CBD oil i’m sure you have already heard is the new craze which i’m pretty sure is one to stay. There has been a mind shift from the traditional way of thinking of CBD to a more holistic wellness approach taking into consideration it’s vast benefits.

So lets go back to the basics, what is CBD? Known as cannabidiol, it is one over over 100 chemical compounds known as cannabinoids found in the cannabis or marijuana plant, Cannabis sativa. THS is the main psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis and causes the sensation of getting ‘high’ thats often associated with marijuana.However unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive. CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with an oil like coconut or hemp seed oil.

The qualities of CBD oil make it very attractive for people suffering with chronic pain and anxiety, as well as the scientific evidence behind it.
