cbd oil and charcoal

DEFINITION

CBD is one of many compounds (called cannabinoids) found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not make you feel high or intoxicated, and is used in oils, tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals and more.

Common Uses of CBD Oil

People use CBD oil for a variety of reasons (mostly based on early research and personal reports), including:

✔ Chronic Pain & Inflammation

Some evidence suggests CBD may help reduce pain and inflammation by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system. 

✔ Epilepsy & Seizure Disorders

A prescription form of CBD (Epidiolex) is FDA-approved for certain types of epilepsy (e.g., Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome). 

✔ Anxiety & Mood Support

CBD is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood regulation. Some research indicates it may affect serotonin pathways in the brain, which influence mood. 

✔ Sleep Support

Many people find CBD helpful for falling asleep or improving sleep quality, especially when anxiety or pain interferes with rest. 

How CBD Oil Is Used

CBD oil can be taken in various ways:

• Orally (drops/tinctures under the tongue or in capsules)

• Topically (rubbed on skin for local relief
