Does CBD Work for Gastritis?
- Research in 2020 revealed that cannabidiol (CBD) had anti-inflammatory effects in rodent models of intestinal inflammation(1). Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining(2).
- A systematic review in 2019 suggested that CBD had anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties(3).
- A preclinical study in the British Journal of Pharmacology stated that CBD might be promising in alleviating vomiting and nausea caused by treatments, such as chemotherapy(4). Vomiting and nausea are common gastritis symptoms(5).
- Currently, the animal and human studies available focus on CBD’s effects on symptoms associated with gastritis.
- More research on CBD’s benefits on gastritis is warranted.
