CBD OIL BENEFITS and You!
CBD Oil benefits are new to many people but the benefits for balancing the body and helping to maintain Homeostasis is far reaching and was discovered back in the early nineties. In 1992 Dr. Raphael Mechoulam who discovered the Endo-Cannabinoid System within the human body. The ECS is a system within the human body that controls millions of chemical modulations including influence to the Immune System. Check out some of educational videos below to learn more.

THE MANY BENEFITS OF CBD
Conditions That CBD Helps
Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorders are extremely common, affecting between 6% and 11% of U.S. children in America. The most common medical treatments for anxiety in the U.S. are the use of pharmaceutical drugs like stimulants (amphetamines), anti-hypertensive drugs, and cognition enhancing medications. However, it’s important to realize that these pharmaceutical drugs often have unwanted side effects. In addition to self-care and therapy, you can incorporate CBD into your regimen for natural, plant-based adjustment to the Serotonin receptors to bring on a calming effect.
Because of its influence to the ECS, CBD oil may lessen the visible signs of aging skin by counteracting free-radical damage, Our CBD Topicals are 100% natural with no phosphates, sulfates, emulsifiers or stabilizers so they may help visibly diminish issues like wrinkles and dry skin.
CBD is a cannabinoid that occurs naturally in the HEMP plant. Our body consists of millions of receptors which can be found throughout the central and peripheral nervous system. CBD is a cannabinoid which binds to these special receptors in our body when we consume it. In essence, CBD may help to reduce the pain and swelling associated with IBS and Crohn’s disease.
While it is still being studied, Cannabinoids seem to have influence on hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism due to the changes they make by activating TRPV-1 Receptor which is known to mediate pain, inflammation and body temperature through specific influence to the Vagus nerve.
Opioid addiction is a horrible. It may start innocently with the use of prescription opioids for post-operative pain. They’ll deliver pain relief with a euphoric high by flooding the brain with opioid chemicals that overwhelm receptors. The brain’s natural response is to restore balance by weakening the effect that these chemicals have on the brain. Over time, to achieve pain relief and restore that euphoric high, more pills must be popped, more morphine dripped. Eventually, the drugs themselves are insufficient and harder drugs like heroin are sought.
CBD’s influence to regulate opioid reward stems from its ability to enhance serotonin signaling in the brain through the 5 HT1A receptor. Serotonin is a mood-regulating neurotransmitter that is a common target of anxiety and anti-depressant medications. CBD’s anxiety-adjusting effects can be utilized in addiction treatment by relieving this prominent withdrawal symptom. If you or a loved one suffers from opioid addiction, stop into our CBD dispensary in Phoenix, or any of our other locations, and we’d be happy to discuss possible solutions with you.
Initial research Initial research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that Cannabidiol was able to adjust the development of social recognition deficit in participants. This means that CBD could help people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. Additionally, we know that Cannabidiol helps to detoxify the brain by removing beta amyloid plaques which has been shown to be present in many Alzheimer’s patients. Further, the detoxifying benefits of Cannabinoids help to seal up a leaky blood brain barrier which when overlooked can allow urea to seep into the blood stream and get into the neurological field contributing to different forms of dementia.
CBD’s direct influence to the Serotonin receptor augments serotonin signaling and lowers Cortisol in the brain through the 5 HT1A receptor. Serotonin is a mood-regulating neurotransmitter that brings on a state of calm. The reduction of Cortisol ( a stress molecule ) also helps bring on this calming effect.
Migraine attacks normally involve a severe, recurrent throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head, which can last anywhere between 4 and 72 hours. These attacks may be accompanied by other disabling symptoms, including dizziness, nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity, and tingling or numbness of the face or extremities. Migraines are caused by many unique factors in each person’s body. Just a change in diet such as the avoidance of cheese, dairy and red meat has shown to help reduce Migraines in people.
Numerous studies have also shown that CBD can adjust inflammation in the Neurological field which helps to lower the occurrences of Migraines. If you’d like more information on CBD benefits, stop into our CBD dispensary in Phoenix, or any of our other locations, and we’d be happy to discuss them with you.
CBD’s direct influence on the Serotonin receptor in the brain augments serotonin signaling and lowers Cortisol in the brain through the 5 HT1A receptor. Serotonin is a mood-regulating neurotransmitter that brings on a calming state. The reduction of Cortisol (a stress molecule – too much causes extreme stress) also helps bring on this calming and balancing effect.
CBD has the ability to minimize anxiety through its influence to the 5 HT1A Hydroxytryptamine receptor, which can be helpful in improving restful sleep.
We now offer CBG (Cannabigerol). People report that 5mg of CBG matches 40mg of CBD for sleep. You can learn more about CBG HERE.
See our video on Sleep and how sleep cycles are affected by EMFG stress, and mobile devices.
Cannabinoids, such as CBD, attach themselves to millions of receptors in our brain and immune system. One of these receptors, called a CB2 receptor, plays a key role in the immune system. CBD has been shown to upregulate Glutathione as well as augment Anandamide in the brain (the Bliss Molecule) to help reduce the feelings associate with the discomfort of pain.
Due to the importance of the cardiovascular system, it’s quite obvious that any malfunctioning or illnesses involving this system could have catastrophic consequences. It just so happens that diseases of the cardiovascular system are among the leading causes of death worldwide. Conditions within this category include chronic rheumatic heart diseases, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, and diseases of the arteries, arterioles, and capillaries.
Evidence suggests that CBD is beneficial to the cardiovascular system, with many studies pointing towards the cannabinoid’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects as the key to its therapeutic action.
The FDA has already approved one CBD based drug specifically for use on people with Multiple Sclerosis opening the door to other research in the field of neurological health. MS is a neurological condition that effects the immune system and over time eats away at the protective covering of nerves.
All mammals have what’s called an ECS or Endo Cannabinoid System which governs millions of modulatory responses in the body and brain. It controls resting heart rate, respiration, digestion, even sleep. Cannabinoids, such as CBD, stimulate Glutamate and this helps to govern how inflammation is caused and controlled throughout the body. Obviously, we know that a plant-based diet will reduce inflammation especially the avoidance of red meat, cheese and dairy which have been proven to be all high in processed chemicals. See our video on Cheese.
Hemp extracts and CBD oil has been found to soothe sensitive skin, and studies indicate that it may even be able to help inhibit certain triggers of disorders like psoriasis and improve eczema-prone skin. Again, far more research is needed, but what exists certainly looks promising, and researchers speculate it all comes down to CBD’s influence to the Endo-Cannabinoid system along with its natural anti-fungal properties.
The Endocannabinoid system is a fully functioning regulator for our mood, appetite, temperature etc. The main cannabinoid receptors located throughout the body are called CB1 and CB2. Naturally pure organic CBD extracts bonded to these receptors and help the brain in producing more dopamine which is known to inhibit the symptoms of Parkinson’s. Additionally, we know that Cannabidiol helps to detoxify the brain by removing beta amyloid plaques and Peroxyacyl Nitrates which has been shown to be present in Parkinson’s patients. Further, the detoxifying benefits of Cannabinoids help to seal up a leaky blood brain barrier. A leaky BBB can allow urea (chemical compound in Urine) to seep into the blood stream and get into the neurological field contributing to different forms of dementia.
Depression is caused by many different factors. For many it is a chemical imbalance in the brain. The cannabinoids produced in our bodies (endocannabinoids) help to regulate several functions of the body such as mood, pain sensation, sleep, and appetite. When we ingest phyto-Cannabinoids, we get he same result, a balance of brain chemistry to bring on a state of calm.
