What is CBD and can it help me?

5/28/2018

Comments

 
CBD stands for cannabidiol, one of many compounds found in cannabis. Hemp is a form of cannabis and does not mean marijuana. CBD has many therapeutic properties and is the top non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in hemp. Unlike other cannabinoids, CBD does not produce a high of any kind, because it simply does not affect those receptors. 

How does CBD work?
The Endogenous Cannabinoid System (ECS) is one of the most important body systems involved in establishing and maintaining human health. It's receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. Almost every organ of your body, including your skin and digestive tract, contain ECS receptors. The ECS main functions are:
  • Stress relief
  • Regulating appetite, sleep, mood, and pain
  • Immune response
  • Neuro-protection (nerves)

CBD oil helps to increase your body’s ECS.  

Clinical studies suggest that CBD could be used to treat the following:
  • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • Depression and mood 
  • PTSD
  • Stress
  • Insomnia
  • Tremors
  • Headaches / migraines
  • Chronic pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Arthritis
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Seizures and epilepsy
  • Addiction (Use CBD to taper off opioids)
  • and more...

We have a growing inventory of CBD products for internal as well as topical use. 
A general guideline for taking CBD oil internally:
Start with 15mg, 2 times a day (you can get the sample pack of 10 to try it out for 5 days).

Gradually increase until you reach the best results and stick with that dose. 

Some people take 300-500mg daily when dealing with severe health challenges like MS or tremors or cancer. CBD oil is currently expensive, so if you're interested in taking higher amounts please inquire about special order discounts. 

If you want help deciding what type of CBD would be best for you, please email Ronit.
