Cannabis, commonly known as marijuana, is a plant with rather controversial, narcotic properties.
And while its widespread use in many countries, including Poland, is illegal, there is a hemp-based product that is not only widely available, but also used for health-promoting and medical purposes.
We are talking about CBD oils.
Why is their use possible and what distinguishes CBD oils from dried hemp?
The formation and use of CBD oils
CBD oils are approved for use because they do not contain the narcotic substance called THC.
They are also created from a different raw material, as the oil is extracted from hemp seed.
Where did the name CBD come from?
From the name of the compound cannabidiol, which is referred to as CBD for short.
Medical marijuana contains a lot of it, and it is responsible for the health-promoting properties of the oils described.
The popularity of this remedy is steadily increasing, so it is worth learning about its benefits and the ailments it can eliminate.
Hemp is a type of herb and one of the varieties of hemp.
It is from them that oil full of health-promoting properties and fatty acids, extremely important for the body, is extracted.
Cannabidiol has a significant effect on the body for mental and neurodegenerative disorders.
In addition, it supports the nervous system and has the ability to regenerate nerve cells.
If cancer cells are present, CBD oils can help wipe them out, effectively limiting their re-emergence.
And while CBD oils have health-promoting properties to such a sizable extent that they cover advanced diseases of the body, they are not considered a drug, but rather a dietary supplement.
CBD to improve mood and fight depression
For which medical conditions can CBD oils still work?
The list is quite long, so the fact is that CBD oils are an extremely valuable product of a medical nature.
They are used, among other things.
for the purpose of reducing autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, anxiety or epileptic seizures.
CBD oils are also useful in combating chronic pain or arthritis.
It is difficult to list all the health-promoting benefits of oil produced from hemp seed.
However, it is worth mentioning that these include positive effects on the mood and condition of those struggling with depression or battling addictions.
Taking the oil can also improve appetite or reduce the problem of insomnia.
Varieties and use of CBD oils
CBD oils can be divided into two varieties – purified and crude.
The main and clearly visible element that distinguishes them is the color and texture.
The crude oil is much darker in color and a shade of brown, while the purified oils are golden in color.
Consistency and odor are not without difference.
In the case of the raw variety, the oil shows a greater density, while it also has chlorophyll in its composition, of which the purified CBD oil is devoid.
By virtue of its properties as a whole, CBD oils have a protective, preventive and curative effect, so it is worth including in the diet and supplementing in the right doses.
That is, which ones, actually?
In general, CBD oils are practically free of side effects and undesirable properties even when used in high doses, but the average dose oscillates between 100 mg and 3 grams per day.
It all depends on the recommendations on the package, or the doctor’s suggestion, if it is through him that CBD oil is included in the treatment plan.
Hemp oil is a product cold-pressed at about 40 degrees and extracted from the seeds.
Like flaxseed oil, CBD should also be taken cold, in a non-heat-treated form.
Interestingly, CBD oils are not only used as a product for food use, but also as part of cosmetic products.
This is because they have a beneficial effect on skin conditions, eliminating acne lesions and inflammation.
