CBD is a cannabinoid, a naturally existing compound found in hemp, cannabis and your own body. Cannabinoids work with your endocannabinoid system, which regulates critical bodily functions and responses like emotional processing, sleep, pain, inflammation, immunity, appetite and temperature.
The endocannabinoid system is being heavily researched along with plant-based cannabinoids to help find treatments for everything from anxiety, PTSD, obesity, sleep disorders, pain relief and more. Many studies are already showing promise in these areas.
