Meet the Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids are active chemical compounds that come from the cannabis plant. These compounds play an important role within one of the body’s physiological systems called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Cannabinoids act on the receptors in the ECS, alter the release of neurotransmitters in the brain and provide the necessary “fuel” for the system to run. The endocannabinoid system creates internal balance in processes like sleep, mood regulation, infection, pain and immune function.
CBD: Prevention and Fighting Cancer
CBD, cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid that comes from the hemp plant. The hemp plant comes from the Cannabis Sativa family, but hemp does not contain the psychoactive properties associated with marijuana plants. CBD will not get the user “high” and boasts many health benefits. CBD is legal due to its trace amount of THC (0.3% or less) and is available to those seeking health remedies without the side effects of prescription medication.
