Let's start with a bit of theory. The abbreviation CBD refers to the so-called cannabidiol, which is the substance that is formed in hemp and Indian hemp. The power of CBD's therapeutic effects lies in its structure. Most drugs, when transferred in the human body, bind to so-called receptors, which are complex protein molecules located on the surface of cells. Receptors have a unique structure – let’s use the example of a lock and a key. Just like each lock can only be opened with a given key, certain drugs activate only specific receptors. Together, these receptors create what is probably the most important receptor system in our body – the endocannabinoid system.
Simply said, by using CBD a person intakes keys that fit into various cellular locks in the human body and thereby influences his/her endocannabinoid system. According to scientific findings, this can affect our mood, memory, motor functions, as well as our immune system, bone growth, perception of pain, taste of food or the quality of sleep.
The medicinal potential of cannabis has been known to mankind for thousands of years, although it has only been proven by professional scientific studies in recent decades. The key health problems that CBD can help with are, for example, anxiety, depression, acne, schizophrenia or insomnia, epilepsy, or acute and chronic pain. Cannabidiol can be used in various ways, which differ in the time of effect onset and its duration.
