Cannabidiol, CBD
Cannabidiol, CBD, is a chemical compound found in Cannabis sativa L. (Cannabaceae).
Cannabis sativa is a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back 5,000 years.
Cannabidiol is one of more than 100 identified cannabinoids in cannabis plants, and accounts for up to 40% of the plant’s extract.
Cannabidiol, CBD, is interacting with your body’s endocannabinoid system.
The endocannabinoid system, or ECS, is a biological system which involves a combination of endocannabinoids, enzymes, and cannabinoid receptors.
The ECS is a complex cell-signaling system that plays a role in regulating a range of functions and processes, including sleep, mood, appetite, memory, immunesystem, and reproduction.
Simply, CBD activates parts of your body responsible for balancing itself.
