CBD has been used and studied for a wide variety of health issues. The most robust scientific evidence is its effectiveness in treating some of the cruelest childhood epilepsy syndromes.
Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) typically don’t respond to antiseizure medications. In numerous studies, CBD was able to reduce the number of seizures and, in some cases, stop them altogether. Epidiolex, is the only medication infused with CBD approved by the FDA for these conditions.
