The growing popularity of CBD and the use of CBD oil for health and wellness

The primary concern of most people has a healthy life without the worry of falling sick to either acute or chronic disease. The two factors that can determine a healthy life are consuming natural food sources and performing physical fitness. But, naturally, people fall ill to certain temporary and long term ailments but there are medicines and medical procedures that can provide proper relief. 

The common illnesses such as fever, cold, and cough can easily be cured by taking prescribed medicines, but chronic ailments last for longer duration and usually require a combination of medicines, surgical procedures, and therapy sessions. Some of the people are reluctant to take chemically produced medicines and going through long medical procedures as they have seen many other people not finding proper relief. The use of alternative medical solutions has always been in practice and fortunately, people have found relief particularly from pain and inflammation.

There is a certain buzz surrounding the medical use of Cannabis, which is largely considered a banned substance as it intoxicates a person. The Cannabis plant has over 100 different compounds which are classified into two groups Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is psychoactive and alters the state of mind and Cannabidiol (CBD) which is not psychoactive instead known as a remedy for most ailments.

The CBD element is extracted from the Cannabis plant, which is also known as a hemp plant. It is legal to farm hemp plants that contain less than 0.3% THC. The CBD oil is extracted and then diluted with a carrier oil such as coconut oil or hemp oil. The CBB oil is used in many products, and people with chronic pain use topical products to reduce pain, inflammation, discomfort due to chronic illness, reducing anxiety, and peaceful sleep. 

People may confuse the amber bottles containing CBD as that of essential oil and although the two share quite a few similarities overall, CBD has different properties as compared to essential oils. CBD products are an ideal alternative for people who have chronic pain and are not finding proper relief from common medications. The human body contains an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that manages several functions such as appetite, sleep, pain, and the response of the immune system. The human body produces endocannabinoids that are neurotransmitters that interact with the cannabinoid receptors. There are two receptors called CB1 and CB2, the CB1 receptor deals with emotions, pain, appetite, memory, and thinking while the CB2 receptor involves immune system response.
