First, a quick introduction: CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is one of more than 100 cannabinoids naturally found in Hemp. It is not psychotropic (it won't get you high) and is considered very safe. In fact, the World Health Organisation has stated that there are no public health risks or abuse potential for CBD. It's completely legal in the UK. CBD activates the cannabinoid receptors throughout your body - what's known as the endocannabinoid system. This tells your body to feel a certain way and do certain things, as well as affecting and regulating other important functions like your immune, nervous, and gastrointestinal systems. Deficiencies in the endocannabinoid system are known to play a role in many conditions, including anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, acne, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Neuropathy and MS. Check out our CBD Mythbusting guide for a full introduction. Supplementing with CBD oil may help address the cannabinoid deficiency and many users report significant beneficial impact from regular CBD use. |
