CBD or cannabidiol is a natural remedy used for many conditions.
Unlike THC, CBD is a non psychoactive chemical derived from the cannabis plant. This chemical found in the plant can take many forms but is most commonly used for things like pain management and treatment of anxiety. The oil is extracted from the plant and is paired with a carrier oil such as coconut oil. Here are seven reasons you should try CBD.
- Pain relief
Cannabis has been used as a medicine for thousands of years, only recently scientists have began studying its healing potential. Within these studies scientists have found CBD to have pain relieving effects.
Humans posses an endocannabinoid system which is directly related to things like sleep, immune function, appetite and pain. Scientists have found that CBD impacts the endocannabinoid system by alerting receptors in the brain to communicate with neurotransmitters.
2. Could reduce anxiety and depression
Anxiety and depression are two common mental illnesses found in society today, these illnesses can have a major impact on our mental wellbeing but also our physical state. Unlike prescribed medication which can have terrible side effects on the body, CBD can be used to react with receptors in the brain responsible for producing serotonin and dopamine. This can effect mood regulation therefore altering the users behavior in a positive way.
