In an article posted on the web page, Dementia Care Central, they stated:
“Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that affects one’s nervous stem, with the average age on onset at 60 years old. Simply stated, brain cells that produce the neurotransmitter, dopamine, which are responsible for transmitting messages to the body in relation to movement, become damaged and die. This results in a variety of movement issues, which may include tremors, lack of facial expression, difficulty balancing, and stiffness of muscles. In addition, PD may develop into Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD), which impacts one’s cognitive functioning, such as the ability to remember things, make good decisions, and pay attention.”
CBD CAN HELP WITH THE SYMPTOMS OF PARKINSON’S
The article went on to mention how studies have shown that CBD may offer much needed relief from the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s.
Parkinson’s affects the brain’s ability to produce dopamine. Researchers Alyssa S. Laun and Zhao-Hui Son from the University of Kentucky found that CBD acts as an “inverse agonist” on CPR6 receptors. This indicates that CBD responds within the receptors to provide therapeutic effects against the symptoms of Parkinson’s. This important discovery is chronicled here.
