  2. Anxiety and depression: CBD may help to reduce anxiety and depression by affecting the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

  3. Neuroprotective properties: CBD may have neuroprotective properties and may help to protect the brain from damage caused by conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

  4. Anti-inflammatory properties: CBD may have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce inflammation and swelling in the body.

  5. Epilepsy: CBD has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of seizures associated with certain types of epilepsy.

Historically, cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, and some historical accounts suggest that it was used for pain relief and other health conditions in ancient civilizations.
