CBD is an abbreviation for cannabidiol, and it is a component of medical marijuana, obtained from the flower of an industrial hemp plant. It is one of a hundred compounds found in cannabis, or more popularly, marijuana, but by itself has no psychoactive effects.
Hemp, or industrial hemp, is a general term for a variety of Cannabis plants. This useful and adaptable plant can be converted into the fiber, oil, wax, resin, fabric, fuel, etc. When it comes to hemp, the first association is usually marijuana and all its side effects, however, we will deal with hemp here as a cure – since this herb has several amazing medical effects.

This compound has only come into focus for the last ten years. In the early 1990s, scientists identified the endocannabinoid receptor system – that is the signaling system in the human brain. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) exists and is active in the human body regardless of the possible use of cannabis. Although it is still being tested, it has been found to play an important role in many functions and processes in the body, such as inflammation, chronic pain, metabolism, cardiovascular function, liver function, sleep, stress, appetite, memory.
