CBD oil can help Stop Nausea and Vomiting
What is happening in the body when we get nauseated? The brain, the GI system, and the nervous system all have a part in this. One key to controlling symptoms seems to be receptors in parts of the brain and in the GI tract that produce and bind with serotonin, a neurotransmitter.
Can CBD stop nausea and vomiting?
An upset stomach or the feeling of being nauseous might have more to do with the brain than the stomach. Cannabinoid receptors are found in areas of the brain associated with nausea and vomiting. THC is the main active ingredient in cannabis that acts on specific pathways found in the body known as cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are involved in the regulation of many bodily functions. Research shows that cannabinoid receptors suppress nausea and vomiting when they’re activated. CBD, marijuana’s other active compound, has also been shown to suppress nausea and vomiting. Endocannabinoids — cannabinoids found naturally in the body are thought to play a role in reducing the likelihood that someone will throw up.
State of mind during chemotherapy can include the “nocebo effect” – negative expectations of treatment – that leads to anticipatory nausea. Just the thought of inevitable side effects can be overwhelming. This is especially true if the first round of chemo is not treated effectively. Prescription antiemetics are not helpful for anticipatory nausea, but cannabis shows promise. For patients who have nausea caused by chemotherapy, radiation, or other identifiable reasons, cannabis can provide relief. THC and CBD all show promise in research labs and have already proven themselves in the homes of patients who have experience. The use of cannabis for nausea, and for vomiting due to chemotherapy or radiation, is accepted by many physicians who do not otherwise recommend cannabis. It is effective, well-tolerated, and while we may not understand all the mechanisms of action we do know it works.
Taking antiretroviral medication regularly is essential to successfully battling HIV/AIDS. Recent studies have shown that medical marijuana may help patients’ adherence to antiretroviral therapy, particularly for those suffering from nausea. A clinical trial of patients with HIV/AIDS and weight loss found that those who took THC had increased appetite and stopped losing weight.
