CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid which means that you won’t experience that ‘high’ you get when you smoke marijuana. Cannabinoids interact with our endocannabinoid system. It’s our endocannabinoid system which helps to maintain balance and harmony in our bodies. The cannabinoids bond with receptors in the endocannabinoid system. The receptors are like locks, with the cannabinoids like CBD binding to the receptors and unlocking them, creating them a chemical reaction.

With CBD’s incredible safety profile and its ability to interact with the human endocannabinoid system and multiple organ systems, CBD has been put into the spotlight with its potential uses and benefits. The scientific and medical communities are currently conducting trials and studies with CBD to find its potential uses and benefits for many conditions including epilepsy, convulsions, cancer, multiple sclerosis, spasms, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, nausea, and inflammation.

Preclinical trials and studies have shown extreme promise in:

• Neuroprotectant
• Anti-Inflammatory
• Antioxidant
• Anti-psychotic
• Antidepressant
• Anxiolytic
• Analgesic
• Anti-Tumoral Agent

As a chemical substance, CBD has strong antioxidant properties, and has been shown to inhibit the growth of a strain of staphylococcus resistant to antibiotics, MRSA bacterium, which causes multiple difficult-to-treat infections. Some people say they’ve experienced stress reduction, inflammation and pain reduction, while others say CBD promotes overall health and wellness.

What forms does cbd come in?

CBD Oils

The most potent type of CBD product is pure CBD oil. After being successfully extracted from the cannabis plant, the CBD oil is tested for quality and then packaged. No other additives go into the oil. This is an ideal method of intake when someone is looking for a higher concentration per serving.

CBD Capsuls

This is a great way to get CBD into a daily routine, with the CBD capsules being as easy to take as a multivitamin. With servings typically ranging at 25mg and up, this method is good for people wanting a moderately high concentration per serving.

CBD Tinctures / Liquids

CBD tinctures and liquids are made by diluting the pure CBD oil into a natural oil base or an alcohol. This is perfect for someone looking for a smaller serving of CBD that can be micro-dosed to fit your needs.

CBD Topicals

These salves and balms are not ingested but are rubbed directly onto the skin. These soothing CBD topicals are used to hit specific trouble areas of the skin, muscles, and joints. Topicals provide a very effective, almost instant level of relief and comfort.

CBD Edibles

This is another way someone can get their CBD. Manufactures have started to create hard candies, gummies, licorice, and other tasty treats infused with CBD. These CBD edibles typically come in different doses depending on the manufacturer.
