CBD, its benefits and its use
Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is one of the best-known ingredients of hemp and cannabis.
It is also known as the feel-good molecule.
Like THC, another component of cannabis, Cbd has no intoxicating effect and is not addictive. Cbd is even said to have the potential to limit the psychotropic effects of THC.
Hemp and cannabis consist of cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids (in ascending order of importance).
At cbd we will be looking at the cannabinoids. They are the key to understanding the benefits of cannabidiol for our body, the others we will cover in another article.
The wide range of effects of Cbd on the human body comes from the endocannabinoid system.
Our body functions in the form of thousands of pieces of information sent to receptors by our brain and our microbiota.
These receptors form different pathways. One of them, the endocannabinoid system, is crucial for the balance of important functions: homeostasis.
It is the representation of our body-mind balance (or as we call it: Mind Body Wellness).
Hemp and cannabis contain phytocannabinoid systems that match those of our body. Cannabinoids such as CBD adapt to the receptors of our endocannabinoid system and thus enable it to function smoothly.
These compounds allow cannabidiol to have numerous benefits.
CBD has an effect on :
- anxiety by influencing the production of serotonin. It therefore acts on anxiety, parasitic thoughts, paranoia (due to fears or drug use) and depression.
- In the digestive area, it has an effect on digestive well-being and is useful for nausea, vomiting, nutrient absorption, transit and balance of the microbiota. Some studies also show that it is very effective in the treatment of eating disorders (FASD).
- Chronic pain and pathologies. Its anti-inflammatory and relaxing powers help the body to regenerate after physical activity, a party, sore muscles, back and lower back pain, abdominal pain (it is the main issue in the treatment of endometriosis).
- Sleep. Cbd helps with sleep, both to have a restful sleep and to avoid nighttime anxiety that leads to insomnia.
Numerous research results indicate that CBD inhibits the growth of cancer cells. It also has great potential in alleviating the symptoms of dystonia, epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders.
As the skin flora also consists of receptors similar to those inside our body. The benefits of cbd when applied to the skin are just as wide-ranging.
Eczema, dryness, psoriasis, redness, lack of moisture, etc. Cannabidiol restores the skin's balance by entering our pores through capillary action.
Cannabidiol is available in various forms and concentrations.
- As a sublingual oil, such as our CBD Sublingual Oil, and CBD Olive Oil are to be used directly in the mouth or in a drink, yogurt or dish.
We have driven research with synergies in aromatherapy. For example, our tincture (MCT base: coconut oil that does not freeze and is non-greasy) is enriched with clementine essential oil.
As we have already mentioned, the original plant consists of cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids. The latter are similar to essential oils. The combination of Cbd with aromatherapy and herbal medicine is therefore ideal.
- As a syrup and in combination with medicinal plants, they can support the effect of cbd. Starlit has an effect on nocturnal anxiety and insomnia.
- Cbd is smoked or vaporized by using Clear CBD Cartridge (a concentration of pure Cbd) or liquids for electronic cigarettes.
The Smooth & Mellow range is also enriched with organic terpenes that preserve the full flavor of the plant.
- Cbd can be taken in jam, chocolate or honey. This allows you to combine pleasure and well-being.
The use of honey and cbd also makes it possible to benefit from the advantages of honey, such as its antibacterial effect, which facilitates the absorption of cannabidiol by the body.
Cannabidiol is also beneficial for animals. In this context, the use of a neutral oil is most common, but the dosage should be adapted to the needs of our small pets.
Research into hemp, cannabis and their ingredients continues to progress.
The plant is rich and comprehensive in its entirety. All its compounds work synergistically with each other. In these difficult times, much research emphasizes the benefits of CBD for stress and anxiety caused by confinement.
