CBD, or cannabidiol, works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex biological system responsible for regulating various functions in the body, such as mood, sleep, appetite, and immune response. The ECS consists of receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids, which naturally occur in the body. CBD interacts mainly with two key receptors in this system: CB1 receptors, which are found primarily in the brain and central nervous system, and CB2 receptors, located mostly in the immune system and peripheral organs.
Unlike THC, CBD does not produce a psychoactive effect, and of course all of our products contain less than the legal limit of 0.3% THC. Instead, it influences the ECS by enhancing the activity of its receptors and promoting balance within the body. Regular use of CBD can help maintain homeostasis, which is the body’s state of equilibrium. This is why CBD is often used for a variety of conditions, including stress, inflammation, pain, and anxiety, without the intoxicating effects of cannabis.
