The growing body of research is pointing to CBD as a novel anti-inflammatory supplement. One of the main reasons for this scientific fact is that cannabidiol or CBD can interfere with or inhibit the production of cytokines. Cytokines are proteins produced when the body is under stress or trauma and are responsible for acute and chronic inflammation (1, 2).
Studies show CBD may bolster a weakened immune system so that it might help the body defend itself and prevent infection and inflammation.
Cannabis is also highly regarded as an immune-modulating component. This means it may have the ability to bring the immune system back in to balance when it is either over or under reacting to conditions within the human body (3). This is huge for people suffering from autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis or HIV/AIDS. These diseases are caused when the immune system becomes hyper vigilant in addressing non-threatening internal events and the result is the attack of otherwise healthy cells.
Virtually all animals, humans and pets have what is known as an endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is integral to many body functions, such as sensation, immune response, anxiety, sleep, mood, appetite, metabolism, and memory. It is kind of like a control mechanism that constantly scans your body and looks for anomalies or abnormalities that are out of balance or causing problems; for example conditions that might cause inflammation. CBD targets the endocannabinoid system by interacting with receptors in the brain and central nervous system to help promote balance, or homeostasis within the body. Without getting too technical, CBD binds with CB1 and CB2 receptors found in nerve and immune cells that are present in almost all organs within the body to keep them in balance.
The Mother's Best CBD products are all small batch, organically grown and sourced from our own North Carolina Farm. We don't grow hundreds of acres of hemp and our plants get daily care and attention. We organically feed them in the mornings at sunrise and play them music while we are tending to them. As a result, our plants are more robust and healthy with significantly higher CBD content as well as cannabinoid and terpene profiles.
