What is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the psychoactive component of cannabis, CBD is non-intoxicating and does not produce a "high."

CBD is primarily used for its potential therapeutic effects. Some of the benefits of using CBD found through scientific research include:

Pain relief: It is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help with chronic pain management.

Anxiety and stress reduction: Some studies suggest CBD may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress.

Improved sleep: It is often used to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.

Epilepsy and seizures: The FDA has approved a CBD-based medication (Epidiolex) to treat certain types of epilepsy, especially in children.

Neuroprotective effects: There's emerging research that suggests CBD could have potential benefits for conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

CBD is available in various forms, including oils, tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals, and even vapes. However, the effectiveness and safety of CBD products can vary, and it's essential to consult a healthcare provider before starting CBD for medical purposes.

I have a medical question about how CBD will affect my medicine, can you help me?

Because every individual’s health situation is unique, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before using CBD, particularly if you're on any prescribed medications. Your doctor can assess potential interactions and advise you on the safest course of action based on your specific health needs.

Do you extract your CBD yourself?

Yes! We extract our CBD ourselves through Organic Cane Ethanol extraction- a method that benefits the environment. The process allows for the ethanol to be almost entirely recovered and reused, reducing waste, conserving resources, and minimizing environmental impact. This approach saves both time and money, while also being more eco-friendly.

Supporting Facts:

Ethanol Extraction: Organic Cane Ethanol extraction is a popular method for CBD extraction as it is considered safe, effective, and environmentally friendly.

Reusability of Ethanol: Ethanol is a renewable resource that can be recycled during the extraction process, reducing waste and resource consumption.

Environmental Impact: By reusing ethanol, the process minimizes environmental impact compared to methods that dispose of solvents after use, contributing to sustainability..
