WELLNESS--Lately, there is A LOT of talk about CBD oil. When discussing Cannabidiol (CBD), many people still have some misconceptions, and often, they confuse it with marijuana’s psychoactive chemical component known as Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
CBD oil, also known as a Cannabinoid, is one of approximately 60 compounds found in both the cannabis and hemp plants. The majority of CBD oils that are used for health reasons are derived from the hemp plant because it naturally has a very low level of THC. Therefore, it can be enjoyed without the psychoactive properties that make you “high.” More and more, studies are showing that small amounts of CBD oil daily can have numerous long-term health benefits.
While companies distributing these products must be careful not to make claims, plenty of information is available online and thousands and thousands of people have enjoyed improved health with regular use of CBD oil.
I decided to try it for myself since I’ve heard many people talk about having less pain and inflammation, better sleep, lowered levels of anxiety and depression, and improved cognitive function. There are also laboratory studies that show Cannabinoids may slow or inhibit the growth of cancer cells. With all of this, I wanted to give it a shot. So far I am enjoying it and seem to be experiencing deeper sleeps, less anxiety, and more mental focus and clarity.
With any supplements or herbs, it’s always best to look for an organic source that is free of GMO’s and chemical sprays. In fact, my favorite and most trusted source called CBD + has been created by Purium*, one of California’s local organic, raw, and non-GMO health companies.
We are being bombarded daily with the latest superfoods and cure-alls and so it can be downright confusing as to which ones to choose. But it seems that CBD oil is here to stay and I am quite confident that in the coming years, more and more people will be taking it for a variety of health-enhancing reasons. Maybe it’s time for you to jump on board too.
Always consult with your physician before starting any new supplement regimen.
