Millennials are Preferring CBD Oil Treatments

The CBD Bandwagon has rolled too far to be pushed back into oblivion: or that’s what the recent studies believe. According to the study conducted by the NHS, about 50% of the millennials prefer to use CBD oil over prescription medicine any day. But what does that truly mean for the CBD Market? And why is it so important in the modern day world?

The Study

The National Health Services of England (NHS for short), has been funding different research behind providing better medical services to the patients. Recently, they had commissioned a study on 2000 adult subjects in the United Kingdom, in order to find the number of health-conscious millennials who are preferring to turn towards Cannabidiol oil as medication.

According to the studies, around 30% of the Britons are careful about going to psychiatrists for their mental ailments in the fear of being prescribed medicine that might be overkill for their symptoms; leaving them with severe side-effects and medicine dependencies. 38% of them are leaning towards CBD Oil for treating their symptoms, while 24% of the subjects prefer other holistic methods of treatment. Interestingly, if we separated these subjects with respect to their age, we can see that almost 50% of the millennials in the UK prefer to use CBD as a treatment for their mental ailments.

CBD Benefits

We have already spoken about the benefits of CBD countless times on our website. But for the newer readers among you, a slight recap might be in order for you to understand why so many people are leaning towards it nowadays. First of all, CBD is the component of Cannabis that isn’t addictive. This is a big deal as it helps its user to ensure that he or she will not become dependent on this medicine once he or she starts using it.

Second, it has many reported benefits in the beauty industry, the medical industry as well as in the world of psychiatry. In terms of beauty, its topical use can provide smoother skin, reduce dryness, reduce acne breakouts and ease skin irritation. As for its medicinal properties, it is a great pain reliever and can be considered as an alternative to a lot of other addictive painkillers such as opium.

It works great as a stress-reliever, anxiety reducer and sleeps inducer. But its most prominent use would most likely be the properties that make it suitable to be used as a medication for controlling epileptic seizures. With little to no side-effects, the benefits of CBD is huge.

How it affects the Market

After seeing such a rise in its popularity among different age groups, it’s no surprise that CBD can have a great impact on the market. According to different estimates, the CBD might hold a 17 Billion USD market in the world for beauty treatments and over 20 Billion in combined markets, by the year 2024. With such prospects dangling in the horizon, it’ll hardly come as a surprise if this research incites the British Government to relax some of their laws concerning this substance.
