CBD and epilepsy in children: studies, precautions and support
September 4, 2025
Living withepilepsy often means adapting one's daily life, following a sometimes heavy medical treatment and learning to cope with theunpredictability of seizures. In this context, some people, in agreement with their care team, seek complementary solutions to promote general well-being. Among them,Full Spectrum CBD oil is attracting growing interest, thanks in particular to its complete cannabinoid and terpene profile, often highlighted for itsentourage effect.
Before going any further, an important reminder: CBD is not a medicine and in no way replaces a prescribed anti-epileptic treatment. The aim of this article is informative: to provide clear guidelines, explain what a Full Spectrum oil is, and present what the scientific literature suggests about cannabidiol in supporting the well-being of people with epilepsy-without making any medical claims. If you'd like to find out more, take a look at our dedicated page: CBD and epilepsy.

Understanding epilepsy and its impact on everyday life
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by seizures of varying intensity and duration. These seizures are linked to abnormal electrical activity in certain areas of the brain. Although epilepsy takes very different forms from one person to another, it has one thing in common: it can impact on quality of life (fatigue, alertness, anticipatory stress, professional and social constraints).
1️⃣ The main types of crisis (overview)
Focal seizures: these start in a specific area of the brain. Manifestations may be sensory, motor or cognitive.
Generalized seizures: immediately involve both cerebral hemispheres; some are accompanied by loss of consciousness.
Absences: brief, sometimes discreet forms, marked by momentary disconnection.
💡What you need to remember:
Every epilepsy is unique. Diagnosis and management are personalized by the neurologist. Any supportive approach-including the possible use of CBD-mustbe considered in coordination with the care team.
2️⃣ Conventional treatments: indispensable, but sometimes restrictive
Anti-epileptic drugs are the cornerstone of treatment. Their aim is to reduce the frequency andintensity of seizures. Depending on the patient's profile, therapeutic response may vary, and some patients may experience adverse effects (drowsiness, digestive disorders, etc.). It is often in this context that interest arises in complementary, non-substitutive approaches, such as CBD oils.
3️⃣ Why mention CBD in this context?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid, studied for its tolerability profile and potential interactions with the endocannabinoid system. Some clinical data and feedback suggest that it may contribute - incertain individuals and under medical supervision - to better overall comfort. When we speak ofFull Spectrum CBD oil, we're referring to an extract that preserves the richness of the plant's compounds (cannabinoids and terpenes), often cited for their entourage effect-aconcept according to which the synergy of molecules could amplify the extract'soverall benefit for well-being.
💡What you need to remember:
Full Spectrum CBD oil does not cure epilepsy. It can, in certain cases and under medical advice, be part of an overall wellness approach for people with epilepsy.
What is Full Spectrum CBD oil?
Full Spectrum CBD oil is considered the most complete form of hemp extract. It contains not only cannabidiol (CBD), but also a wide range of other cannabinoids naturally present in the plant, as well as terpenes and flavonoids. This diversity of molecules makes it particularly popular with those seeking a holistic, authentic approach to hemp.
1️⃣ Full Spectrum definition
A so-called Full Spectrum oil contains all the active compounds of hemp, such as :
The main cannabinoids: CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN...
A trace of THC (always less than 0.3% in France and Europe, so no psychotropic effect).
Terpenes: aromatic molecules that contribute to flavor and well-being.
Flavonoids: natural antioxidants.
This complete composition respects the integrity of the plant, offering an experience closer to the original nature of hemp.
2️⃣ The difference between Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum and Isolat
To fully understand the value of Full Spectrum, it's helpful to compare the different forms of CBD oils:
Full Spectrum: contains all the cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, with a legal trace of THC.
Broad Spectrum: retains the diversity of cannabinoids and terpenes, but is totally THC-free.
CBD isolate: composed solely of pure CBD (> 99%), with no other active hemp molecules.
In short: Full Spectrum is the closest to the original plant, while theisolate offers a pure molecule, but without synergy with other compounds.
3️⃣ Why is Full Spectrum the preferred choice for some research projects?
Numerous scientific publications mention theentourage effect, a phenomenon whereby the synergy of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids may reinforce the overall action of the extract.
For example, the combination of CBD with small amounts of THC (within legal limits) is being studied for its potential complementarity.
Terpenes also play a key role in the overall harmony of the extract, providing nuances of psychic well-being and physical comfort.
This entourage effect is one of the major arguments in favor of Full Spectrum oilsoils, especially when it comes to helping people seeking additional support for disorders such asepilepsy.
CBD and epilepsy: what scientific research says
For several years now, cannabidiol (CBD) has been the subject of numerous studies, particularly in the field ofdrug-resistant epilepsy. The aim of this research is to better understand how this hemp-derived molecule can, in certain situations, support the comfort and quality of life of those affected.
⚠️ Important: scientific data should not be interpreted as proof of a cure. CBD is not a medicine (except in the very specific case of Epidiolex, which is a pharmaceutical speciality). CBD should always be used under medical supervision, as a complement to prescribed treatment.
