Overview

Cannabidiol is one of the active compounds from the cannabis plant, known as a cannabinoid. This particular cannabinoid has been praised for several potential health benefits. It is able to interact positively with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), an innate system in our body that controls a number of functions from mood all the way to our immune system. By helping the ECS to work properly, CBD supplements could help us to stay fit and healthy.When a herpes outbreak occurs, the virus is attacking cell tissues in the mucous membranes, causing pain, blisters and inflammation. This is caused in part by white blood cells rushing to the area to combat the attack. White blood cells are part of our immune system, and if CBD can really interact with our immune system through the ECS, then it could help this process to work more effectively.What's more, CBD is actually a patented anti-inflammatory in the United States. This means that it could take down the inflammation in the area and lessen any pain caused as a result.A few studies are being carried out into CBD as an anti-viral. While nothing is yet set in stone, some conclusions have been positive. For example, a study in 2010 suggested phytocannabinoids (those found in plants) were able to help in the fight against persistent infections - like herpes. The study was done on in vitro and in vivo subjects, though, meaning it might not be fully effective on adults; we will have to await more studies.
