CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in cannabis plants that is known for its potential therapeutic effects. When CBD is consumed or applied topically, it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes such as pain sensation, mood, appetite, and sleep. Research suggests that CBD may have several potential benefits for the body. It has been studied for its potential analgesic (pain-relieving), anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), and neuroprotective properties. Some people use CBD to manage chronic pain, reduce inflammation, alleviate anxiety and depression symptoms, improve sleep quality, and support overall well-being.
