It usually brings on a slew of symptoms, sometimes even before you see the two lines on a positive pregnancy test.

Over the last several decades, scientists and physicians have explored how cannabis affects the body and mind. One of the most important discoveries from this research has been the endocannabinoid system. Commonly called the ECS, this system was first identified in the early 1990s and is responsible for the healing and relaxing effects associated with cannabis and CBD.

If you’re interested in how CBD can provide you beneficial and healing effects, it pays to understand the basics of this fascinating system.

When you’re depressed, you would do almost anything to feel better.

If you’re like me, you’re a little obsessed with cannabidiol (CBD). Or maybe you’re just now getting into it and you’re doing some research to see what it’s all about. Either way, by now you’ve probably come across the term terpenes more than once.

But what exactly are they and what do they have to do with your CBD products? Some people are saying that they’re just like essential oils, which is both correct and incorrect.

The human body’s ability to heal itself is miraculous. Given the proper support, it can come back from almost anything. Many of today’s common ailments, including brain disease, can be linked at least tangentially to an imbalance in our endocannabinoid system.

Neuroplasticity, the natural change of brain neurons and synapses, is an essential process required for optimal brain health. In adults, this process slows as the number of synapses with dead ends increase. CBD slows this process by trimming these dead synapse ends, clearing the way for new pathways. But how exactly?

According to the Centers for Disease Control, someone suffers from a stroke every forty seconds in the United States, with 15 million people affected worldwide each year.

Almost everyone who has tried CBD oil has pondered: How long does this stuff take to work, anyway?

Unfortunately, this question doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all solution. The length of time required for CBD oil to take effect varies considerably, ranging from an instantaneous effect to a wait of more than two hours. A variety of factors, including how the oil was ingested and its quality, play a role in determining how long CBD oil takes to work.

Recently, after years of research trials, the first Federal Drug Administration (FDA) regulated CBD drug for epilepsy was released. Epidiolex debuted in 2019, and already it’s starting to ameliorate the hardships faced by parents and their children.

Anxiety disorders affect millions of people. In fact, the National Institute of Mental Health claims that approximately 19 percent of U.S. adults aged 18 or older suffered an anxiety disorder in the last year.
