Medical Applications

Due to its effects, it could help manage and treat the following:

Depression

One survey found that 70% of cannabis users who consumed CBD felt depression relief. Research validates this claim, suggesting that CBD may activate serotonin receptors to deliver mood-boosing and anti-anxiety benefits. The Blue Dragon Desert Frost strain, with its high CBD content, fits this therapeutic profile.

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

BDDF’s high CBD content and minimal-to-moderate THC levels make this strain a top choice for patients needing relief. Research shows CBD reduces pain by acting in various receptors throughout the body. For example, one study shows CBD binds TRPV1 receptors to mitigate pain perception and reduce inflammation. Other research suggests CBD interacts with spinal cord receptors to quell chronic inflammatory pain.

Dosing

Users should certainly watch the THC content in some types of BDDF. Everyone reacts to CBD differently, so users should start with a low dose and gradually increase it as they become more comfortable with the effects. Due to its CBD content, lower doses of BDDF may have more stimulating effects, whereas higher doses may lead to sedation.
