CBD oil is soaring in popularity due to the many clinical studies proving its effectiveness in managing certain conditions. CBD oil or cannabis oil is the concentrated liquid extract of the marijuana plant. The cannabis plant is an amazing plant. It's made up of over 100 different cannabinoids, these cannabinoids all have different impacts on the body and are concentrated to different extents in certain parts of the plant. The two most well-known of these cannabinoids are THC and CBD.

CBD stands for cannabidiol (can-na-bid-iol), it is one of over 100 cannabinoids, flavonoids and other natural substances found in cannabis sativa, also known as industrial Hemp. CBD is one of the most well-known cannabinoids, it has no psychoactive properties and is not classed as a narcotic substance, so its use in food supplements is not restricted. The medicinal properties of Cannabinoids based on studies are:

• Relieving inflammation
• Pain Relief
• Help reduce anxiety
• Help manage certain conditions
• Cancer killing properties

Cannabinoids, natural and synthetic are in daily use in medicine worldwide. From epilepsy in children to spasticity in multiple sclerosis and nausea in cancer patients - the use of cannabinoids is growing. The immunological effects of CBD are some of the most interesting - along with the research into the protection of neurodegneration of the brain in diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Cannabis oils are being used for all the diseases listed above, but also Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and even some cancers - with some pretty heavy (but preliminary) research being completed showing mechanisms of action.
