To understand how CBD works, we need to understand how the Endocannabinoid system works. CBD is short for Cannabidiol, which is one of 113 naturally occurring compounds (cannabinoids) found in hemp, a strain of the cannabis plant. We all have an endocannabinoid system within us, which is a cell-signalling system that targets specific cannabinoids in our bodies. It contains cannabinoid receptors which help to balance the body’s essential functions, such as sleep, mood and appetite to support our wellbeing.

The endocannabinoid system helps regulate our:

Temperature
Immune Function
Digestion
As we all have different levels of cannabinoids in our system at different times, the cannabinoids found in CBD help us maintain that natural balance. The result? Helping you be the best you that you can be.
