Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease of connective tissue and is immunological in nature. Its causes are not really known, with either genetic or environmental factors (e.g. smoking or a history of viral illness) suspected. Some of the symptoms are visible to the naked eye, namely swelling of the joints and periarticular tissues of the hands and feet. The invisible ones are joint effusions that do not cause redness of the skin. And the perceptible and extremely troublesome ones are the soreness of the joints on pressure and their morning stiffness, which is caused by the accumulation of oedematous fluid during sleep. This condition reduces the mobility of the joints, deforming them and causing often unbearable pain.<\/p>\n

These symptoms are often accompanied by sub-febrile states, feelings of fatigue, muscle aches and anorexia, resulting in weight loss. Over time, bone mass loss, osteoporosis and bone erosions also occur. <\/p>\n

RA affects women more often (3 times) between 30 and 50 years of age. In 10-20% of the population, it appears after the age of 60, at which point the difference between the number of men and women developing RA becomes blurred. <\/p>\n

Rheumatoid arthritis often leads to disability and is also accompanied by various complications, such as atherosclerosis.<\/p>\n

Treatment includes immunosuppressive drugs, supplemented with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoids. Research is also being conducted into the use of cannabinoids in the treatment of RA.<\/p>\n

CBD oil in the fight against the pain of diseased joints<\/b><\/span><\/font>

Pain is an intrinsic companion of rheumatoid arthritis.<\/span>
<\/p>\n

In contrast, a study conducted on rats in 2017 showed that CBD is effective against joint pain. At the same time, no side effects of its use were observed. Furthermore, most of the drugs used for joint pain relief are administered orally. This is, of course, associated with side effects. This is because they often irritate the mucous membranes of the intestines and stomach. <\/span>
<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Such problems are not posed by <\/span>CBD oils<\/a>. These are natural preparations, derived from the inflorescence of the cannabis plant, with few side effects. They are hydrophobic substances, so they are poorly absorbed into the bloodstream when taken orally (which is why they are placed under the tongue), but they have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. And they are effective. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Furthermore, it can be applied directly to the affected areas as it is well absorbed through the skin. The study clearly indicated that topical application of CBD blocked pain in osteoarthritis. It also proved that the prophylactic administration of CBD prevented the subsequent development of pain and also nerve damage.<\/span><\/div>\n

Cannabidiol in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis<\/b><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2014, Japanese scientists conducted a study on mice which clearly showed that, in addition to its analgesic effects, CBD can be used in the treatment of RA. Indeed, the application of cannabidiol had positive effects, even leading to a quieting of the joint disease. Mice were administered a cannabinoid called JWH133, which had a threefold effect. Firstly, it inhibited the body's secretion of inflammatory substances. Secondly, treatment with JWH133 reduced serum levels of the anti-collagen IgG1 antibody, which helped to alleviate the arthritis. This is a really big success, as an excess of these enhances the inflammatory response in RA. And thirdly, there was a significant reduction in the number of osteoclasts, i.e. osteogenic cells, which are responsible for the formation of erosions of rheumatoid origin. <\/p>\n

The results of the animal studies conducted are extremely promising. And they are certainly only a prelude. They show that cannabidiol has extraordinary potential and that, in the future, both it and other cannabinoids will form the basis for the production of effective and safe drugs to treat rheumatoid arthritis.<\/p>\n
