CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a chemical compound from the Cannabis sativa plant, commonly known as marijuana or hemp, as per the US National Library of Medicine. It’s a naturally occurring substance now widely used in various products like oils and edibles for its health benefits. Unlike its cousin, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major active ingredient in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive. Recently, CBD has been classified as a nutritional supplement in the United States, offering the public unrestricted access to CBD supplements. It can be found in multiple forms – oils, capsules, gummies, teas, and even topical salves or ointments. It’s also included in balms and an expansive range of cosmetics. CBD oil is gaining popularity among pet owners who wish to help their pets live healthily.

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters spread throughout the body. This system regulates the balance of various organ systems. The highest concentration of these receptors is found in the brain, the central nervous system, and the immune system. Almost every organ in your body, including the skin and digestive tract, possesses cannabinoid receptors. Studies suggest that most diseases stem from endocannabinoid deficiencies. The endocannabinoid system, a foundational body system, controls vast biological functions, including neuroprotection, immune response, sensory perception, stress management, and cognitive performance. CBD operates through the endocannabinoid system by amplifying our naturally occurring endocannabinoids, helping the body maintain balance.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of endogenous cannabinoid receptors found in the mammalian brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. These include neuromodulatory

lipids and their receptors, according to Wikipedia. The ECS primarily comprises two types of receptors, CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are mainly found in the central nervous system and brains of mammals, and CB2 receptors are generally located in the peripheral nervous system. Mammals produce two main cannabinoids, 2AG and Anandamide (named after the Sanskrit term “ananda,” which translates to “peace”). For hundreds of millions of years, every vertebrate on Earth has been equipped with this ECS, a critical body system. It’s known in scientific and medical communities since the 1980s. However, it’s still not widely taught in most medical schools.
