Using plants as medicine is a practice several thousand years old. Cannabis, a naturally growing herb originated in Asia, but today is grown worldwide. In the U.S., it is considered a controlled substance and is classified as a Schedule C1 agent but is now approved for recreational and/or medicinal use in many states. Cannabis or marijuana contains tetrahydrocannabinol, also called THC, and is most known for its psychoactive properties. Cannabinoids or Phyto cannabinoids are produced by the cannabis plant species. CBD oil has a high concentration of cannabidiol and no THC. Cannabis oil, on the other hand, contains both CBD and THC. CBD oil does not produce that euphoric high or psychoactive effect because it doesn’t affect the same receptors as THC. It is made by extracting CBD from the Cannabis plant and then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut. The non-euphoric quality of CBD makes it an appealing option for those looking for symptom relief. It is definitely gaining momentum in the health and wellness world, with scientific studies and testimonials confirming that it may be used to treat many common ailments.
