The Body's Endocannibinoid System
CBD & HOW DOES IT WORKS  IN THE BODY? 

CBD is a compound found in cannabis and hemp plants.  Cannabinoids are the chemical compound within cannabis
 that relieve a variety of ailments.  Cannabinoids replicate endocannabinoids, compounds our bodies naturally produce
 to balance and control communication between cells.  

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the body is made up of three parts: cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and metabolic enzymes.
 It is a network of receptors that regulate the body’s rhythm such as sleep patterns, mood, pain sensation, memory, appetite and immune response.
There are two subtypes of Cannabinoid receptor’s in the ECS: CB1 and CB2:
 CB1 Receptors: Typically found in the brain and other parts of the body. They affect neurological functions, appetite, concentration, and more.
CB2 Receptors:  Found throughout the body and plays a huge part of the immune system and gastrointestinal system.  These receptors help regulate cardiovascular activity, pain sensation, memory, mood, and other immune responses.  
Hemp stimulates both receptors and causes a reaction without binding directly. Activation of the cannabinoid receptors is one of the major ways cannabis acts medicinally.  Hemp is non-psycho active. You won’t get a “high” from taking it.   

 CBD Studies have shown it may:   
▪ Relieve pain sensations and inflammation ▪ Reduce anxiety and depression ▪ Alleviate cancer related symptoms ▪ Reduce acne and skin irritations ▪ Provide benefits for neurological    disorders; epilepsy or MS. ▪ Improve sleep conditions ▪ Cultivate a healthy digestive system ▪ Benefit heart and hormone health ▪ Regulates homeostasis in the body ▪ Several other potential benefits are being    Studied
