What is CBD?

CBD or Cannabidiol is an exciting phytocannabinoid (one of over 100 derived from plants) discovered in agricultural hemp. CBD is a cannabinoid that communicates with our ECS system (Endocannabinoid System). This central regulatory system in our bodies provides balance to many major organs. When it’s out of wack, CBD can help bring our ECS system back to status quo.

We have receptors throughout our body all performing different tasks. Their goal is all the same, to restore the internal body systems to homeostasis despite what may be occurring in our external environment.

For approximately 12,000 years, Hemp has been cultivated by many civilizations. Agriculturally grown hemp originates from the Cannabis sativa L. plant. The appearance is similar to that of bamboo and grows up to 15 feet before being harvested.

There are no feelings of euphoria in CBD oil extracted from this agricultural hemp. However marijuana-derived CBD, which does contain a psychoactive chemical compound called THC does get you high.

CBD oil derived from hemp offers many health benefits. The internet is loaded with information on the various uses and benefits of CBD and we encourage you to “google”.
