Stroke and other forms of cerebral ischemia occur when blood flow to the brain is temporarily reduced, depriving neurons of oxygen and nutrients and often leading to memory loss, inflammation, and long-term brain damage. In this study, researchers investigated whether cannabigerol (CBG)—a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in hemp—could help protect the brain following transient global cerebral […]

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Cannabinoids in Neurodegenerative and Central Nervous System Disorders (pub. July 2025)
Many neurodegenerative diseases—including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington’s disease—are strongly linked to chronic inflammation within the central nervous system (CNS). This review examines how cannabinoids interact with both the nervous and immune systems and explores their potential role in reducing inflammation that contributes to nerve cell damage. Researchers highlight that […]
Cannabidiol (CBD) and Neurodegeneration: What Research Says About Brain Health Support (pub. July 2024)
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, multiple sclerosis, and ALS involve the progressive loss of neurons, leading to declines in memory, movement, and overall brain function. These conditions are linked to factors like aging, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and abnormal protein buildup in the brain. Traditional treatments often provide only short‑term symptom relief and […]
