Inflammation

Find out what CBD could do to help with Inflammation.

Inflammation attributes to many health conditions like cancer, heart disease, bone disease, and chronic inflammatory disease. CBD is associated with anti-inflammatory qualities, and the hype for this cannabinoid has increased significantly since the FDA has allowed it to be marketed as a food supplement. While THC is more effective when dealing with CB1 (controls perception, mood, sleep, memory, and appetite), CBD has a greater impact on the CB2 receptor (affects the immune system). “Since inflammation is an ‘immune response,’ it is important for any compound to focus on the CB2 receptor to reduce inflammation. While CBD is not the only known cannabis compound to activate the CB2 receptor, it is the most abundant.”
