CBD has also been proven to tackle side effects of anxiety by reducing the heart rate and improving the quality of sleep which will help you to relax. CBD is thought to interact with CB1 and CB2 receptors in the central nervous system. The interaction with receptor CB1 causes a change in serotonin signals. Serotonin is a key hormone that controls our mood, happiness, and anxiety, influencing our sleep and bowel movements. Low levels of serotonin are linked with anxiety and depression. CBD can activate receptor CB1 so that serotonin can circulate the body which can help the body feel more at ease and less stressed out.

CBD oil is produced in the Cannabis plant, known as marijuana and hemp plant, depending on how much THC they produce. CBD is found in the resinous flower of the cannabis plant and can be extracted and mixed with fatty carrier bases such as hemp oil (produced from hemp seeds) so it can be ingested.

CBD oil also could reduce the risk of heart disease and improve heart health by relieving high blood pressure in some people. A study was done where some people were given 600mg of CBD and others had a placebo and it found that those who had ingested the CBD obtained a lower blood pressure before and after stressful situations such as exercise or extreme temperatures. However, there is no evidence to suggest that CBD can lower blood pressure alone but it does lower stress levels which will help to reduce blood pressure.

CBD more formally known as Cannabidiol is one of many oils produced by the cannabis plant. The more commonly known oil that cannabis plants produce is THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) which is illegal in the UK because of its mind-altering “high”. However, CBD is not psychoactive and does not change a person’s state of mind when using it and create a “high”, so it is completely safe to use. In fact, CBD has many positive attributes when ingested or applied to the body.

Experts believe CBD attaches itself indirectly to the cannabinoid receptors in our bodies which are known for regulating a wide spread of behaviours including appetite, pain and mood. The human body has its own endocannabinoid system, which regulates our body’s behaviours, producing its own endocannabinoids, which are neurotransmitters and can bind to cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system. It is shown that CBD may reduce pain by affecting endocannabinoid receptor activity and interacting with neurotransmitters, especially nerve and back pain.
