CBD. What’s the deal?

CBD. What’s the deal? Does it work? And what ailments does it work for?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike it’s big brother, THC (another of the 180 cannabinoids found in cannabis) it is non-intoxicating and has been shown to have major therapeutic benefits.

CBD is having a huge moment due to the feedback from consumers about the myriad of issues it’s helping heal and manage, and the fact that it’s been legalized in countries all around the world, from Japan to New Zealand to France and beyond.

Research has shown that it may help with:
•Pain relief
•Anxiety
•Nausea
•Diabetes
•Cancer
•Seizures and neurological disorders
•Schizophrenia and other psychosis

CBD may have anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antipsychotic, antioxidant, neuroprotective and immunomodulatory effects.
