How does CBD oil work?

CBD oil works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the body. The ECS is a complex system of receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids that are found throughout the body. The ECS plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes such as mood, appetite, pain, and inflammation.

CBD interacts with the ECS by binding to CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are primarily found in the brain and central nervous system, while CB2 receptors are found in the immune system and peripheral tissues. CBD does not bind directly to these receptors but modulates their activity, leading to various physiological effects.

Here are some ways in which CBD oil works in the body:

1. Pain relief: CBD oil has been shown to reduce pain by interacting with the ECS. It can reduce inflammation and modulate pain signaling pathways, leading to a reduction in pain and discomfort.

2. Anxiety and depression: CBD oil has been shown to have anxiolytic and antidepressant effects. It can reduce anxiety and depression by modulating the levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and GABA.

3. Epilepsy: CBD oil has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of two rare forms of epilepsy: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome. CBD has anticonvulsant properties and can reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.

4. Acne: CBD oil has been shown to reduce acne by reducing inflammation and sebum production in the skin.

5. Neuroprotective effects: CBD oil has neuroprotective effects and can protect the brain from damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation.

6. Addiction: CBD oil has been shown to reduce drug addiction by reducing the rewarding effects of drugs such as opioids and cocaine.

7. Insomnia: CBD oil has been shown to improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia by regulating sleep-wake cycles.

Exploring High-CBD Strains: Beyond THC – The Power of Cannabidiol

Medical cannabis is often associated with THC, the compound responsible for its psychoactive effects. However, another key component, CBD (cannabidiol), is gaining recognition for its non-intoxicating therapeutic potential. At MOCA Health, we offer high-CBD strains that provide a natural way to address various health concerns without the "high" associated with THC.

What is CBD?

CBD is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. Unlike THC, it does not produce psychoactive effects, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking relief from symptoms while maintaining mental clarity.

High-CBD strains are rich in cannabidiol and contain minimal THC, creating a balanced profile that delivers therapeutic benefits without unwanted side effects.

The Benefits of High-CBD Strains

High-CBD strains offer a range of potential benefits, including:

• Pain Management: CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) to modulate pain signals and reduce inflammation.

• Anxiety and Stress Relief: Studies suggest that CBD can help regulate mood and alleviate anxiety by influencing serotonin receptors.

• Improved Sleep: CBD promotes relaxation and supports restful sleep by calming the mind and reducing discomfort.

• Neuroprotection: Emerging research highlights CBD’s role in protecting neurons and supporting cognitive health, making it a promising option for neurological conditions.

Why Choose High-CBD Strains?

For many patients, the therapeutic effects of CBD provide the relief they need without altering their ability to function during daily activities. High-CBD strains are suitable for:

• Patients sensitive to THC or those seeking non-intoxicating options.

• Individuals looking for a complementary treatment for chronic conditions like pain, anxiety, or epilepsy.

• First-time cannabis users who prefer a gentler introduction to medical cannabis.
