FACTS ABOUT CBD:

CBD is rich in Omega-3 and 6, which are both essential fatty acids used by the body. They are nutrients, which maintain healthy skin by boosting the elasticity of the cell membrane and improving moisture retention.

To understand how CBD impacts the body, we have to first understand the endocannabinoid system - The endocannabinoid system is involved with keeping the body in balance. Your body has to manage everything from mood, sleep patterns, appetite, pain, immune response and hormones.

The endocannabinoid system is made up of millions of receptors throughout your body. These are primarily found in the brain and central nervous system (CB1 receptors) and your immune system (CB2 receptors). These receptors are responsible for passing messages along pathways to help regulate your body.

Just as iron is vital for the normal function of red blood cells, our endocannabinoid system also needs support. Since CBD doesn’t make up a natural part of our diets, most people don’t do anything to support their endocannabinoid system. This is why the discovery of CBD oil is so exciting and important.

Last year, the World Health Organisation revealed CBD may help treat symptoms relating to Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Epilepsy, MS and diabetic complications. It is reported benefits also include helping to:

• reduce anxiety and support positive mental health

• reduce physical inflammation

• improve relaxation, reduce pain and stiffness

The natural compound of CBD has no known side effects. It can be produced organically to create a clean supplement, which can be taken orally or applied to the body. In this respect, it has an edge over topical medications used to treat skin conditions, as they often have a worryingly long list of side effects.

POTENTIAL USES FOR CBD:

Minimising signs of ageing: These signs are often the result of oxidative stress caused by free radicals: more simply, ageing is the result of damaged skin cells and tissue. Research suggests that CBD could be used to treat signs of ageing due to its antioxidant properties, which are known to neutralise free radicals, thereby protecting the skin from damage.

Minimising the appearance of acne: As an anti-inflammatory, scientists believe that CBD could effectively calm inflamed skin surrounding acne and reduce the redness that makes it so attention-grabbing.

Treating skin conditions: Many people suffer from conditions like eczema and psoriasis which cause discomfort and irritation. Many anecdotal accounts suggest CBD has assisted in reducing the symptoms of these conditions and more and more research is being undertaken. With eczema, it has been suggested that CBD’s fatty acids can soothe itching and inflammation by combating the excessive water loss of the condition. The potential anti-inflammatory quality of CBD could make it equally effective with easing the symptoms of psoriasis.
