What Exactly is CBD?

In the last few years, as cannabis culture becomes more normalized, we’ve seen a large increase in products that include cannabis ingredients including the star of our products CBD.

Yet outside of knowing it is an active ingredients found in the cannabis plant and that it’s commonly known as the “cousin” to the marijuana plant that doesn’t get you high, many people don’t have much knowledge about CBD or cannabidiol. The team at Blazin’ Luxe is here to change that. 

 All humans (and mammals) have a natural receptor system known as the endocannabinoid system that allows for regulation and cell communication. 

The system is made up of two receptors through the whole body: CB1 and CB2 receptors

CBD binds to the CB1 & CB2 receptors in a way that causes your body to produce more of them, so the communication between cells can be strengthened and improved.

This activates your bodies own healing system to:

• Boost immune function
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve quality of sleep
• Optimize brain health
• Lower stress, anxiety and depression

CBD has also been known to counter toxic substances and stressors in the brain, and  stimulate the serotonin system which affects (and possibly lower) your perception of pain. 

Much of the therapeutic effects of CBD are actually carried out by your own endocannabinoid system; CBD simply promotes the normal function of the endocannabinoid system. 

You can ingest CBD through countless different methods including:

through topicals, tinctures, capsules, vaping or smoking it, or even eating it.

CBD is not a cure-all; it is a herbal ally meant to support your wellness journey. Stay Blazin’ and Stay Amazin’ beauties.
