What is CBD?

 

CBD (or cannabidiol) is one of dozens of compounds found in the hemp plant. Cannabinoids—and other beneficial terpenes that interact with our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS)—can be found in many plants we’re already familiar with, including echinacea, liverwort, and cacao.

​

CBD is naturally found in its highest concentrations in hemp plants. While it’s often associated with its psychoactive counterpart, THC, CBD can be separated from THC and is completely non-psychoactive. That means that people who use CBD for various ailments can safely do so without incurring the “high” correlated with marijuana.

CBD is a cannabinoid with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties similar to THC, but it differs in a very important way: It does not induce any psychoactive effects. This means that while there is significant overlap between the consumer bases for the two types of products, THC is limited to people who are open to feeling “stoned” to some extent. CBD-ONLY Products (which is what we specialize in), on the other hand, appeal to all adults who lead a health-oriented lifestyle and want a natural way to relieve physical and mental stress. This could be the product line that exposes marijuana to an entirely new market segment made up of those who never considered the plant before, strictly because they were turned off by THC’s psychoactive effects.

 

CBD activates your body's own healing system to boost immune function, reduce inflammation, improve quality of sleep, and optimize brain health. CBD triggers mind relaxing receptors and relieves anxiety. It is also considered as a natural anti-depressant and also used to treat sleeping disorders associated with chronic depression. Having high blood sugar can cause diabetes and high blood pressure. Regular use of CBD oil can effectively control sugar levels in the blood. An imbalance of bad bacteria in the body can cause health problems such as gum disease, heart disease, and intestinal issues. CBD oil is used for treating bacterial imbalances in the human body and strengthening the immune system.

The fact that CBD is non-psychoactive makes it an appealing option for patients looking for relief from inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, spasms, and other conditions without disconcerting feelings of lethargy or dysphoria.

 

Scientific and clinical research underscores CBD’s potential as a treatment for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, MS, chronic pain, schizophrenia, PTSD, depression, antibiotic-resistant infections, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders. CBD has demonstrable neuroprotective and neurogenic effects, as well as anti-cancer properties. Further evidence suggests that CBD is safe even at high doses.
