As the world continues to grapple with the pandemic, it is crucial to stay informed, adhere to safety measures, and support efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.
In the face of chronic diseases and medical-conditions, such as COVID-19, the importance of health-and-wellness practices cannot be overstated. As research progresses, one promising area is cannabidiol (CBD), a compound found in cannabis, which has shown potential for treating symptoms associated with various diseases. For instance, a study published in the journal 'Neurotherapeutics' suggests CBD may help reduce seizures in people with epilepsy. On a global front, the pandemic has highlighted the need for increased medical resources and scientific advancements to better manage and cure chronic diseases like COVID-19.
