What is CBD Oil?

What is CBD oil? You probably have been hearing about CBD oil recently because it has so many amazing natural health benefits without any chemicals you find in traditional medicine.

It took me awhile to warm up to the idea of using CBD oil, because after all, it does come from the marijuana leaf. But it does NOT make you high! Most states in the U.S. have now made it legal since it does NOT contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that causes “high” or psychoactive effects and doesn’t affect your focus or ability to make decisions. The only thing it does it make me feel normal! It eases my anxiety and pain. I’ve used it in both edible form for my anxiety and a roll-on cream for muscle pain.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis (marijuana). CBD provides natural health benefits like a calming effect, reduction in stress and anxiety, chronic pain, and even seizures. Here is a beginner’s guide to what CBD is and how it can be used.

How is CBD Different from THC?

Many people have no idea that there is a difference between CBD and THC but there is, in fact, a very big difference.

CBD oil doesn’t affect your focus or ability to make decisions and it doesn’t make you high.

Tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC, is the psychoactive chemical found in marijuana. Researchers have long praised THC for its ability to help people to treat loss of appetite, nausea, and various types of pain. The use of THC has been considered controversial because THC delivers some effects that could be considered unwholesome by a few. While still under study, the medical community has made allowances for it to used as an alternative to other treatments in cancer and AIDS patients.

When people smoke or take THC in a concentrated form, many people have remarked that they generally experience feelings of relaxation, and that they are less prone to feeling various pains. The primary reason that it’s been allowed some use in medicine is because of its ability to help sick people regain their appetite. This has been especially effective for AIDS and cancer patients who have to deal with treatments that may halt their desire to eat entirely. THC is also effective in getting people who suffer from eating disorders to eat.

CBD is the non-psychoactive chemical found in marijuana. In recent years CBD has been used as an alternative treatment for anxiety, depression, and other disorders that can keep a person from being able to relax. It has even been used to treat animals for stress, and it can help fight gut infections. It can be cooked into food at low temperatures, or it can be taken in tinctures.

There aren’t a lot of effects from CBD besides its anti-inflammatory properties, and its ability to reduce that amount of anxiety that people and animals encounter, but more studies are needed to establish exactly how useful it can be in the future. Researchers have remarked that it’s probably best to avoid taking large amounts of CBD when you plan to work or have to operate machinery.
