What is cannabidiol oil?

 

Cannabidiol Oil or CBD oil is a subclass of phytocannabinoids that is extracted from an industrial hemp plant, Cannabis Sativa. To be more specific CBD oil comes from the seeds of the hemp plant, therefore CBD oil is far less psychoactive. Cannabidiol oil does not come from Cannabis Indica, which is the counterpart to Cannabis Sativa that gives you a ‘high’. The seeds are put through a process in which they are pressed until the oil is released. The CBD oil is then put through another process called ‘Winterization’ that removes fats and alcohols from it, after the CBD oil is run through these processes it is ready for use. 

How it affects your body

 

The human body has specific locations that are made for cannabinoids, these are known as cannabinoid receptor sites. Receptors are mechanisms in the human body to which the cannabinoids attach themselves. There are two kinds of receptors for cannabinoids, CB1, and CB2. CB1 receptors are present in the brain, and CB2 receptors are in the immune system

Cannabidiol is special because it does not work with the CB1 or CB2 receptors. It passively influences the Endocannabinoid system, regulating the reception of pain, immune system functions and the process of falling and staying asleep.  CBD also amplifies the effect of all cannabinoids that attach to the CB1 receptors.

CBD oil protects the body against its own euphoric stimulant. A cannabinoid, Anandamide, is produced on demand by the human body. ‘Ananda’, in Sanskrit, means ‘bliss’. Anandamide creates a “runner’s high” , and this is regulated by Cannabidiol. Therefore, we feel this false high on the use of cannabidiol or CBD oil.

Medicinal Uses
