CBD: how it works and how it functions

The endocannabinoid system is affected by CBD. In fact, this substance, without altering the mind and space-time perception, acts on the system guaranteeing its perfect homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain a certain internal stability. And it is precisely on these characteristics that CBD acts. There are several cannabinoid receptors in the human body. Two of them are known to date: CB1 and CB2. And it is through these receptors that CBD is able to bind and condition the entire endocannabinoid system in a beneficial way. CB1 is localized in the central nervous system and mainly in the brain. CB2 is found in the T cells of the immune system and the central nervous system. This system consists of three main parts: Endocannabinoids – cannabinoids produced naturally by the body Cannabinoid receptors Fatty acid enzymes – responsible for the deterioration of cannabinoids.

How it is used

 CBD has beneficial effects on the entire human body. Thanks to the ability to bind with cannabinoid receptors, it acts on the endocannabinoid system which triggers homeostasis rations to restore internal balance to the body, its organs and especially the nervous system. It is used for the treatment of various ailments, both physical and mental. It is used safely in the treatment of diseases, even serious ones, because it does not present any side effects (not even when used in situations of interaction with other drugs). For this reason it is assumed that CBD will be used in the medical and pharmaceutical fields in the future. CBD is also one of the main elements used by the cosmetic industry for the production of various beauty products. In fact, its use is justified by the many beneficial properties attributed to it:
