The W's of CBD

What is CBD aka Cannabidiol?

CBD is the 2nd most active ingredient of cannabis that feeds the endocannabinoid system. The active ingredients in cannabis are chemicals called cannabinoids. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which exhibits the “high feeling" people get when they use marijuana and Cannabidiol (CBD) which relaxes the body without the “high feeling”.

In the body there are CBD receptors throughout but the 2 main receptors within the endocannabinoid system are CB1 and CB2.

  • CB1 receptors target healthy brain function (mood, motor function and perception of pain)

  • CB1 could play roles in pregnancy, hormone production, cardiovascular health & digestion

  • CB2 are found mostly in cells in our immune system & bone that assist with inflammation

What is the Endocannabinoid system (ECS)?

To ensure optimal health of all systems in the body need to be balanced (homeostasis). The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is your body’s regulatory system. It helps maintain homeostasis between the central nervous system, the immune system, and many other systems that make up a person’s body. The human body produces endocannabinoids, and these interact with phytocannabinoids found in hemp CBD products to maintain balance.
