CBD IN GENERAL
What is CBD oil?
CBD stands for Cannabidiol and refers to the the major cannabinoid found in cannabis. It is an oil that is extracted from the flowers and leaves of the cannabis/hemp plant. CBD oil is naturally occurring in the plant and typically goes through a process of winterization and short path distillation until it is in its purest form for use as CBD oil.
Can you explain Cannabinoids, Endocannabinoids and Phytocannabinoids?
Most of the benefits associated with cannabis come from cannabinoids. They are the active compounds produced by all cannabis plants. Cannabinoids found in plants are referred to as Phytocannabinoids, while cannabinoids produced by the human body are called Endocannabinoids. Everyone has Endocannabinoids and an Endocannabinoid System (ECS) in their body regardless of whether they use cannabis or not. The ECS has been linked to balancing processes such as sleep, mood, appetite, stress, chronic pain, memory and fertility. Phytocannabinoids have the potential to interact with the body’s ECS to help achieve homeostasis (the body’s internal balance of processes).
How does CBD work in the body?
CBD’s effects are a result of its interaction with the Endocannabinoid System. CBD is thought to impact the ECS by binding to the endocannabinoid receptors.
