    Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound in the cannabis plant which has already made a name for itself, and its merits are extolled by more and more people around the world. Cannabidiol is also known as the compound which doesn’t have the psychoactive effects found in another compound, THC, and it has proven itself as a great supplement for people who suffer from various ailments and has been believed to help with pain and sleep. But if you are keen on finding out more about CBD oil and what it can actually do, it does pay to do research about the compound and its effects. So what do you need to know about the true benefits and advantages of taking CBD oil? Let’s find out.

    What it is – and how it is made

    While tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the compound in the marijuana plant which is associated with that ‘high’ or ‘stoned’  feeling, CBD doesn’t have quite the same effect. As mentioned, cannabidiol is not psychoactive, and this makes it the ideal solution or option for those who are not interested in getting that ‘high’ effect but who would like to find relief from pain or other ailments. CBD oil is produced with the extraction of the compound from the plant, and it is then diluted or mixed with an oil such as hemp seed or coconut oil in order to produce CBD oil.

    The potential benefits and advantages of CBD oil

    • Pain

    Did you know that the marijuana plant has been utilised for centuries for pain? In recent times, scientists have found that certain marijuana plant components, such as CBD, may be responsible for pain relief. This is because the body has an endocannabinoid system, or ECS, which is associated with the regulation of functions that include sleep, pain, immune system responses, and appetite. The human body can produce endocannabinoids, and these are neurotransmitters which bind to the cannabinoid receptors in a person’s nervous system. In certain studies, it was found that CBD oil may potentially reduce pain by having an impact on the activity of endocannabinoid receptors, which, in turn, may reduce inflammation and interact with the body’s neurotransmitters.

    CBD oil is now extensively used for the treatment of various conditions, and individuals believe that it is quite effective in the treatment of acne and other more serious conditions. Whilst they still need to do further studies on the real effects of CBD on peoples’ health and conditions, this natural supplement is definitely worth a try.

    What Exactly Is CBD Oil & How Can It Fight Anxiety?

    You’re seeing it in supplements, beauty products, and even chocolate bars, but what the heck is CBD oil, and could it help with anxiety, so what is all the fuss about? You know it has something to do with marijuana, so is the wellness world just a bunch of potheads? Well, not exactly.

    The basics of CBD oil: hemp vs. marijuana.

    CBD is short for cannabidiol, a cannabinoid compound that is found in hemp and marijuana. Both hemp and marijuana are part of the plant family known as Cannabis. The main difference between marijuana and hemp is the level of THC in each. THC, like CBD, is a cannabinoid compound. There are 60 different known cannabinoids, but THC is the most well-known—the Beyoncé of cannabinoids if you will. The reason THC is so famous is that it’s associated with the psychoactive high that people experience after smoking or ingesting weed.

    The definitions of hemp and marijuana can get pretty confusing, but for basic purposes, marijuana contains high levels of THC, and hemp contains low levels of THC. The ratios of CBD to THC in hemp oil can vary, depending on the product and the specific plant the oil was extracted from. CBD oil, a concentrated version of the cannabidiol compound, is typically derived from hemp but can be extracted from marijuana as well. CBD oil products on the market have varying levels of CBD and THC. Many have little to no THC, while some contain small amounts.

    The health benefits of CBD oil.

    OK, so CBD oil won’t get you high, turn you into a drug addict, or give you the munchies, so why is everyone talking about it? If THC is the Beyoncé of cannabinoids, then CBD is the Adele: Both you and your grandma will love it. CBD is just as talented as THC but safe for the whole family. CBD oil can provide amazing health benefits naturally, and there is a growing body of research to support it.

    While there are many different pathways driving the positive health benefits of CBD, the centre of its awesome abilities seems to be that CBD is a very effective natural anti-inflammatory. Chronic inflammation is really the commonality between most (and by most, I mean basically all) chronic health problems that we face today as a modern society. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, digestive issues, and hormonal problems are all inflammatory in nature. What the heck, right?

    Despite this, it’s important to know that inflammation is not inherently bad; in fact, it’s a brilliant aspect of our immune system. When balanced, inflammation heals wounds and fights off infections. The problem with inflammation arises when it increases and never calms down. Like a forest fire burning on in perpetuity, people get hurt. Same goes with the fiery squall of insidious, chronic inflammation. As a natural anti-inflammatory, CBD can help quell the flame and fight chronic inflammation.

    CBD oil, inflammation, and anxiety.

    Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern in the United States. An estimated 30 percent of adults in the United States (that’s 66 million people) and an estimated 25 percent of teenagers and preteens are affected by anxiety. As a functional medicine practitioner, I see many people who struggle with anxiety and panic attacks, and from these statistics, it should be no surprise. But just because something is common doesn’t make it normal. Fortunately, new insights into the cause of anxiety may help with the development of more effective treatment options.

    Most people do not associate cognitive health issues like anxiety, depression, brain fog, ADD, ADHD, and autism with inflammation, but it turns out that is exactly what the research is finding. There is actually a whole field of research known as the cytokine model of cognitive function studying how inflammation messes with our brains and may cause anxiety disorders. One finding is that elevated levels of NF kappa B (NFkB), an inflammatory bad guy, is associated with anxiety while people with lower levels of NFkB often have lower rates of anxiety.

    Enter CBD oil: an anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety compound. I have seen in my own life, and many of my patients’ lives, the positive impact CBD oil can have on anxiety. Studies have found that CBD oil is a natural anxiolytic (anxiety calmer) and is effective in treating social anxiety. CBD calms anxiety naturally without the potential side effects of pharmaceutical anti-anxiety medications.

    In addition to fighting inflammation in the body, CBD oil may reduce anxiety by directly affecting the brain. Studies have found that CBD actually lowers activity in the amygdala and increases prefrontal cortex activation, two parts of the brain involved in anxiety. There is also evidence that CBD is able to activate hippocampus neurogenesis, aka regenerate new neurons! This activates CB1 receptors, which has a positive balancing impact on GABA and glutamate levels, associated with reducing anxiety.

    CBD Oil: How much should you take?

    The studies done on CBD oil have a pretty wide dose range (anywhere from a few milligrams to hundreds of milligrams). I suggest starting at the lower end (around 10 milligrams) and slowly increasing over a few weeks or months to see what works for you. Some people also do well with splitting the dosage throughout the day instead of taking the dose all at once. As with everything, it is always a good idea to talk with your prescribing doctor if you are on any medications. CBD is generally very safe, but there are some pharmaceutical medications CBD oil could potentially interact with and increase or decrease the pharmaceutical drugs’ effectiveness.

    There are a growing number of quality CBD oils on the market. Just make sure the product you buy is getting third-party tested for quality and potency—and that the hemp was organically grown.
