As the world is getting broken with the increasing number of COVID-19 cases. The scientists are simultaneously worried about the cure for coronavirus.
From the start of 2020 and till date, medical health professionals had tried many kinds of medicines for treating COVID-19 but none of the medications has been so accurate that it precisely cures the disease.

As you all might know that Coronavirus attacks the lungs by developing fibrosis around them causing severity in breathing problems followed by complete choking of lungs and pulmonary blockage. (if not taken care)
In the study, the researcher states that fever and other viral diseases are dispersed with the help of cytokine in our body.
The scientists have also found that this happened due to severe inflammation in your body.
Due to this fact, the researchers are tending towards the use of CBD and its derivated products because they are widely known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
The extreme byproducts of inflammation can most likely be treated with the help of CBD!
The scientists are already looking for the drugs that can reduce the activity of cytokine in a human body but some of the drugs like Tocilizumab which were earlier tested were found failed due to its drastic side-effects like inflammation in the pancreas that is way too hazardous.
In comparison to that, the Cannabis was found way more positive in treating the inflammation with no side effects.
