What are Cannabinoids?

Did you know the cannabis plant has over 100 cannabinoids e.g. CBD, CBC, CBG, THC that are being scientifically investigated for their health benefits? Cannabinoids have powerful anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties that work naturally with the human body’s Endocannabinoid System to produce a wide variety of potential health benefits.

CBD: The Non-Psychoactive Cannabinoid

CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. While derived from the same plant as THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn’t produce a “high.”

CBD could support your immune system by helping you reduce general day-to-day stress – as stress can weaken the immune system. Encourage fast recovery from strenuous exercise or daily activity with CBD oil and support your immune system against the effects of physical strain.

CBD oil’s ability to support a good sleep cycle and natural anxiety can also help strengthen your immune system, by allowing your body to relax, find inner calm and catch those all-important hours in bed. It’s important to remember a healthy balanced lifestyle when it comes to immune health, ensuring we’re looking after our bodies.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) comprises three component parts: endocannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors, and enzymes. These work together to create homeostasis, or simply put, a state of balance within the body’s internal systems. The ECS interacts with numerous parts of the body, constantly making precise adjustments in order to maintain a consistent state of equilibrium.

Endocannabinoids bond with different cannabinoid receptors in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as in immune cells — the two primary receptors being CB1 and CB2. Then, special enzymes go to work, helping to break down any already-used or excess endocannabinoids, further assisting in maintaining homeostasis. Some of the key functions that the ECS helps to regulate include:

• Appetite
• Mood
• Stress
• Digestion / Gut health
• Memory
• Immune function
• Sleep patterns/sleep quality
• Temperature
• Pain sensation
• Inflammation
• Exercise-induced euphoria (pleasure/rewards)

Although research is still ongoing into CBD and immune health, we do know CBD’s natural anti-inflammatory properties could help support auto-immune diseases like arthritis, neurodegenerative diseases or inflammatory bowel disease.

CBD has immunosuppressive effects helping reduce immune responses by dampening them in the case of autoimmune conditions.
