Learn The Benefits of CBD

WHAT IS CBD?
CBD — short for cannabidiol — is a phytocannabinoid found in hemp. There are hundreds of phytocannabinoids in the hemp plant, but CBD is one of the most popular due to its abundance of wellness benefits. 

CBD is non-intoxicating. This means it won’t get you high and doesn’t have any of the side effects of psychoactive effects. This means no red eyes, impaired memory, grogginess, or negatively impacted cognitive abilities. 

Instead, CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in our body (CB1 and CB2 receptors). This interaction boosts our endocannabinoid system (ECS) in a way that creates advantageous benefits. The ECS is in charge of our body’s balance and wellbeing, known as homeostasis. The receptors are in all the major systems in the human body (digestive, immune, nervous, etc.), which may explain why CBD has an abundance of positive effects throughout the mind and body. 


TYPES OF CBD
When purchasing CBD products, you’ll notice three main types of CBD available: full spectrum, broad spectrum, and isolate. Here’s a bit about each one...

FULL SPECTRUM CBD

Full spectrum CBD contains all of the components of the hemp plant, including all of the other phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavanoids. They all synergize to make the effects of CBD stronger.

Full spectrum CBD is the most popular type of CBD because it creates an “entourage effect” that makes it even more potent. 

One of those phytocannabinoids is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is a psychoactive phytocannabinoid that creates a euphoric effect in large doses. But full spectrum CBD only contains 0.3% of THC or less, which isn’t enough to get you high. Instead, it’s just enough to make the CBD more impactful. 

BROAD SPECTRUM CBD

Similar to full spectrum CBD, broad spectrum CBD contains all of the elements of the phytocannabinoid plant. Well, all of them except THC. 

Broad spectrum CBD is a great choice for people looking for a positive experience without any THC at all. While 0.3% THC is not enough to get you intoxicated or high, some would still rather avoid it altogether.

CBD ISOLATE

CBD isolate doesn’t have any THC. In fact, it doesn’t have any other phytocannabinoids, terpenes, or flavonoids at all. CBD isolate, which is a type of CBD concentrate, is almost completely made up of pure CBD. This can make it a good choice for people who want to add pure CBD to food, drinks, or create their own CBD products!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CBD PRODUCTS?

 

CBD has many benefits that you’ll feel throughout your body and mind. That’s because of the unique way that CBD interacts with the receptors in your endocannabinoid system (ECS). 

The ECS is in charge of your body’s overall wellbeing and balance, known as homeostasis. It has receptors throughout all the major systems in your body, including the digestive, nervous, and immune systems. When CBD interacts with these receptors, it positively impacts various parts of your body and mind. 

RELIEVES PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT
CBD can relieve you of physical discomfort, including swelling, achiness, and joint stiffness. It will leave you feeling comforted and relaxed. 

 

REDUCES NEGATIVE FEELINGS 
Whether it’s nervousness, anger, or sadness, CBD helps keep you calm and mentally strong. CBD can inspire positivity, creativity, even motivation! Using CBD will provide a clear-headed feeling as negative emotions melt away. 

 

PROMOTES BETTER SLEEP
CBD is extremely effective in helping you relax. By bringing an internal balance, you’ll be able to keep a more consistent sleep schedule. You’ll wake up feeling rejuvenated each morning! 

 

REGULATES APPETITE AND DIGESTION 
CBD doesn’t give you munchies, but it can help you manage your appetite and digestion because it supports your ECS! Take CBD if you need a little boost to your daily diet or digestion.

 

BETTER, HEALTHIER SKIN
CBD topicals can help you relax and take care of your skin! The CBD penetrates deep into the muscle and skin tissues for the ultimate calming and soothing experience. The oils can also help boost skin health, keeping you moisturized.
