CBD

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of over 100 identified cannabinoids (a special class of chemical compounds) in the cannabis plant. CBD and THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, are the two primary compounds that have been investigated in medical research.

Of all of CBD’s possible applications, the one garnering the most attention is the dramatic effect it has on young patients suffering from severe forms of epilepsy.

Studies have shown CBD to have the following notable therapeutic benefits:
Anti-inflammation
Anti-pain
Anti-anxiety
Anti-psychosis
Anti-spasm

In addition, there is evidence that CBD may act as a neuroprotectant – that is, able to stem neurological damage following strokes and in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s – and may play a role in neurogenesis, the creation of new brain cells.
