If you’re like me when I first heard of CBD your probably wondering "..eh.. cannabis… (scratches head) Sounds strange that cannabis can be healthy!"

You may even feel concerned that it’s wacky backy and your going to end up high as the sky and eating your own body weight in chocolate and crisps.

Well I’m here to assure you that CBD is just a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. THC is the cannabinoid that causes a psychoactive effect whereas CBD is completely separate and effects the ECS system in a totally different way.

And that’s what the whole point of using CBD is to get it into your bloodstream so that it can feed your ECS system.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) was just discovered 30 years ago. It’s the largest neurotransmitter in the body and anything with a backbone has one.

It basically lends a hand in nearly everything that we do but its main roles are

Homeostasis – this is the regulation of the body to bring it to balance. So sleeping patterns, appetite, mood, pain sensation, metabolism, PH Balance, Body Temperature and much, much more.

Immune Protection – Protects the immune system so that the immune system can protect us from disease.

Neuro Protection – This is protection of the nervous system

Stress Recovery- Repairs the body from stress whether that’s emotional, mental or physical stress.

Our bodies naturally produce a chemical called Endocannabinoid which attaches to the cells of our ECS system and fuels it so it can do everything it needs to do to keep our bodies in balance.

CBD is nearly identical to the body’s natural chemical endocannabinoid, so when we are deficient and use a CBD supplement it attaches to the ECS system perfectly. Like a key that fits the lock.

Unfortunately, some of us are deficient and don’t produce enough endocannabinoids to supplement our ECS System. Therefore it can be beneficial to use a CBD supplement to help the ECS system to do its job. 

Well firstly there is no one size fits all with CBD. It really is different for each of us and that’s because we are all wonderfully unique. We have different bodies, lifestyles, past health issues and current states of health.

No matter who you are or your reasons for using CBD we all start on a low amount and gradually increase. A good starting guide is between 0-25 mg a day then after 7 days you can either double the amount or decrease it. Then 7 days after the same process again.

The maximum daily amount of CBD to use is 200mg as recommended here in the UK.

It’s really about starting on a small amount and listening to your body to see how you feel. It's only you that knows what’s best for you and you only know by trying it for a few weeks.

Absolutely- that is why we are here. Just use the contact form and send us an email. We will be sure to respond as soon as possible.

We look forward to hearing from you!
