What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of over 400 currently reported compounds found in strains of cannabis plants, found to modulate and influence a variety of physiological systems influenced by the ECS (the bodies Endo-Cannabinoid System).

In simple terms CBD is a natural compound found in strains of cannabis plants including Cannabis Sativa L / Hemp – our bodies ECS respond to the exogenous cannabinoids.

Is CBD a new thing? No, cannabinoids have been tapped into for their properties for thousands of years, with the earliest reports from as early as 2600 BC.

Endo-Cannabinoid system (ECS)

Our ECS is comprised of CB1 and CB2 receptors located in the mammalian brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, including tissues associated with the immune system.

What this means is we were born with this system in place for a reason. It’s there to receive cannabinoids – so much so that our body produces cannabinoids naturally.  Therefore exogenous cannabinoids derived from plants can supplement those our bodies require for certain functions.
