CBN, cannabinol. A natural pain reliever and sleep aid. The popularity of cannabinoids is increasing more and more, but the best known remains CBD (cannabidiol). However, there are many other interesting cannabinoids, each with their own specific effects. This article is about CBN, less known but no less interesting.
What is CBN?
CBN is one of the many cannabinoids from the cannabis plant. When cannabis is heated and exposed to oxygen, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is converted into CBN (cannabinol). Cannabinol is mainly found in old and original landrace cannabis plants and only occurs in small amounts in the plant. This makes it difficult to extract CBN in its pure form. Difficult but not impossible, especially for Optima Formula.
There are ever newer and more innovative methods and extraction equipment on the market. Optima Formula cooperates with companies that develop these methods themselves. In this way we are on top of them and can guarantee that the purity of the loose cannabinol is phenomenal.
CBN has an analgesic, calming and sleep-inducing effect
The most interesting thing about CBN is its analgesic effect, but also its sleep-inducing power, its calming effect and the fact that it has only a mild psychoactive effect (in other words it does not give a strong “high” feeling). These properties make cannabinol one of the most impressive cannabinoids.
In the Netherlands and in other countries, more and more (clinical) studies are being conducted into the effect of CBN. Medicines that can be combined with CBN oil are being looked at, but pure CBN oil is also being looked at as a future natural medicine against pain. Various studies can be found on https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Optima Formula hopes that after all studies, cannabinol will be used in its natural form as a medicine and that no synthetic form will be made of it. This has already happened with CBD (cannabidiol). Because this is an “easier” and cheaper way, it is increasingly on the market. We will continue to work hard to keep bringing CBN, as well as the other cannabinoids, to the market in its purest and most natural form.
Experiences with CBN in practice
For over a year we have been using CBN oil in our Optima Health practice and in a number of clinics at home and abroad. This is a tremendous asset to, among others, people in great pain. Dozens of patients in our practice have reported to us that after using our CBN oil they have no, or almost no pain anymore. There are also patients who, thanks to our CBN oil, are partially or completely off their strong analgesic medication.
Patients who do not experience enough relaxation with the help of CBD oil, notice that the CBN oil does give them the desired relaxation. CBN oil also helps our patients to sleep better, to relax more and (just like CBD oil) to calm the thoughts and nervous system.
CBN in its purest form, without secondary substances.
At Optima Formula, CBN oil is only available in pure form, without secondary substances. It is always wise to first consult with your practitioner or doctor and not just stop taking your medication. Always follow the instructions in the package insert. We also have doctors and therapists within our team who can answer your questions or consult with you.
Summary
In short, cannabinol is a very interesting cannabinoid with mainly a pain-relieving, calming and sleep-inducing effect. More background information can be found at https://www.optimacbd.com/cbn-cannabinol/
