CBD
Over 6 million people in Ireland & the UK take CBD oil for its anti-inflammatory and balancing effects. The primary beneficial effects of CBD in the body is down to its interaction with the body’s Endocannabinoid System, ECS for short. The ECS supports important physical, mental and emotional functions such as: digestion, pain, memory, mood, sleep, metabolism, immunity and inflammatory responses. It is fundamental to human health by regulating other systems and maintaining homeostasis (‘balance’) in the brain and body. CBD stimulates the entire endocannabinoid system, harmonising and balancing its processes. CBD also helps control the amount of endocannabinoids floating around the body. Importantly it blocks the breakdown of ‘anandamide’ ensuring it can stay around longer to deliver homeostatic and mood benefits. The WHO has said it is safe to consume up to 70 mg of CBD per day.
