However, CBD reduces inflammation, because it helps suppress and regulate our immune response. It does this by latching onto receptors all over our body that are part of our Endocannabinoid System (ECS). These receptors regulate our mood, pain and overall wellness. CBD also helps eliminate free radicals from the body through its antioxidant capabilities.

It can be consumed in food and drinks, but is most concentrated as an oil.

Taking a dropper of CBD oil under the tongue results in the following benefits:

• Imparts a feeling of relaxation and calm

• Soothes Aches & Pain Management ( injuries, headaches, arthritis)

• Relieves Anxiety, improves Mood and helps manage symptoms of Depression

• Anti-Inflammatory (assists in healthy immune function, decreases inflammation, improves skin issues)

• Eases the effects of insomnia

Cbd is most effective if it’s working with its other properties, so you want to look for “full/broad spectrum”. Be sure that the company you are purchasing from uses organically sources ingredients and has a Certificate of Analysis, proving its been tested by a 3rd party.
