Many people in the wellness world are turning to cannabidiol, commonly referred to as CBD, for its powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety effects. But as its popularity grows so doesn’t the confusion and misconceptions about this plant-based oil. 

About a year ago I decided to take a long hard look at CBD oil and its health benefits. I must admit in the beginning I was skeptical because I didn’t see enough sound scientific proof. 

Well, a lot has changed in a year, and there are now many more studies and compelling personal stories about the health benefits of CBD.

In today’s podcast, we break down what exactly is cannabidiol is, the health claims and the vast difference between the hemp plant and the marijuana plant. 

You will learn how cannabidiol  (CBD) works in the human body and the surprising ways it affects the human anatomy. 

We will also discuss many of the studies linking CBD oil as a potential treatment for epilepsy, inflammation, neuropathic pain, migraines and anxiety disorders like panic disorder, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
