Cannabidiol (CBD) is an active ingredient which is extracted from the hemp plant species. It is classified as a type of cannabinoid. However, unlike other cannabinoids such as THC, CBD does NOT produce a psychoactive high effect. Our bodies have internal cannabinoid receptors called endocannabinoid system (ECS). This endocannabinoid system has been shown to regulate functions such as sleep, immune-system responses, and pain. Believe it or not, CBD has been used for hundreds of years to treat various types of pain, but the medical community has only recently begun to study it for its potential expanded benefits.
