CBD is not marijuana or THC or any other high inducing drug. It’s derived from omega essential fatty acids and much more similar in chemistry and effects to an herbal over-the-counter headache remedy, than to a psychoactive stoner substance.

CBD taken orally in tinctures or edibles can help relieve anxiety induced relaxation, aid sleep and stabilize blood sugar. It’s a great pain reliever, anti-inflammatory and one of its most well studied uses is in treating neurological disorders, like epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. In fact, there are very few health challenges that won’t improve, at least symptomatically, when CBD is used correctly.

That includes topical CBD for skin conditions, like eczema and psoriasis. CBD can be especially effective in treating acne. When applied to the skin it can help heal blemishes and calm down cells that make skin oils.

That’s a lot of benefits from a non-toxic plant molecule. It is identical to a natural bio chemical and it’s why CBD has quickly developed a reputation as a modern botanical non drug version of aspirin.
