What is CBD?
Cannabidiol comes from the marijuana plant but is not psychotropic in nature. Hemp and marijuana are two versions of the same plant, Cannabis sativa, but are quite different. CBD comes primarily from the hemp form of the plant.
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive agent that gets you high from smoking or eating marijuana, is not present in any notable amount in hemp. The CBD obtained from hemp, however, does have healing properties.
How does CBD work?
Your body’s endocannabinoid system is a complex regulatory system involved in managing your health. CBD attaches to receptors in this system to help regulate memory, mood, sleep, and metabolic processes.
Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, CBD is natural and has no side effects. You won’t experience issues such as drowsiness, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, headaches, or agitation when you use CBD products.
What health issues does CBD address?
CBD is effective in reducing the symptoms of a number of health conditions. These include:
- ADD and ADHD
- Anxiety
- Headaches and migraines
- Chronic pain and inflammation
- Digestive issues and nausea
- Bipolar disorder
CBD products support healthy aging, too. The neuroprotectant properties in CBD can prevent the damage to nerves that causes Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, as well as strokes.
