Due to the nature of how our body endocannabinoid system works, consuming hemp and hemp-based products is an important part of maintaining balance and wellness.
We can think of the endocannabinoid system as being similar to how our bodies use hormones to balance and regulate all bodily processes. I have been studying up on this, from attendance at the IHS conference in NYC in February 2020 to reading books and viewing webinars for health care practitioners. This is a whole new field of intense research, and recent findings are showing that the endocannabinoid system in our bodies, crave cannabinoid substances, to modulate and balance all bodily systems and processes.
CBD oil is one of the best sources of cannabinoids, depending upon how it is processed/manufactured. Full-spectrum products contain the most cannabinoids. There are hundreds of health and healing benefits now being proven through research and trials. CBDs and THC are the two main categories of cannabinoids. THC has psychoactive properties, which can also exhibit healing benefits for emotional issues like anxiety, and soothe symptoms like nausea for clients undergoing chemotherapy. It is also the cannabinoid that produces the “high” and is found in higher concentrations in Marijuana plants, and much lower concentration in Hemp plants. Both Hemp and Marijuana are from the same species of plant.
CBDs have numerous beneficial effects in health and are found in larger concentrations in Hemp than in marijuana. Dispensaries that are selling medical marijuana are using products with regulated amounts of THC. The CBD oils and capsules that are for sale as “supplements”, and of the type I work with, have the regulated lower maximum content of less than .03% THC content. They are too low in THC to be psychoactive, but strong enough to feed into our bodily cannabinoid receptors which in turn improves numerous health conditions and provides multiple symptom relief.
Think of CBDs as newly discovered NUTRIENTS, needed by our bodies to function optimally.
I have suppliers set up for CBD Oils in caplets or liquid forms: Designs for Health and Endoca. These suppliers meet all the quality recommendations for full-spectrum CBD, clean, well researched, and Good Manufacturing Practices. I have been using them for a while —testing out their products and find it to be very efficacious for pain, arthritis-type inflammation, anxiety (especially with current COVID-19 conditions), and many other conditions.
