What is Cannabidiol (CBD)?

CBD is one of the many cannabinoids (compounds) in the cannabis plant. Every day there is more and more research into the possible therapeutic uses of CBD.

Two of the most studied compounds in the cannabis plant are delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

Until recently, the most familiar compound was THC. The most active component that produces psychoactive effects. CBD is the opposite. It is not psychoactive, does not alter the state of mind and does not cause side effects. However, it has been proven that its use can bring many benefits and lead to significant changes in the body.

How does CBD work?

All cannabinoids produce effects in the body by interacting with CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are part of our endocannabinoid system (ECS).

CB1 receptors are present throughout the body, especially in the brain. These receptors are responsible for coordinating movement, pain, emotions, mood, thinking, appetite, memories, and other functions.

CB2 receptors are more common in the immune system. They are responsible for inflammation and pain. CBD, by interacting with the body's own endocannabinoid system, allows the stimulation of the same and the suppression of the activity of certain neurons, muscle fibers that create pathologies when they are hyperactive (inflammation, headaches, mental stress...). By working in this way, it allows the body's own systems to be used to treat problems such as stress, insomnia, muscle pain and more, in a completely natural way and using the most powerful tools at our disposal. Those of our own body.
