Cannabidiol better known as CBD is a popular natural remedy used for many common ailments; acne, inflammation, chronic pain, depression, heart disease and anxiety to name a few. For those with cancer, it may even provide a natural alternative to pain and symptom relief. Cannabidiol is extracted from the flowers and buds of marijuana or hemp plants. It does not produce intoxication; marijuana's "high" is caused by the chemical tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis which causes the sensation of getting “high” often associated with marijuana. However, unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive. This quality makes CBD an appealing option for those who are looking for relief from pain and other symptoms without the mind-altering effects of marijuana or certain pharmaceutical drugs. The human body contains a specialized system called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is involved in regulating a variety of functions including sleep, memory, appetite, pain, immune system response, etc. The body produces endocannabinoids, which are neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system. Your cannabinoid receptors play an important role in our immune system, glucose metabolism, insulin resistance and blood formation. They are responsible for inflammation’s effect on your body, vomiting, nausea, hunger and appetite control. The ECS system gives the entire body the balance it needs to self-correct and heal. Our bodies are full of cannabinoid receptor sites. Beware not all CBD Oils are the same. Because of the recent popularity many products are not regulated and oftentimes illegal. I was impressed when I met the owner of Canna Bistro. Their CBD Oils are extracted in Colorado using a super critical CO2 process and then locally made in batches in Georgia, contain no pesticides, solvents, heavy metal, molds or bacteria. I was even more blown away because they conduct 3rd party testing with Steep Hill Labs to insure purity and potency. They’re product is Vegan. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnybC4zlnRv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h6hbioo6tdn4
