What Is CBD Exactly?
Updated: Jan 5, 2023
CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients of cannabis (marijuana). While CBD is an essential component of medical marijuana, it is derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the marijuana plant.
In my opinion it is the best thing since sliced bread. Its my medicine alternative, it is most definitely my everyday go to. I consider it a part of the hemp that ACTUALLY does something! CBD is not a drug or a psychosis, Its all used in the name of healing! Its the part that doesn't show up in drug tests. Its all Natural, The best house plant to have!
CBD though still apart of the cannabinoid family is nothing like THC, CBD comes in many forms as opposed to THC and 100% gives off a total different feeling. CBD is the healthy part, as it doesn't lead to midnight munchies, and definitely alleviates most aches and pains. Though CBD doesn't have a BD, DO, or MD its still my doctor 2.0, Used daily. CBD is a MEDICINE! The most important part of the cannabinoid family.
What're Some CBD Oil Side Effects?
Some of the CBD oil side effects can include drowsiness and fatigue while others leave you energetic and ready to goooo. Some CBD oils can interact negatively with other medication like thyroid medication or blood thinners, make sure to confirm with your doctor that CBD is the right thing for you.
Depending on the chosen CBD oil, (i.e. Isolates, Full Spectrum and Broad Spectrum CBD), plays a big part in the way CBD will effect you. When I use CBD oil or CBD honey sticks, I add it to my morning tea which gives me that burst of energy needed to start the day! Leaves me feeling energetic and awake. With not an ache or pain in sight. Its like a cloth of relaxation floats and lands on you, starting the day feeling refreshed and in tune!
Now after a long day of hard labor, rather it be a day of bending and lifting or a day of sitting at the office, it can definitely do some wear and tear to the lower back, feet, and hands. After getting home and washing the day away I like to end the night with some CBD infused lotion and apply it to all the effected areas, in a matter of minutes the pain is gone. It relives my pain before I'm even done applying it! Ready for a good night sleep.
CBD helps with many things and effects everyone different but the main thing it is used for is pain, insomnia, inflammatory, and anxiety. CBD is a gateway to peace, it will leave you feeling like you're floating on a cloud, it'll have you feeling 20 years younger, It can put you in a sleep compared to no other and best of all it relives the pains many of us deal with on a daily basis. I'm a big fan of CBD products for all aspects of my day and any activity I choose to partake in. No matter the time its non impairing, so you're always left in a great state of mind.
5 Benefits of CBD use?
1. One of the many benefits of CBD is it can relieve pain through its various interactions and Revision of the endocannabinoid, inflammatory, and pain sensing systems . People with joint pains ( i.e.; Hand, Feet, Back pain) Can benefit a ton from cream-based topical infused with CBD. One of the many things I use CBD Massage oils and lotions for is for my lower back and shoulder pains. Within literal minutes my joints feel like they've been sprayed with WD-40! Well lubricated joints!
2. CBD Can reduce anxiety and depression, by altering serotonin levels. A neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating emotions. if you're someone who struggles with social anxiety this would be something to look into or ask your doctor if its right for you.
3. CBD can also benefit heart health. CBD treatment has a protective role in reducing the effects of cardiac ischemia and reperfusion, maintaining cerebral blood flow and in reducing cardiac dysfunction associated with diabetes. As a personal advocate for CBD products I have referred many of my elder friends with diabetic issues some sugar free CBD gummies which also helps regulate their blood sugar! Many benefits of CBD but let me just tell you two more.

4. CBD is a great sleep aid and one of the many reasons I personally partake in its consumption. CBD is non-impairing and often known to be paired with melatonin. CBD is commonly used to improve sleep and as mentioned before decrease anxiety. Thus setting you up for a goodnight sleep! If you're in the insomniac crew such as myself, or have a terrible sleep pattern all together, this might be something to give a try, knock's me out before I can go for my third gummy!
5. Last but not least, It helps with improving focus and concentration as well. CBD is a great alternative to caffeine infused drinks or supplements, all those wonderful affects of caffeine without that terrible crash. As mentioned before I use CBD products on a daily basis since I've discovered my journey with CBD I can vouch for its aid in focusing, my mind doesn't feel like its going a mile a second in every direction Lol.
CBD definitely has a lot more benefits and ways to assist you in your daily life, before giving anything a try do your own personal research or ask your doctor what might be right for you. CBD has helped me and my family and even my animals in many ways, I'm sure it can help yours too!
