CBD AND ITS THERAPEUTIC USE
The therapeutic virtues of cannabis make it more and more popular. The active substances which compose it are more and more sought after. Present in different quantities depending on the variety, they are thus adaptable to different diseases that they can treat or soothe. The active therapeutic substance is cannabidiol, abbreviated CBD.
WHAT IS CBD?
Hemp (Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica) contains more than 80 cannabinoids, which are, in terms of their chemical structure, terpene phenols. They exist only in the cannabis plant. The cannabinoids in the plant are mainly
in the form of carboxylic acids.
The main cannabinoid is tetrahydrocannabinol(THC), responsible for the psychotropic effect of cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another important cannabinoid, present in large quantities in the plant, but which does not produce a psychotropic effect, unlike THC.
THE THERAPEUTIC USE OF CBD
One of the biggest reasons for the popularity of CBD is its therapeutic properties. When consumed, one of the immediate effects on the body is pain relief due to its anti-inflammatory properties. As humans have 'intrinsic' CBD, the CBD from cannabis naturally combines with it to increase its effectiveness.
THE BENEFITS OF THE CBD
The 5 main virtues attributed to CBD :
- Antipsychotic effects and increased concentration.
- Antioxidant effects.
- Tranquilizer and sleep aid.
- Alleviation of pain associated with certain diseases, even serious ones, such as multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia.
- Unlike THC, it reduces anxiety, stress and paranoia.
