CBD is one of the most popular health and wellbeing supplements of recent times. You can buy CBD online or the high street all over Europe & UK.
CBD (cannabidiol) was discovered in the 1940's by Roger Adams, who was an American organic chemist. At that time, he derived this amazing cannabinoid from wild hemp.
Hemp has been used for centuries in many different ways, and it has become an important commodity in our world today. Some things that hemp is used for are :
-
biofuel
-
paper
-
material
-
soap
-
detergent
-
cosmetics
-
clothes
-
bioplastics
-
shoes
-
rope
..and other everyday items.
However, there are over 100 cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant, CBD is just one of them, albeit a very important one.
Although CBD was discovered many years ago, it didn't become known for it's beneficial health properties until a few years ago.
Much research and development has been carried out with CBD, and it continues today. It is a compound that is still surprising us with it's powerful healing properties.
CBD can be obtained in flower form and oil. There are also other products which contain CBD, such as personal care items, edibles, pre-rolls, vapes, cartridges, and others. The CBD market has grown rapidly, and considering it was virtually unheard of in recent years, it has now become a household name.
We can access CBD products on the high street these days, but also a popular is shopping the CBD online.
There are many reputable cultivators and suppliers both on the high street and online. However, there are also rules and regulations that must be followed to allow access to CBD products to be lawful.
CBD must contain <0.2% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), some countries do allow <0.3% THC, for it to be legal. THC is the psychoactive compound of the cannabis plant, and gives a mind-altering effect.
EU Regulations and Guidelines must be followed in the cultivation and supply of CBD. This ensures safety and legality. In addition to this, consistent periodic laboratory analysis at different stages in the cultivation process must be carried out. Documentation is needed at each analysis to show that the CBD being produced is below the THC limit.
There is much documentation on the amazing healing properties CBD is capable of. Health conditions such as arthritis, epilepsy, psoriasis, eczema, bipolar, cancer, heart disease, and many others, have been treated with CBD.
Anxiety is one of the health conditions CBD can help with. More than ever people are suffering with what can be a very debilitating condition. It can affect different age groups, it can be for short periods of time, or even a life-long condition. Different things can cause anxiety, such as life events, fears, phobias or even one-off experiences.
How we manage anxiety is different for everyone. Symptoms of anxiety can range from agitation, restlessness, mood swings, flashbacks, despair, hopelessness, and even feeling in danger. Also, varying degrees of anxiety can be experienced, and it is when it gets too much to bear, that help must be sought.
The usual route we take when we don't feel 100% physically or mentally is a visit to the doctor. Here, the condition we present to the physician will be assessed. Usual procedure is prescribed medication for a period of time. This choice can be effective, but sometimes longer periods of medication are needed.
Taking prescribed medicine for lengthy periods can become addictive, and sometimes the medication can lose it's effect as our body becomes used to it, sometimes rendering it useless.
There is so much choice available now when it comes to remedies for certain health conditions. The obvious medicinal route is available, but many people like to try alternative medicines.
For centuries there have been many potions and concoctions naturally derived, and they are used to address all kind of illnesses. CBD is a natural supplement, and it's availability has been like never before.
Anxiety can be treated with CBD through one of it's popular forms. CBD flower or CBD oil are both quite versatile. They can both be added into food or drink, or the flower can be smoked, (without harmful tobacco of course!), the oil can be taken orally.
CBD can be used by different age groups, it is safe and non-addictive. For instance, the oil can be administered underneath the tongue daily. It can bring relief for anxiety and bring relaxation, but without mind-altering effects.
Once you have taken a few drops of CBD, (this will depend on personal preference), it will work with the endocannabinoid system within our bodies that we all possess.
CB1 and CB2 receptors are situated in the brain and the immune system. CBD will cleverly make it's way to where it is needed and begin to work. Factors such as gender, weight, height, etc. will all determine the speed at which CBD will take effect.
CBD products are a great natural remedy for many health conditions or general wellbeing.
