What is CBD?
CBD, short for Cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant, which includes both marijuana and hemp varieties. It is one of over a hundred cannabinoids identified in cannabis, but it is particularly noted for its potential therapeutic benefits without producing the psychoactive effects typically associated with THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), another well-known cannabinoid.
CBD has gained a lot of attention in the wellness community for its potential to help with a variety of conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, epilepsy, insomnia, and inflammation, among others.

Safe and Effective
CBD is generally considered to be safe and effective in the relief of many ailments. Research suggests CBD may be an effective tool for relieving conditions including: epilepsy, pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune disease, and cancer.
The effectiveness of CBD can vary based on how it is used.
-
Epilepsy: CBD can block signals carried by a molecule called lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI). LPI is found in brain cells and is thought to amplify nerve signals. These signals can be interrupted by disease and cause the onset of seizures. If the signal is blocked or decreased, the seizures are potentially decreased.
-
Pain and Inflammation: Some studies suggest CBD may help with chronic pain and inflammatory conditions. Research indicates that CBD may reduce the levels of inflammatory cytokines. Cytokines are responsible for signaling the proteins responsible for the inflammatory response.
-
Anxiety and Depression: CBD can offer the calming effect found in THC without the psychoactive properties and may balance the dysfunction in the endocannabinoid system.
