How does CBD Affect the Body?
The Endocannabinoid System includes endocannabinoids, the enzymes that help make them and break them down, and the receptors that endocannabinoids bind to. The Endocannabinoid System helps modulate the regulation of homeostasis across all major systems within the body, ensuring all systems operate in concert with one another. The Endocannabinoid System assists with fine-tuning most of our physiological functions, promoting homeostasis which affects the physiological functions listed below:
Sleep
Appetite
Pain
Inflammation
Memory
Mood
Reproduction
REDUCE ANXIETY
Anxiety disorders are unfortunately the most common mental illness in the country. CBD is a natural way to help you regulate feelings and to fight off stressors trigging your anxiety. It helps your body respond and deal better with those situations
GET BETTER SLEEP
CBD helps by affecting the body's endocannabinoid system. The system helps maintain mood, appetite, sleep and also regulates circadian rhythms. CBD is known to improve your body's reaction to pain, anxiety, and stress, which are often reasons we don't get good, deep, and productive sleep
SUPPORT YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
CBD has been known to help alleviate digestive issues by interacting with the Endocannabinoid System To help with inflammation. Endocannabinoids work with cannabinoid receptors which are mainly found in the brain and gut. When the GI tract or any organ in the digestive system is inflamed, these receptors bind with cannabinoids and begin to reduce the inflammation. Studies have shown that CBD may help in preventing the increase of gut permeability caused by inflammation by binding with receptors to activate their anti-inflammatory properties
IMPROVE YOUR MOOD
Experts believe this is because it has the ability to work with the body's serotonin receptors and because it allows for better sleep. As you know, sleep has a huge effect on mood regulation, and the lack of it can lead to everything from the occasional bad mood to serious depressive disorders. Practicing good sleep habits, including taking CBD before bed, is a great way to help boost your mood each day.

Our immune system is vital to our health and protecting us from things that can make us sick and ill. Unfortunately, we experience a lot of stress and anxiety these days which downregulate our immune system leaving us vulnerable. Taking CBD daily is a natural way to help support your immune system. It has the power to help you sleep better and manage stress. As a result, your immune system will be able to keep you functioning optimally.
