Discovered in 1940, cannabidiol (CBD) is now one of the most intensively researched and remarkable chemical compounds in the world. CBD is one of many chemical compounds known as “cannabinoids” found in the hemp plant, producing therapeutic benefits for the body and mind. It can be taken in a variety of ways, including ingestion, inhalation and dermal absorption.
CBD from hemp extract is able to interact with receptors in our bodies, producing an incredible array of benefits, including pain relief, reducing inflammation, calming anxiety and alleviating stress, eliminating insomnia and more. It’s gentle enough to be part of a daily health regimen, while strong enough to keep our bodies in balance.
CBD, like all cannabinoids, produce effects in the body as it attaches to certain receptors. Certain cannabinoids are produced by the human body on its own. The body also has two receptors for cannabinoids, which are referred to as the CB1 receptors and the CB2 receptors.
The CB1 receptors are located throughout the body, although most are located in the brain. These receptors in the brain deal with movement and coordination, as well as pain, emotions and mood, thinking, appetite and memories. THC attaches to these receptors.
The CBD2 receptors are more commonly found in the immune system and they affect inflammation and pain.
The CBD oil market is wildly diverse. Athletes use it to improve recovery from post-workout inflammation and enhance their focus. Arthritis sufferers use it to reduce inflammation and assist with their pain management. Folks suffering depression and sleep disorders also find CBD oil enormously valuable.
At On Duty, we are striving to introduce CBD to the millions of Americans who otherwise may not have had exposure to alternative remedies day to day.
