What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from agricultural hemp that positively impacts nearly every organ system of the body. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a network of cell receptor proteins whose main tasks are maintaining homeostasis, stress recovery, neuroprotection, and overall immune health. When phytocannabinoids like CBD are introduced into the bloodstream, they interact with receptors in the ECS and boost its functions.
At the site of an injury, CBD has been known to decrease the release of activators and sensitizers, stabilize nerve cells to prevent excessive firing, and calm nearby immune cells to prevent localized inflammation. These three mechanisms occur in conjunction with each other to minimize the pain and damage caused by injury.
