We all have what’s known as an endocannabinoid system in our bodies – with two receptors (CB1 and CB2). These receptors are the main source overseeing the regulation of our appetite, pain management and immune system functionality. This is where CBD oil goes to work.
Daily stressors, such as physical ailments, aches, diet or lifestyle choices weaken our immune and nervous systems. Our brains naturally begin a “search” for some missing link to target this weakness, in turn bringing our bodies back to homeostasis (basically, to find balance for our bodies to function at their optimal capacity). Think of the CBD as the aforementioned “missing link.”
So why do we hear about the many benefits of CBD oil? How does it correlate with PMS, migraines, anxiety & stress – even arthritis and ADHD – among many others? Very simply, CBD would act as that missing link to bring back that balance, that dynamic state of equilibrium, known as homeostasis. Just like with medication or food, the dosage depends upon the individual. Each body is so unique in size, balance, and chemical makeup that it follows the benefits of CBD will vary. Though there will be commonalities in product and dosing, each person’s “missing link” will be their very own.
