CBD seems to be the hot new kid on the block, but it’s so much more than a buzzword. The non-psychoactive component of cannabis has been touted with a slew of impressive health benefits. 

Though it’s legal in all 50 states, there’s only one FDA-approved drug containing CBD so far. This drug his used for reducing the frequent and violent seizures associated with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. The release of this drug affirms the medicinal value of CBD.

This is a big step for CBD as a medicine. It’s the only official CBD-based-drug at the moment, but many people are already taking it upon themselves to experience CBD’s therapeutic properties. Continued research and evidence supporting CBD’s benefits on the human body shows promise and potential to push further.

The Endocannabinoid System

Research into cannabis has been ongoing for decades, and it’s now understood just how beneficial it could be for humans. Just like our bodies have a respiratory system and a digestive system, so do we have an endocannabinoid system. It’s the receptors along this system that play a role in sleep, pain, appetite, and mood.

The ECS works as the great bodily balance. When things are thrown out of whack, the receptors send signals throughout the body’s tissues to try to put things back in place. Your body produces endocannabinoids on its own, but problems arise when there's an imbalance. In those cases, supplementing with CBD may help.

CBD for Anxiety

Anxiety is a real struggle for many people. This natural response to stress may also be a sign that the endocannabinoid system needs some backup. CBD attaches to receptors of the endocannabinoid system, telling neurotransmitters to chill. If they stop releasing stress hormones, you get a little break from anxiety.

The endocannabinoid system is believed to inhibit the two main contributors to anxiety in the brain. Some pharmaceutical medicines block these receptors but weaken over time. Studies show that CBD may be able to consistently work to regulate these stress hormones without losing momentum in the long run.

CBD for Chronic Pain

Just like CBD can signal the brain to quiet down from anxious thoughts, it can also tell pain receptors to cool it a bit. Studies into CBD as an anti-inflammatory reveal a strong potential for its effect against chronic pain.

Some studies even suggest that CBD applied topically can drastically improve the discomfort of arthritis. It works similarly on the skin as it would if taken orally. The vast network of receptors picks them up and sends their signal where it needs to go - to your pain points.
