What is CBD Oil?

CBD oil is a naturally occurring chemical found in the cannabis plant. It can be added to food as a non-intoxicating marijuana extract. CBD comes from an organic substance found in the secretions of the cannabis plant. It’s the second-most prevalent cannabinoid in marijuana behind THC, but it’s also the top non-psychoactive cannabinoid in help. 

While the THC found in the cannabis plant causes the feeling of “high” CBD oil does not. This has helped CBD gain popularity and legalization across the United States. 

How does CBD Oil Work?

The main function of CBD oil comes with its interaction with the endocannabinoid system of the body. This system is a grouping of millions of cannabinoid receptors found within the human body. The majority of the receptors are found within the central nervous system and the brain. 

Your body actually produces cannabinoids naturally, which are called endocannabinoids. Throughout nearly all the organs within the human body, cannabinoid receptors are found. 

Since the main function of the endocannabinoid system is to help with stress relief, immune response, neuroprotection and regulate the body’s state of balance, CBD helps the enzymes breaking down endocannabinoids, which leads to more naturally-produced cannabinoids in the body. With more cannabinoid production in the body, it’s possible to increase the impact on sleep, pain, mood, and appetite.
