What is CBD?

Cannabidiol or CBD is a phytocannabinoid found in agricultural hemp. It is recognized for its benefits on human and animal health and is capable of affecting nearly every biological process. CBD is non-psychotoxic, meaning it does not result in a feeling of euphoria. CBD has a remarkable safety profile.

In 1992 researchers discovered and continue to investigate the existence of a central regulatory system called the Endocannabinoid System (ESC). The ECS is made of cannabinoid receptors, self-made cannabis-like compounds and enzymes that create and deactivate them. The ECS is one of the most important physcologic systems involved in establishing and maintaining human health.

Endocannabindoids and their receptors are found all throughout the body! Cannabinoids perform different tasks for each tissue, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis. Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment for your body.

USING CBD TOPICALLY

Cannabinoids in hemp bind to a special set of receptors in the skin known as TRPV-1 receptors. This is where it helps regulate feelings of heat, itch, and pain. Topical application of Hemp extracts support healthy repair mechanisms of damaged skin.
