What is CBD?<\/strong><\/h1><\/div>

CBD is one of the many cannabinoids you can extract from a hemp or cannabis plant. The CBD that is used for CBD oil comes from industrial hemp and not from psychoactive cannabis strains; while the two plants are related, industrial hemp doesn't contain nearly as much THC (another cannabinoid).<\/p>\n

To extract the CBD oil from the cannabis plant, producers isolate the CBD from the bulk of the THC to ensure that the oil does not have any psychoactive effects.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How does CBD work?<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>

Chances are you've heard of the health benefits of CBD or cannabis in general in the media several times. The supposed medicinal purposes are incredibly diverse. From autoimmune and neurological diseases like Alzheimer's to cancer. According to the media, CBD and cannabis are veritable panaceas. If all of these claims are correct, then how does CBD do it? The answer to this question is a huge and complex system, some of which has not yet been researched:<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>ECS (Endocannabinoid System)<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

This system in our body was not discovered by researchers until the 1990s. Today we know that this system regulates many of our physical functions, such as: appetite, sleep, mood and memory.<\/p>\n

At that time, the scientists isolated phytochemicals from cannabis plants - so-called phytocannabinoids (\u201cphyto\u201d stands for \u201cplant\u201d). They wanted to study the effects of these chemicals and came across a network of enzymes and receptors that enable the body's own cannabinoids to be produced and used. These cannabinoids originate from the own body (endo) and are called endocannabinoids.<\/p>\n

It was also found that these neurochemicals exist not only in humans and mammals, but in almost all animals, such as birds, fish, amphibians and marine animals. Scientists suggest that the endocannabinoid system is 600 million years old.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