1️⃣ The first encouraging clinical studies
Several clinical trials, notably in the United States and Europe, have studied the effect of purified cannabidiol on children and young adults suffering from severe forms of epilepsy (such as Dravet or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome ).
This research showed that CBD could help reduce seizure frequency in a proportion of patients, while displaying an overall acceptable tolerance profile.
These results led to the development ofEpidiolex, a purified cannabidiol-based drug approved by the FDA (USA) and theEMA (Europe) for very specific indications.
2️⃣ What about Full Spectrum oils?
Most studies focus on pure cannabidiol. However, more and more research teams are looking at Full Spectrum extracts, considering theentourage effect as a potential factor of efficacy.
Some publications suggest that combining CBD with other cannabinoids and terpenes could improve the body's overall response.
Nevertheless, data are still limited and exploratory: no official recommendation today favors Full Spectrum over isolated cannabidiol in the management of epilepsy.
In practice: for people who choose to use Full Spectrum CBD oil, it's essential to contact their doctor, to check for the absence ofdrug interactions and to ensure appropriate follow-up.
3️⃣ Essential precautions to remember
Always consult a neurologist before introducing CBD.
Never stop antiepileptic treatment without medical advice.
CBD can interact with certain medications (notably via liver enzymes).
Start with low doses and adjust gradually under medical supervision.
Choose a certified quality oil, with laboratory analysis.
The specific benefits of Full Spectrum for people with epilepsy (entourage effect, action on the endocannabinoid system, testimonials)?
Most research on cannabidiol focuses on the isolated molecule. However,Full Spectrum CBD oil is attracting attention because it offers a natural synergy of hemp compounds. This richness could offer interesting global support for certain epileptics, always in a complementary logic and under medical supervision.
1️⃣ The entourage effect and the natural balance of cannabinoids
The concept ofentourage effect is based on the idea that cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids act synergistically rather than in isolation.
For example, the presence of CBG, CBC or even a legal trace of THC could enhance some of CBD's effects.
Terpenes (such as myrcene, limonene or linalool) also play a role in modulating overall feelings.
This natural balance of the Full Spectrum is particularly interesting in a context where the nervous system is involved, as it allows a more complete approach than a CBD isolate.
2️⃣ Potential action on the endocannabinoid system
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a physiological network involved in the regulation of numerous functions: sleep, mood, pain, neuronal activity...
CBD acts indirectly on the receptors of this system, favoring a modulating rather than a direct effect.
In the case ofepilepsy, some studies suggest that this interaction may help stabilize brain electrical activity in certain patients.
Although research is still in progress, the Full Spectrum approach is in line with this logic: enhancing modulation via the combination of different cannabinoids and terpenes.
3️⃣ Testimonies and observations to complement the research
In addition to scientific publications, there are many patient testimonials in the literature and in patient associations.
Some report a reduction in the frequency or intensity of attacks when they combine their conventional treatment with CBD oil.
Others mention better sleep quality or reduced anxiety, both of which are important as they can indirectly influence epilepsy management.
⚠️ These returns should be treated with caution: they do not replace scientific data or medical advice. Nevertheless, they testify to thegrowing interest in CBD Full Spectrum as a complementary accompaniment.
How do you incorporate Full Spectrum CBD oil into your daily routine (dosage, precautions, choosing a quality product)?
The integration of Full Spectrum CBD oil in the context of epilepsy must be approached with caution and always as a complement to medical monitoring. The aim is not to replace a treatment, but to support general well-being using a natural, progressive approach.
1️⃣ Dosage: start low, adjust gradually
CBD does not act in the same way from one person to the next. Age, weight, metabolism and current treatments influence the body's response.
The golden rule is to start with a very low dose (e.g. 5 to 10 mg of CBD per day).
After that, you canadjust the dosage gradually, in stages, until you find the right dose for you, without exceeding the recommendations.
Some people prefer to divide the intake into 2 or 3 times a day, in order to maintain a steady concentration of CBD.
👉 Medical follow-up is essential, especially to avoid drug interactions.
2️⃣ Essential precautions: medical follow-up and possible interactions
Before any use of CBD in epilepsy, several points should be checked:
Mandatory medical opinion: only a neurologist or doctor can assess the suitability of CBD as a supplement.
Never change an anti-epileptic treatment without your doctor's consent.
Possible interactions: CBD can influence the metabolism of certain drugs by acting on liver enzymes (CYP450).
Monitoring effects: recording changes (frequency of seizures, sleep, anxiety) in a diary can help the doctor adjust the follow-up.
3️⃣ Choosing a quality oil (traceability, purity, certification)
Not all CBD oils are created equal. To guarantee safe accompaniment, it's essential to choose premium-quality products:
Independent laboratory analysis: to certify cannabinoid content and the absence of contaminants (heavy metals, pesticides, solvents).
Complete traceability: from the hemp used to the extraction method.
Gentle extraction method guaranteeing terpene purity and conservation.
Legal compliance: THC content less than 0.3%.
At Nobilis Product, each oil is the fruit of French know-how and benefits from transparent traceability, to give consumers peace of mind and confidence.
