An herbal remedy with a long history of safe effectiveness

A major stigma for the medically useful cannabidiol, or CBD, is that it is often confused with THC, another element of the cannabis plant that is used recreationally to achieve a high. But CBD is made from the roots and stems of the plant, rather than the leaves and flowers that yield THC. Unlike marijuana, it is legal in all 50 states and most countries around the globe.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the portion of the cannabis plant that is known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anxiolytic and neuro-protective properties. As a neuro-protector, CBD fulfills a number of functions, including reduction of radical oxygen species, support of mitochondrial function at the cell levels, and prevention of glutamate toxicity, to name just a few.

As an anxiolytic, CBD offers a wealth of opportunities for developing natural approaches for alleviating pain. Its anti-inflammatory properties enable its effective use in such conditions as rheumatoid arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders ad sleep apnea. CBD has also been used to combat cancer.
