Toni Braxton Finds Relief from Lupus in CBD

Lupus is, in every way, a terrible disease that actually turns the body’s immune system against itself, attacking organs and tissue within the patient. And there are few treatments to relieve the effects of the disease. But, as Benzinga reports, singer Toni Braxton says she finds relief from her lupus symptoms through her use of CBD.

Braxton, a renowned Grammy-winning R&B artist, was diagnosed with lupus, which affects 240,000 Americans, in 2008. The disease has been a challenge to manage with her busy music career and has even caused her to cancel concert dates. But, as Braxton explains in the article, after trying some topical CBD by chance one day, she was immediately sold on its ability to treat her symptoms. Now, she has partnered with CBD brand Uncle Bud’s and is a featured spotlight of many of their promotional videos.
