In the past two years more research has been conducted on CBD oil's effects on seizures, in people with Epilepsy, than ever before. This is largely due to the shift in marijuana mid-set among the majority of Americans today. In fact, 30 states within the USA, have some type of legal marijuana industry, weather it be for medical, or recreational purposes.

Now we're entering 2019 and trusted sources are conducting in-depth clinical studies to further discover medical applications for marijuana and CBD in human beings. The National Institute Of Health has already concluded that CBD oil has health benefits with low risk of side-effects, or addiction. Their study showed that CBD can reduce pain and anxiety symptoms. More studies are planned in 2021 as well.

One of the biggest discoveries about CBD oil and Seizures came when GW Pharmaceuticals introduces Epidiolex to the market. This marijuana derived medication is high in CBD content and effectively reduces seizures intensity and duration, in the most severe cases.

In 2018 the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved Epidiolex to treat Dravets Syndrome, the most severe type of Epilepsy. Now approved patients can get this CBD oil medication for Epilepsy prescribed by a physician, legally.

Some Neurologists use CBD oil as an alternative treatment for Epilepsy in their practices today. The patients that benefit the most are the ones that have negative side-effects to traditional treatments. They can cause debilitating symptoms like nausea, fatigue, tiredness, pain and anxiety. Using marijuana based medications is great because patients get the beneficial properties, which are free from psychoactive, or negative side effects. Having medical marijuana is a huge advancement in patient care that's only evolving into more effective medications each year.

It's good to know there are alternative treatments for Epilepsy like CBD oil based medications, that are effective.
