What is chronic pain? Chronic pain refers to any type of pain that lasts longer than 3 months. This can include everything from sore muscles after a workout or a sports injury to back problems like scoliosis or arthritis to more serious conditions such as cancer or diabetes. What’s happening when you have chronic pain?
While there are many compounds that exist in hemp plants (and thus CBD oils), only one of them has therapeutic properties: cannabidiolic acid or "CBDa." When you buy an oil from a reputable company, the label will tell you what percentage of CBDa is present in your product; if there isn't enough in there then don't expect any benefits at all!
CBD oil is extracted from the cannabis plant. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of at least 113 active cannabinoids identified in cannabis. It is a major phytocannabinoid, accounting for up to 40% of the plant's extract, that binds to a wide variety of physiological targets of the endocannabinoid system within the body. CBD oil works by activating this network to help regulate homeostasis and support a healthy immune system.
