There are two main types of seizures. Within those two types of seizures there are subtypes.

The first kind of seizure is a Generalized Seizure. Generalized Seizures involve your entire brain from the beginning. There are four subtypes for Generalized Seizures. These include: Tonic-clonic (grand mal), Absence seizures(petit mal), Febrile seizures, and Infantile spasms.

The second kind of seizures are Partial (focal) Seizures: There are two subtypes for Partial (focal) Seizures. These include: Focal onset aware seizure and Focal onset impaired awareness seizures.

Symptoms of seizures differ depending on the type of seizure occurring. These symptoms may include: uncontrollable, spastic movements of your body, particularly your arms or legs, stiffening and then loosening of limbs or muscles, loss of consciousness, staring into space, confusion, sudden emotional states that can include a feeling of doom, deja vu, fear, or euphoria, sweating and nausea, involuntary movements of your tongue or mouth, screaming, or crying, rapid blinking, and falling to the ground.

Seizures can happen with no explanation whatsoever, or they can happen due conditions or certain events. Treatments for seizures include medication whose side effects include feeling tired, stomach upset or discomfort, dizziness, or blurred vision. More treatments are surgery, vagus nerve stimulation, responsive nerve stimulation, and deep brain stimulation.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. CBD can help reduce the amount of seizures in children and adults.

CBD is a cannabis component that relieves stress and anxiety and has anti-seizure properties. It does not produce a “high” like another cannabis component called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Studies have found that on average, convulsive seizures decreased from nearly 13 seizures to about 6 seizures per month with cannabidiol.

Our AHS 3000mg full spectrum tincture can be taken sublingually and is perfect for helping to control seizures. CBD may help in seizure reduction and relief because it works as an anti-convulsant and protects the nervous system.

Over time the inflammation can cause bone erosion and joint deformity. Symptoms of RA include swollen joints, joint stiffness, fatigue, fever and loss of appetite. Treatment for RA include physical therapy, regular exercise, prescribed medications and in some cases joint damage correction surgery.

Medications prescribed for RA include Naproxen, Prednisone, Methotrexate, Leflunomide, Hydroxychloroquine, Sulfasalazine, Abatacept, Adalimumab andAnakinra. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include heart problems, kidney damage, thinning bones, bone marrow suppression, diabetes, liver damage, blood clots in lung and severe lung infection.

CBD can benefit RA sufferers because of its positive affect on pain without the negative side effects of prescribed medications. Researchers confirmed that CBD can reduce joint pain, inflammation and serve as a protectant to nerves. CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties could also help to slow down or stop the progression of RA. Our AHS 2500 mg CBD cream can be applied topically and is perfect for those who suffer from RA.

Our AHS 1500 mg CBD tincture can also be taken sublingually to alleviate RA symptoms. Always consult your primary care physician before starting a new treatment.
