What Is CBD?
Cannabidiol, which is also known as CBD, is a natural chemical compound, part of a group called cannabidiol. It is obtained from hemp which belongs to the family Cannabis Sativa.
What Are The Uses Of CBD?
Our body contains endocannabinoid receptors which are said to help homeostasis. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that interact with endocannabinoid receptors and induce different effects in the body. The endocannabinoid system is known to help maintain a state of balance or homeostasis, as some call it, in all the body systems including circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems.
CBD is used to treat symptoms of diseases like-
- Anxiety
- Pain
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Seizures
- Epilepsy
Even though it has not been tested and studied clearly, those who have used it before have testified to its benefits. A CBD medicine named Epidiolex is the only approved CBD medicine in the market now and it is used to treat epilepsy.
