What is CBD?

CBD stands for cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD will not get you high. CBD has a very wide array of profound health benefits, and in fact, our bodies naturally respond to it. That’s because CBD is naturally produced by the body. However, despite all the health benefits of CBD, there is still quite a bit of controversy surrounding it due to its relation to cannabis. 

What are some common misperceptions concerning CBD?

It’s unfortunate, but many people assume that since CBD is derived from cannabis-related hemp plants, it must get you high. Sadly, for many years, any product made from hemp or cannabis was classified as a Schedule I drug, which is the same category as heroin. Since any products made with hemp or cannabis were illegal, research concerning its benefits was not readily available. Only recently has the general public become aware of the many scientific studies extolling the benefits of CBD.

What are the benefits of CBD?

There are many thousands of satisfied people all around the world who use CBD as an all-natural treatment for pain, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and epilepsy. CBD for anxiety and pain relief is particularly effective. However, there is growing scientific evidence that cannabidiol is a very promising and effective treatment for more serious conditions, such as symptoms related to cancer treatment.

When it comes to cancer treatment, CBD may have a significant impact on patients’ well-being when used alongside more traditional cancer treatments. In fact, studies show that using CBD and THC together, along with conventional cancer treatments, could be the optimum synergy. 

One thing that the FDA has approved is a CBD-derived drug to treat childhood epilepsy. Go online and look at one of the many YouTube videos showing parents stopping their child’s epileptic seizure with CBD oil. These videos miraculously show an active seizure completely stopped with a simple dose of CBD oil. In fact, British DJ Chelsea Leyland, who is epileptic, is producing a documentary about CBD’s effectiveness for treating epilepsy and seizures. Leyland is also a U.K. cannabis activist, fighting to legalize healing cannabis and CBD in the U.K. 

Finally, when applied topically in a lotion, CBD may reduce the inflammation associated with acne and eczema. CBD lotions and salves are also popular for the relief of acute muscle pain. The natural compounds within hemp are also very nourishing to the skin.

Where is the best place to buy CBD?

MINERAL sells CBD oil in Austin and is located on East Sixth Street in Austin Texas. The company grows its own high-CBD strains of hemp to formulate its unique full-spectrum hemp products.
