Cannabidiol, a substance found in medical cannabis, will one day be recognized as one of the world’s most valuable medicines. CBD produces many of the medical benefits of cannabis but suppresses – or balances – the psychoactive effects of THC. It is a powerful preventive, curative and holistic medicine for some of the most serious diseases plaguing humankind – diseases like cancer, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.
Cannabinoids
When cannabis is consumed, cannabinoids bind to receptor sites throughout our brain (receptors called CB-1) and body (CB-2). Different cannabinoids have different effects depending on which receptors they bind to.
For example, THC binds to receptors in the brain whereas CBN (cannabinol) has a strong affinity for CB-2 receptors located throughout the body. By aiming the right cannabinoid at the right receptors, different types of relief are achievable.
To simplify a complex system, they mediate communication between cells, and when there is a deficiency or problem with our endocannabinoid system, unpleasant symptoms and physical complications occur.
CBD
CBD is a naturally-occurring, non-toxic component of cannabis which has no psychoactive properties; whilst THC has some very real medical applications, CBD has been shown to be the more medically-focussed constituent contained within the plant:
- CBD can inhibit the growth of cancer cells
- It’s a fantastic antioxidant
- It can be used as a potent pain-killer
- It is an effective anti-inflammatory agent
- It has been shown to relieve anxiety
- It can work to reduce nausea
- It can work as an anti-spasmodic agent
