Description
Before understanding the product, it's essential to understand its core ingredient. CBD is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, a variety of Cannabis sativa. Unlike its more famous cousin, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is entirely non-psychoactive. This means it does not produce the "high" associated with cannabis. Instead, its benefits are rooted in its interaction with the body's Endocannabinoid System (ECS).
The ECS is a complex cell-signaling network that acts as the body's master regulator. It plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis—the stable internal environment necessary for optimal health. The ECS helps modulate functions like sleep, mood, appetite, immune response, and pain perception. When the ECS is out of balance, these functions can be disrupted. CBD is believed to support the ECS by interacting with its receptors, encouraging the body to produce more of its own endocannabinoids and promoting a state of equilibrium.
