CBD Oil Benefits

For several common illnesses, cannabidiol is a common natural medicine used.

Better known as CBD, it is one of over 100 chemical compounds known as cannabinoids found in the cannabis or marijuana plant, Cannabis sativa.

The key psychoactive cannabinoid present in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which triggers the feeling of "high" that is often correlated with marijuana. However, CBD is not psychoactive, unlike THC.

For those looking for relief from pain and other ailments without the mind-altering effects of marijuana or similar prescription medications, this quality makes CBD an enticing choice.

CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil.

It’s gaining momentum in the health and wellness world, with some scientific studies confirming it may ease symptoms of ailments like chronic pain and anxiety.

The human body contains a specialized system called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is involved in regulating a variety of functions including sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response.
