CBD, its benefits and uses
Cannabidiol , also called CBD , is one of the best-known components of hemp and cannabis.
It is called the “ well-being molecule ”.
Like THC, another compound in cannabis, CBD does not have a high effect and does not cause addiction. It may even have the potential to limit the psychotropic effects of THC.
Hemp and Cannabis are made up of cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids (in ascending order of importance).
With CBD, we will focus on cannabinoids. They are the key to understanding the benefits of cannabidiol on our body, the others, we will tell you about them in another article.
The wide range of actions of CBD on the human body comes from the endocannabinoid system.
Our body functions in the form of thousands of pieces of information sent from our brain and our microbiota to receptors.
These receptors form different pathways. One of them, the endocannabinoid system, is essential in the balance of essential functions: homeostasis .
It would be the representation of our body-mind balance (or as we can find: Mind Body Wellness )
In hemp and cannabis, we can find phytocannabinoid systems that are in line with that of our body. Cannabinoids, such as CBD, adapt to the receptors of our endocannabinoid system, thus allowing it to function properly.
These connections allow cannabidiol to have many benefits .
CBD acts on:
- Anxiety , by acting on the production of serotonin. It therefore has an effect on anxieties, parasitic thoughts, paranoia (linked to anxieties or taking narcotics) and depression.
- The digestive sphere , by acting on digestive well-being, it is useful against nausea, vomiting, assimilation of nutrients, transit, balance of the microbiota. Some studies also demonstrate that it is very effective in the treatment of eating disorders (TCA).
- Chronic pain and pathologies . Its anti-inflammatory and relaxing powers help the body to regenerate after physical exercise, an evening, aches, back and lumbar pain, stomach aches (it is the main subject in the treatment of endometriosis)
- Sleep . CBD helps with sleep, both to have restful sleep and to avoid nighttime anxiety at the root of insomnia.
There is a lot of research that highlights CBD's ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It also has strong potential in the relief of symptoms of dystonia, epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders
The skin flora is also composed of receptors similar to those inside our body. The benefits of CBD are just as broad in cutaneous application.
Eczema, dryness, psoriasis, redness, lack of hydration, etc. Cannabidiol recreates the balance of the skin by passing through our pores by capillarity.
Cannabidiol is available in different forms and concentrations.
- In sublingual oil , like 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 pushed the research with synergies in aromatherapy. Thus our tincture (MCT base: non-congealing, non-greasy coconut oil) is enriched with clementine essential oil.
The original plant, as we told you above, is made up of cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids. The latter are similar to essential oils. This is why the combination of CBD with aromatherapy and herbal medicine is ideal.
- In syrup , combined with medicinal plants, they guide the field of action of the cbd. Starlit has an action on nighttime anxieties and insomnia.
- CBD is smoked, or vaporized with the use of Clear CBD Cartridge (a concentration of pure CBD) or with electronic cigarette liquids.
The Smooth & Mellow range is also enriched with organic terpenes, allowing all the flavors of the plant to be preserved.
- CBD is ingested in jam , chocolate ,honey . To combine pleasure and well-being.
The use of honey and CBD also allows you to benefit from the benefits of honey, such as its antibacterial action, thus facilitating the assimilation of cannabidiol by the body.
For a diversified use, cannabidiol is also beneficial on animals. In this context, the use of a neutral oil is the most common but the dosage will have to be adapted to our little companions.
Research into hemp, cannabis and their components is constantly advancing.
The plant is, in its entirety, rich and complete. All its compounds work in synergy with each other. In these difficult times, many studies highlight the benefits of CBD on stress, the anxiety-provoking aspect generated by confinement.
