“How does CBD work?”  We get this question A LOT!  As people consider a more natural or alternative solution for dealing with a range of conditions, we’re glad that they are asking questions!  Like we’ve written about before...there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all-solution when it comes to addressing individual health and wellness.

At the House of Hemp OBX our staff spends a considerable amount of time educating ourselves -- as well as our customers -- about the science of CBD. While it doesn’t require a degree in chemistry or biology, it does deserve some attention.  So in that light, we thought we’d share some of the educational information offered on our website...

Clinical research on CBD has included studies looking at pain, inflammation, anxiety, auto-immunity, and neurological issues. We all have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our body – and this system may be the most important physiological system involved in maintaining human health. ECS is responsible for the protection of our nerves and the modulation of our immune system. ECS also regulates our biological processes and internal systems during times of stress, illness, and injury -- ultimately enabling our body to return to a state of homeostasis. CBD, as do all cannabinoids, can produce effects in the body by attaching to cells via receptors in our ECS -- namely, Cannabinoid Receptor 1 (CB1) and Cannabinoid Receptor 2 (CB2). These receptors are located throughout the body, with many located in the brain. The CB1 receptors -- most commonly present in the brain – effect movement, pain, and are our primary psychoactive receptors. CB2 receptors commonly found in the immune system effect how the body reacts to inflammation and pain. Some might wonder how CBD has so many potential therapeutic benefits – and the biological basis for its wide range of potential medical uses. Part of the explanation lies in CBD’s “promiscuous pharmacology” — in other words, its ability to influence a wide range of receptor systems in the brain and body. So simply put, when someone ingests an edible or put drops of oil under the tongue, plant-derived compounds enter the body, first through the bloodstream and then to the brain. Once arrived, CBD can influence brain activity by interacting with the receptors on your cells.
