppress the release of chemokines and cytokines, which are associated with inflammatory pain.

Yes, CBD can help manage hangovers. The compound has powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties that reduce nausea, vomiting, and headaches. However, the FDA hasn’t yet approved it as a medication, so be sure to consult your doctor before use.

Industry watchers strongly believe that CBD companies like Grapefruit Boulevard Investments Inc. (OTCQB: IGNG) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) aren’t surprised that the scientific community is confirming more benefits of CBD as the years go by.
