Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound found in the Cannabis sativa plant and is one of its most studied cannabinoids. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD does not produce a “high” or intoxicating effects. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate functions such as pain, mood, sleep, and immunity. CBD is commonly extracted from hemp and used in oils, capsules, creams, and edibles. It is widely used for pain relief and inflammation management. Many people use CBD to help reduce anxiety and stress. It has also shown potential benefits in improving sleep quality. CBD is used in skincare products for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In medicine, it is approved in some countries for treating certain forms of epilepsy. Ongoing research continues to explore its therapeutic potential and long-term safety.
