So now that we know CBD stands for cannabidiol, we need to understand that each of us has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) within our body. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, along with several other systems inside the body allowing for a variety of potential benefits. CBD and other cannabinoids produced by the hemp plant, bind to cannabinoid receptors when they enter the body and cause a wide range of effects, depending on which receptors they activate. Studies suggest CBD has the potential to suppress chronic pain and inflammation, help treat depression and anxiety, as well as aid in muscle recovery, both falling asleep and staying asleep, and so much more! According to Bradley E. Alger, a leading scientist in the study of endocannabinoids with a PhD from Harvard in experimental psychology, “With complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and virtually all of the body’s organs, the endocannabinoids are literally a bridge between body and mind. By understanding this system, we begin to see a mechanism that could connect brain activity and states of physical health and disease.”
