CBD Oil
What is CBD Oil?
Derived from the stalk, leaf and seed of hemp plants, cannabidiol (CBD) hemp oil is a natural botanical concentrate that is high in the compound CBD.
Of the more than 85 cannabinoids so far identified in the cannabis plant, CBD is the second most common after tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychotropic and therefore doesn’t cause a euphoric high. A specialized extraction process is used to yield highly concentrated organic CBD oil that also contains other nutritious material such as omega-3 fatty acids, terpenes, vitamins, chlorophyll, amino acids, and other phytocannabinoids.
How is our CBD Oil processed?
The Australian supplier declares :
Our oil is extracted using a supercritical CO2 extraction process, which
produces a pure, clean and safe oil.
After this extraction we use an intense ultrasonic cavitation process to encapsulate the lipid moleules in sunflower lecithin.
The lecithin is an emulsifier which overcomes the immiscibility of cannabinoids in water- or to put it another way, this allows the cannabinoids to become soluble and be absorbed into our cells, upping the bioavalability of the oil. This is an important step as it increases the potency of our oil and enables it to work fully in our bodies.
Our oil is also high in CBG, which many believe is up to four times more
potent in its anti-inflammatory properties than CBD.
Why CBD Oil is so beneficial to our Wellness - Our Endocannabinoid System (ECS)
***The Endocannabinoid system is perhaps the most important system involved in establishing and maintaining human health ***
Every human possesses the advanced physiological system that is already making cannabinoid-like structures that foster cellular balance throughout nearly every biological system in the body. Research seems to indicate that the Endocannabinoid System may function more efficiently through the introduction of hemp-derived cannabinoids like CBD.
The Endocannabinoid System is involved in regulating a variety of physiological and cognitive processes including our natural healing ability, appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.
With its complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and all of the body's organs, the endocannabinoid system is literally a bridge between the body and mind.
By understanding this system, we begin to see a mechanism that explains how states of consciousness can promote health or disease.
Found on the surface of your cells, cannabinoid receptors are present throughout the body and "listen" to the environment around each cell. Information on current conditions is transmitted to the cells by cannabinoid receptors, and therefore they jump-start the proper cellular response if necessary.
Properly functioning receptors create homeostasis in the body's cells to keep you healthy and operating at your peak.
The ECS consists of CB1 & CB2 receptors.
The most-studied receptors are CB1, found mainly in the nervous system, and CB2, which occur in organs like the stomach, heart, and liver. Present in all humans, vertebrates, and many invertebrates
These receptors exist throughout the body in the brain, digestive system, lymphatic system, nervous system, etc.
Responsible for homeostasis; regulation of breath, inflammation, immune response, mood, pain, GI motility, neuroprotection, hormone balance, circadian rhythms, blood pressure, tumor surveillance, and reproduction.
Our CBD has a high value of CBG. CBG is known to be the 'Mother or Stem Cell" of CBD, also know to be the "Rolls Royce" of Cannabinoids.
CBG, in conjunction with CBD, works to fight inflammation, pain, nausea and works to slow the proliferation of cancer cells. Research has shown it also significantly reduces intraocular eye pressure caused by glaucoma. Strains high in CBG will be beneficial treating conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, and cancer.
What about the benefits? Like other cannabinoids, CBG causes a positive impact on our health. Among the potential benefits of cannabigerol are:
- antioxidant properties;
- work as a neuroprotectant;
- antibacterial and antifungal properties;
- appetite stimulation;
- treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders;
- inflammation reduction.
In addition to this, CBG shows promising results in fighting different types of cancer and lowering intraocular pressure, that in the future may significantly benefit patients with glaucoma diagnosis.
CBG interacts with both CB1 and CB2 receptors. Cannabigerol can also increase the level of anandamide — endocannabinoid boosting the level of dopamine.
Also, anandamide is responsible for regulating health functions such as sleep, mood, and appetite.
The absorption of the acidic CBG form — GABA in the brain may be obstructed by cannabigerol, thereby allowing it to reduce anxiety and to serve as a muscle relaxant. In addition to this, cannabigerol blocks serotonin receptors showing potential antidepressant effects.
CBG is a highly perspective cannabinoid and holds promise to become a key player among other cannabinoids if considering the medical benefits. With the continuously evolving research, CBG may turn into one of the most therapeutically beneficial cannabinoids offering a wide range of possible remedies for our health.
According to the World Health Organization, CBD can potentially treat a comparably extensive list of diseases and conditions. The one thing that CBD can treat and enough research has been held to prove it is Alzheimer’s disease.
Among thediseases and conditions that cannabidiol can potentially treat are:
- Parkinson’s disease;
- Huntington’s disease,
- Crohn’s disease;
- Multiple sclerosis;
- Anxiety;
- Psychosis;
- Pain;
- Depression;
- Cancer;
- Hypoxia-ischemia injury;
- Nausea;
- Inflammatory disease;
- IBD;
- Rheumatoid arthritis;
- Infection;
- Cardiovascular diseases;
- Diabetic complications.
It is quite an impressive list of various possibilities to use CBD products in medical purposes. Moreover, this list is still expanding with other conditions or diseases that can be treated or reduced by using cannabidiol.
