CBD Oil for Health
People take or apply cannabidiol (CBD) to
treat a variety of symptoms, but there is some confusion about what it is and how
it affects the human body.
CBD is one of many compounds in the cannabis
plant, known as cannabinoids. Until recently, the best-known compound in
cannabis was delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC creates a mind-altering
“high” when a person smokes it or uses it in cooking. CBD is different. Unlike
THC, it is not psychoactive. This means that CBD does not change a person’s state
of mind when they use it. However, CBD does appear to produce significant
changes in the body. Researchers have been looking at the possible therapeutic
uses of CBD.
Hemp contains most of the CBD that people use
medicinally. Hemp and marijuana come from the same plant but the two are very
different. Over the years, marijuana farmers have selectively bred their plants
to contain high levels of THC. Hemp farmers, on the other hand, have rarely
modified the plant. These hemp plants are used to create CBD oil.
