Understanding CBD
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the two dominant cannabinoids found in the cannabis sativa plant. However, unlike the other dominant cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD has no psychoactive properties and won’t result in you experiencing that ‘euphoric’ high. Inside all of us, regardless of whether or not we have ever tried a cannabis product, is something known as the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). Research suggests that the ECS is responsible for maintaining homeostasis within our internal systems. The ECS does this by regulating different bodily functions such as appetite, sleep, mood, reproduction, fertility, and mood.​
​
CBD doesn’t bind with the two main receptors (CB1 and CB2) as THC does. Researchers believe instead that CBD prevents endocannabinoids from being broken down by the body.

-

How does CBD work?Our bodies contain two different cannabinoid receptors that help your internal system function smoothly. They help our body manage the processes that govern pain, emotions, appetite, focus, memory, the immune system and other functions. CBD works with these receptors to help the body help itself to produce a variety of potentially positive benefits.
