CBD Basics
What is CBD?
CBD, also known as Cannabidiol, is a naturally-occurring compound found in the hemp plant.
Research over the last 50 years tells us that CBD and other Phytocannabinoids (there are over 113) are also produced within the body. These internal Cannabinoids are called, Endocannabinoids. The prefix “Endo” meaning from “within”.
What Does CBD Do?
What’s amazing about CBD is that it helps the body maintain a balance and overall well-being. This is also called, homeostasis.
CBD is not psychoactive. In other words, it does not produce a high. So, there’s no need to worry about mind-altering effects. CBD actually supports a sense of calm throughout the body.
How Does CBD Work in the Body?
Endocannabinoids, including CBD, work by communicating through a series of cannabinoid receptors in the body known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
The endocannabinoid system is involved in many physiological processes including the immune system, anti-inflammatory response, pain-sensation, mood, sleep, appetite, memory and more.
Endocannabinoids, CBD in particular, fine-tune and enhance the communication between the neurons in this network. This interaction is how the body maintains a cellular balance or equilibrium and adjusts to create homeostasis.
You could say that CBD is the body’s natural little helper.
Why Do People Use CBD?
People use CBD for many reasons. Some take CBD to support specific issues they may have, while others simply want to enhance their overall health and wellness — integrating CBD into their daily exercise and wellness routine.
Because of CBD’s helper effect in the endocannabinoid system, CBD has the potential to influence both physical health and emotional well-being. Promoting balance and a sense of calm for many people in an increasingly busy and ever stressful world.
