It is important to keep the joint at rest during these very painful attacks. Reposez vous pendant cette période. Because it is during this phase that the destruction of cartilage occurs.
CBD: a natural and effective treatment
CBD works on the body's endocannabinoid system, which regulates various functions in our body, including joint and muscle pain. Cannabidiol and its derivatives – CBG and CBN – have natural anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anxiolytic properties with no long-term adverse effects (unlike conventional and chemical solutions):
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound naturally found in hemp. Unlike THC, it has no psychoactive effects. It is legal to consume CBD. You can therefore benefit from its therapeutic benefits without any high or addictive effects, nor the adverse effects associated with certain chemical medications.

CBD has been shown to reduce the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These proteins signal inflammation in the body. By decreasing their production, CBD helps moderate the excessive inflammatory response often associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis.
According to some scientists, CBD also activates TRPV1 (vanilloid type 1) receptors, which are involved in pain regulation. This activation contributes to the reduction of pain associated with osteoarthritis.
CBD acts as a partial “agonist” (substance) of the serotonergic 5-HT1A receptor, a receptor associated with the regulation of mood and anxiety. CBD can therefore have anxiolytic effects, contributing to a feeling of calm and well-being.
