So what is CBD?
CBD is shorthand for cannabidiol, a compound which belongs to a group of chemicals known collectively as the cannabinoid family.
And where can you find cannabinoids? You probably already guessed it. In a genus of plants known as cannabis (or, more technically, cannabis sativa).
f you’ve been following the latest news in the health supplement world, it’s likely you’ve come across the acronym CBD.
These three capital letters are completely changing the way we think about, promote, and enhance health and wellbeing in humans and pets. Here at Medical Mary, we believe it’s the most thrilling development in natural wellness in recent history. Maybe all of history.
Now, CBD isn’t the only cannabinoid. In fact, scientists have identified over 100 different cannabinoids, each with its own unique properties and potential beneficial effect on animal physiology. CBD has taken center stage because people who take it regularly often report relief from common ailments such as anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, and more.
We’re not surprised. Our customers tell us this all the time!
Not only that, scientists around the world are conducting promising research that appears to confirm that CBD may help with a variety of conditions. Although we can’t make specific health claims about CBD (at least not yet) we can encourage you to consider the compelling science behind it and the many people who enthusiastically testify to its power again and again.
How powerful is CBD?
Many would say: Very.
Just one piece of evidence: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved the epilepsy drug Epidiolex, a CBD-based drug used to treat Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, both rare and devastating illnesses.
