Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, are natural compounds found in hemp and cannabis plants. They are one of many cannabinoids present in these plants. CBD is known for its potential therapeutic properties and is often used to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and support overall well-being. Unlike THC, another cannabinoid, CBD does not cause psychoactive effects, meaning it does not make you feel “high”.
CBD works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for regulating various physiological functions. When consumed, CBD binds to cannabinoid receptors in the ECS, helping to modulate pain perception, mood, and inflammation. This interaction may promote a sense of relaxation and balance, potentially providing therapeutic benefits for a wide range of conditions.
