5 Benefits of Taking CBD Capsules You May Not Know

CBD seems to be the latest craze, but what does it do exactly? Below are 5 benefits of taking CBD capsules you may not know.

What is CBD?

Before we get into it, for those who do not know, CBD is short for cannabidiol. It is a compound within the cannabis Sativa plant. Many people assume that since CBD is from a cannabis plant it must get you high. But, that is not the case at all. THC a.k.a. tetrahydrocannabinol is the psychoactive ingredient and pure CBD has no psychoactive properties whatsoever. Thus, making it an excellent choice for someone who wants to reap the benefits of the cannabis plant without getting that high feeling.

What does CBD do?

Once the CBD has been absorbed into the body’s bloodstream, it interacts with your endocannabinoid system (ECS). The way your body functions internally and balances the external world through homeostasis is what ECS is all about. Keeping this balance is key to a healthy mind, body, and soul!

Benefits of Taking CBD Capsules

CBD capsules are a convienient way for regular CBD users to get a precise amount of CBD in each serving for daily wellness.

1. Insomnia

If you are having trouble sleeping at night, taking CBD may be for you! Instead of reaching for sleeping pills or any other medications to knock you out, why not try something natural. CBD is great to not only help to fall asleep but also help you stay asleep. Insomnia is caused by external factors that are disrupting your body’s functions (Sleeping). As we learned above, the ECS works hard to balance the internal functions in accordance with the external stressors. But, sometimes it needs some help. We recommend CBD for insomniacs as it works to balance your body.

4. Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple Sclerosis is another very serious disease that millions of people in the world struggle with. For the most part, these people are told there is no cure and that things likely won’t get any better. We feel that there are some measures you can take to improve your overall wellbeing, and taking CBD is a great start! MS is a disease in which the central nervous system shuts down, causing signals throughout the body to stop. The ECS involves communication between cells so by taking CBD you can boost your ECS, and help ease MS symptoms.

Oh yes. You read that right! There are new studies showing that by taking CBD regularly, your production of sebum changes. Sebum is a waxy, oily substance that the skin makes to protect itself. But in some cases, there is too much oil buildup which causes acne. Regular CBD users can experience less oily skin and therefore less acne.

The researchers found that CBD inhibited oil production and also had anti-inflammatory effects on oil-producing glands. They concluded CBD was a “promising therapeutic agent” for acne treatment.
