Beginners Guide to CBD Oil
Marijuana and CBD work by acting on the
body’s endocannabinoid system.
This system’s main job is to maintain homeostasis and help the body adapt to
outside stressors. There are two main types of cannabinoids—endo (produced
naturally within the body) and phyto (produced from a plant). CBD is one type
of phytocannabinoid. Phytocannabinoids mimic endocannabinoids, so they can act
like a supplement, giving you a boost beyond what your body can produce.
Receptors for cannabinoids are found in the digestive, reproductive, nervous,
and immune systems. Because cannabinoids interact with almost every system in our
bodies, they’re often touted as a cure-all. While they’re not truly able to
heal everything, they do regulate neurotransmitter function, inflammation,
mitochondrial function, and metabolism.
