Learn about CBD (cannabiniol) and how CBD benefits health and wellness. Cannabiniol (CBD) activates receptors in the human endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system helps the body maintain homeostasis, the balance of our physiological processes.
2. CBD is the acronym for
Cannabidiol which is
organic, safe, non-
intoxicating, and
naturally occurring
chemical compound
found in the flowers,
leaves and stems of the

CBD Oil.
3. CBD is a safe, non-addictive
substance, unique to cannabis,
that influences the CB1 and CB2
receptors of your body’s largest
neurotransmitter network, the
endocannabinoid system.
The endocannabinoid system is a
balancing system for your body
involved in physiological
processes that include appetite,
pain-sensation, mood and
memory.
4. Studies are showing that the body’s
endocannabinoid system also positively responds
to CBD by activating our body’s TRPV1 receptors.
These receptors work to control
important functions like pain perception,
body temperature and inflammation.
5. CBD can also increase
the
amount of anandamide
in the body.
Anandamide plays a
role
in the neural generation
of pleasure and
motivation.
