HOW CAN CBD OIL HELP YOU?
Every single day, we talk with people like you, who have just heard about cannabidiol (often called CBD), from a close friend, or a recent news report.
Our mission here is to not only provide you the highest quality CBD oil products on the market, but give you the support and education you need to feel secure and confident in any purchase you make.
In the past few years since CBD became available in 2012, stories of the remarkable results that families have gotten have been published by almost every major television network, news website, and print publication, including National Geographic, TIME Magazine, and CNN’s Weed documentary series.
However, CBD is much more than just a viral media sensation. It changes lives — that’s why we’ve had over 100,000 customers here at HempMeds®, most of whom have CBD every single day. In such a new market that’s only a few years old, finding the right CBD product, with the quality you need, from a company you can trust, can be difficult. As the first mainstream distributor of CBD hemp oil products we’ve seen it all, so we’re happy to share everything that we’ve learned about hemp, CBD, and health, with you.
What is CBD Oil?
CBD is short for cannabidiol, one of over 85 unique compounds found in the hemp plant, known as cannabinoids.
CBD is just starting to make a name for itself. It’s been the subject of thousands of clinical studies, and is even patented by the United States’ National Institutes of Health for its health properties, but has only recently become widely available.
Our researchers discovered that it is possible to create a high concentration of CBD in unique cultivars of hemp, and extract the oil to be sold. In addition to CBD, this oil contains many other healthy cannabinoids, terpenes, and nutritious omega fatty acids and vitamins.
Hemp is part of the cannabis sativa L. species, but hemp, and the CBD oil from it, has no psychoactive properties of other cannabis species — meaning you get all the health benefits with no high or side effects.
How does CBD oil work?
Cannabinoids, including CBD, interact with your body’s endocannabinoid system, or ECS. The ECS is a system of receptors found in all mammals. These receptors are located in the brain and nervous system throughout the body, specifically CB1 and CB2 receptors.
Numerous studies have shown the ECS to be directly involved in the processes that keep our bodies balanced day to day.
The endocannabinoid system is largely responsible for managing homeostasis: the body’s natural condition of balance.
When you ingest hemp CBD oil, the CBD interacts directly with the CB2 receptors throughout your body, stimulating your endocannabinoid system.
When is the last time you, or someone you know, had a significant serving of cannabinoids? If you’re like most people who are just hearing about CBD oil, you probably haven’t had one — ever. 20 years ago, the researchers who discovered the endocannabinoid system began to suggest that many of us are suffering from an endocannabinoid deficiency.
It’s not hard to believe, since the average modern diet contains no cannabinoids.
Based on this research, we at HempMeds® believe that it is very beneficial to augment your diet with CBD, and our thousands of repeat customers agree with us.
