CBD has taken the world by storm with its many proposed health benefits. Can CBD utilize neuroplasticity to help “heal” the brain? This article takes a look into what the research says and if the rumors are true.

What is Neuroplasticity?

Before we go any further let’s talk about what neuroplasticity actually means. It is a term that describes the brain rebuilding nerve connections that it might have lost or the brain creating new nerve connections. Sometimes nerves can become damaged through traumas such as brain injuries and the neuroplasticity of the brain allows the brain to “heal” itself and rebuild the damaged connections. Neuroplasticity also helps the brain with building new connections, like when you learn new information or have a new experience. It is what allows the brain to develop throughout our lives.
