One of the major cannabinoids that can be found most prevalent in hemp and medical cannabis is CBD (cannabidiol). The cannabis plant uses CBD and other cannabinoids to promote its own health. Cannabinoids have properties that protect the leaves and flowers from damage and prevent disease.
We as humans have found a direct root to the power that nature has used for millions of years. Introducing these cannabinoids into your body allows your Endocannabinoid System or (ECS) for short become activated. This system’s leading role in the body is to create balance and achieve homeostasis. Cannabinoids have been discovered in many different forms of nature. The one we tend to associate with the most is the cannabis plant.
You can also find similar compounds that interact with your Endocannabiniod System in things such as pepper, you know, the stuff we put on every square meal. Similar compounds are locked up in that wonderful thing we’ve all grown to love in some form or another, Chocolate. Hence why we get the feeling of euphoria or crave it in those stressful moments.
It's pretty amazing the power that plants can have on our bodies health & healing process. While plenty more research needs to be done on CBD, there seems to be positive results from people who use it & current studies.
