Hypoxia-ischemia includes lack of oxygen in the blood, resulting in tissue damage in the body. Cannabid oil (CBD) has a beneficial effect on blood flow in the human body and therefore can help repair tissue damage and reduce symptoms due to hypoxia-ischemia. Causes of fatigue, shortness of breath and accelerated heart rate.
The human body needs oxygen to function.
Oxygen from the air enters the lungs and is then released to the blood. Through the blood, it goes to the cells in the body to supply them with energy. When insufficient oxygen temporarily reaches certain parts of the body, there are several consequences, including fatigue, shortness of breath and an accelerated heart rate. This can cause not only physical symptoms, but also psychological symptoms, such as difficulty concentrating and short-term memory problems. Blurred vision and impaired hearing also occur. Tissue damage can also occur.
What is hypoxia-ischemia?
Hypoxia occurs because the tissues in your body or parts of it have not received enough oxygen. There are different types of hypoxia, distinguished by the cause of its occurrence. In hypoxia-ischemia, the cause of the decrease in tissue blood flow and blood supply to the brain lies in fainting, heart problems, low temperatures due to narrowing of blood vessels or g-forces. So hypoxia-ischemia is a combination of poor blood supply to tissues and organs combined with lower oxygen levels in the blood.
What is CBD
CBD is an abbreviation for cannabid oil. In the Netherlands, the use of CBD is permitted. Moreover, it contains no ingredients that you can become under the influence of. It contains substances that are also found in the human body, namely cannabinoids. If your body lacks natural cannabinoids, you can supplement it with CBD, which is extracted from hemp plants. Because it is a substance, which is also found in your own body, your body will not reject CBD. The cannabinoids ingested through CBD have a beneficial effect on the symptoms of hypoxia-ischemia, reducing your symptoms.
How does CBD work in hypoxia-ischemia?
The endocannabionoid system in your body is directly affected by the use of CBD. This system consists of cannabis-like substances and when this system is not working properly, it affects various processes in your body. Failure of the endocannabionoid system to function properly also contributes to the development of hypoxia-ischemia.
CBD can dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow to the body. This restores more blood to your tissues and decreases the symptoms caused by poor circulation. Moreover, after oxygen deprivation in the tissues, there is more chance of inflammation. This can cause further tissue damage.
CBD protects your tissues from inflammation by inhibiting certain defense mechanisms in your body. CBD increases blood flow to the damaged tissues, thus supporting recovery.
