How To Incorporate CBD Into Your Daily Routine

There’s no question that the stigma around cannabis has been slowly dissipating over the last few years and CBD from hemp has been booming as a result.

Many people wonder how to incorporate CBD into their daily routine. With the popularity of CBD on the rise, it’s easier than ever to consume CBD in various formats from oils, to creams and gummies.

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol, most commonly known as CBD, is a compound found in hemp and cannabis plants that has wide range of health and wellness benefits. CBD is 100% non-intoxicating, unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for the euphoric "high" that cannabis is known for.

What is CBD Used For?

Some of the more common reasons why people use CBD:

• Stress

• Inflammation

• Joint Pain

• Sleep Issues

How Does CBD Work?

All mammals have an Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS consists of receptors, called CB1 & CB2 that react only to cannabinoids, such as CBD & THC. The ECS helps to regulate many bodily functions such as appetite, pain perception, body temperature, sleep patterns, hormones, mood and immune response. The main function of the ECS is to make sure other systems are functioning properly or at a state of balance, this is also known as "homeostasis". The ECS does this by producing chemical compounds called Endocannabinoids within your body, which act similar to neurotransmitters like serotonin or dopamine. CBD interacts with our ECS and other receptors found in the body (Serotonin, Vanilloid) to exert its calming and anti-inflammatory properties.
