CBD
CBD, or cannabidiol for short, is found in the cannabis plant. It is not psychoactive like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), also found in the cannabis plant. CBD has been found to have quite a range of benefits to the human body. The biggest breakthrough for CBD was when it was shown to help those with epilepsy. In 2018, the US federal government FINALLY legalized hemp with a limit of THC up to 0.3% by dry weight. This has and will allow more research to be done with the potential benefits of the plant in general. We’d like to keep it simple with our explanation. Your body has something called an endocannabinoid system that is believed to regulate a variety of functions. Within this system, there are receptors called CB1 and CB2 receptors. CBD, and other cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant target these areas and are often found to bring relief throughout the body on a cellular level. What can you achieve by taking these non-psychoactive compounds? Homeostasis. This is when your body is in harmony on a cellular level.
