What IS CBD Oil and What Does it Do?

CBD oil is extracted from the hemp plant called Cannabis Sativa. The seeds of the hemp plant are pressed until the oils come out. This is what makes it different and less psychoactive than THC, which is extracted from Cannabis Indica or marijuana plant. The industrial hemp oil also contains the traces of THC but not sufficient to cause a ‘high’. It is non-addictive. In some provinces, CBD oil may need a medical prescription for legal use.

A piece of paper or funnel is used to filter the fats. The extracted oil is heated to the boiling point of alcohol finally, alcohol evaporates eventually.

How does it work in the body?

Generally, the human body has specific sites which are designated to cannabinoids, called the receptor sites for cannabinoid. Receptors are mechanisms to which these are naturally present in the human body and also the ones ingested artificially. There two types of cannabinoids, CB1 and Cb2. CB1 receptors are found in brain and CB2 are found in the immune system of the body.

Cannabinoids can act as inhibitors, inverse agonists and agonists. The agonists stimulated the function of the body when they attach with their receptors. Inverse agonists link themselves just like agonists, causing a chemical reaction. Inhibitors just stop a reaction or response once attached to their receptors.
