what is CBD?
It is a non-psychoactive compound derived from hemp, which naturally regulates certain functions of our body, such as anxiety, pain and sleep problems, without producing hallucinogenic effects or being addictive.
Hemp contains over 120 isolated Cannabinoids, but none is as amazing as CBD.
In the past years, hemp was turned upside down under the microscope.
And the findings on its secrets and benefits have now started to overcome the cultural and societal norms about hemp.
naturally.
What’s even more amazing is that our bodies have a series of neuron receptors called anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglyerol (2-AG) which interact with CBD and send signals to our cells to help regulate our movement, mood, homeostasis and immune system.
It’s like our bodies and CBD are made for one another.
That’s why CBD will give you a pleasant feeling, without the downsides of THC. One could say that CBD is only about the upsides of what hemp has to offer.
show that
CBD relieves conditions such as chronic pain and anxiety.
Both in health and wellness, CBD is gaining awareness, since more and more scientific studies are proving it eases chronic pain and anxiety.
LET’S SEE WHAT YOU CAN TURN UPS!DE DOWN
with just 4 to 6 drops of our CBD oil each day:
1
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are already scary as they are, benzodiazepines used to relieve them are even more scary.
CBD oil consumption is an option for those who want a more natural approach.
Studies* have shown that CBD usage reduces anxiety and depression.
This happens because CBD has the ability to act on the brains’ receptor for serotonin, which regulates our mood and social behaviour.
2
Pain
Remember those neuron receptors? They are part of the human body system called the endocannabinoid system. This system is the one responsible for regulating some functions in our body like sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response.
Studies have shown that CBD interacts with the receptors in this system, reducing inflammation and chronic pain.
3
Diabetes
For sure you are familiar with insulin, the protein that regulates our sugar levels, but have you ever heard of resistin? Resistin is a hormone that causes resistance to insulin.
CBD has been shown to decrease the levels of resistin in type 2 diabetes patients.
Other studies show that CBD may reduce the effects of high glucose levels, the main cause of diabetes.
So, by regulating insulin-related hormone levels, CBD could actually be a natural support for the treatment for diabetes.
4
Insomnia
Because of its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, CBD can help us regulate our sleep.
Also, because it lowers anxiety levels, it helps us sleep better.
But, before relying solely on CBD oil for turning insomnia upside down, make sure you take into consideration all possible causes of insomnia:
– are you drinking too much coffee?
– is your sleeping environment comfy and quiet enough?
– are you taking any medicine that can interfere with your sleep?
5
Neurological disorders
The same interaction with the endocannabinoid system may provide a series of benefits for those suffering from neurological disorders. Studies are new but results are very promising.
For those suffering from multiple sclerosis, CBD has been proven to reduce muscle spascity.
For people with severe epilepsy, it reduces seizures, as studies have shown.
CBD may also help prevent the neurodegeneration happening for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
It also improves sleep for people suffering from Parkinsons.
6
Heart health
Latest research* shows that CBD oil helps lower high blood pressure, which is responsible for heart attack, stroke and metabolic syndrome.
This is a positive effect of the CBD’s properties of stress and anxiety reducing properties.
Even if the news are positive, remember to consult your doctor for professional health advice.
