CBD is one of the many exogenous cannabinoids synthesized from Cannabis and Hemp plants. It’s popularity and usage has been exploding in the mainstream and more uses of CBD are being discovered every day. CBD works by activating an endogenous system in our bodies known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system is comprised mostly of CB1 and CB2 receptor sites. CBD works by activating or inactivating these receptor sites.

The ECS is like any other system in our body i.e. lymphatic, endocrine etc. It regulates our mood, sensation of pain, and inflammation as well as immune function. Consuming CBD is thought to have a regulatory balancing effect on our ECS and therefore can promote recovery and a general sense of well-being and harmony.
