Here at VAAY we see our task not only to provide you with our high quality CBD products but would also like to inform you about the topic CBD. If you yourself are interested in the topic of CBD, its effect or CBD-oil experience of other users, then you are exactly right in our Hemp Wiki. Because we provide you now with the Key Facts about the valuable components of the hemp plant and how we use them. From our guide here you will reach also to all the major sub-themes of our hemp-wiki.
Now you know already that the hemp plant has different varieties. What interests us here is the so-called fiber hemp or industrial hemp that no intoxicating effect has, but at the same time produces the desired of us CBD. But what's CBD exactly? CBD is the same as a so-called cannabinoid THC hemp plant. And one of the cannabinoids, which can interact with our body's endocannabinoid system. What is it and how it works, we'll tell you in the next part of the wiki. We remain times briefly in the CBD: CBD may have anti-inflammatory and relaxing as the active ingredient. We are talking about an all-rounder that can be docked to different receptors to support the body's system. Just this CBD we set example for our products as our Sportgel code, the Badekugel code, mouth spray or our CBD oil a

endocannabinoid system: What is it and why do I need the
?
Now we have to just drift off into Scientific. The so-called endocannabinoid system we are talking about a part of the human nervous system. This has endogenous cannabinoids. We are talking about the so-called endocannabinoids. You can dock different receptors in your body. These receptors are found for example in your brain, your immune system, your circulatory system and also in your gastrointestinal tract.
This system regulates a variety of processes and ultimately affect your psyche or your mood. but it also influences your memory or inflammatory processes. The aim of this system is to keep your body in a healthy balance. The cannabinoids dock with receptors such as the CB1 or CB2. CB1 receptors are responsible for memory, for example, processing or your pain regulation. CB2 receptors, for example, take care of your immune system.
CB1 and CB2: Here the CBD cannabinoids dock
It is precisely this effect of the body's own endocannabinoids can be mimicked by the plant cannabinoids or even strengthened. Also in researching this Endocannabionidsystems science plugged actually still in its infancy. the whole thing was only discovered in 1992. Since then, scientists continuously at its exploration. There is preliminary evidence that a malfunction of the system can play especially in chronic diseases a role. CBD is next to THC, the most thoroughly studied cannabinoids. but the two most common herbal cannabinoids THC and CBD themselves act completely different with the individual receptors.
Both CBD as well as THC is active ingredients of the hemp plant. Both have different applications and assist in taking very different. While THC has a quite intoxicating effect, it looks at the CBD quite different. Meanwhile, also THC for medical treatment used. Even in Germany, doctors may prescribe THC-containing cannabis. Only someone who has a corresponding recipe that THC-containing products may own and consume. Medicinal cannabis is now being used for pain disorders and other symptoms. The greatest disadvantage of this drug: One on the road or driving heavy machinery is no longer possible due to the effect. That is, a drug using the THC is no fun for patients. Often these have
a lengthy medical history, when other medications have not been successful.
CBD is the little brother of THC - without intoxicating Side Effect
CBD hand, has none of the above-introduced effects. It does not make you stoned or high. It makes you not on it and makes you not euphoric. It can have the little brother of THC, the positive effects on the body's system, you relax, you not knocks out like a punch. Between the modes of action and the application of the THC and CBD are worlds apart. But here, too, shows again clearly that it is very difficult because of the THC and its primary use in the past for the production of drugs for us today, get CBD from this topic. Throw a look in our THC vs. CBD -Ratgeber. As we review the issues again.
terpenes and CBD - only odor or helpful for aromatherapy
Anyone who ever classic marijuana smelled knows that medical THC-containing cannabis has a special odor note. Also THC weak industrial hemp and its flowers have a similar smell composition. This odor is caused by so-called terpenes. These are natural compounds give plants their characteristic scent. We know the terpenes usually in the form of essential oils. All have a common basic structure, but differ significantly in their odor. Simply put, lavender smells quite different mint. Terpenes are responsible for the typical smell of both plants. In nature, these terpenes have a natural function: they attract insects to pollinate flowers and to help so the plant in receiving. At the same time, the terpenes are perceived as unpleasant by other animals and insects. Thus, these also protect the plant from predators.
In aromatherapy terpenes are used. Cannabis is divided here as different terpenes with other plants. So the terpene myrcene was found both in balsamic as with cannabis plants, for example. Limonene is found in oranges and the hemp plant. It is believed an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. With linalool, which is found for example in the lavender and the cannabis plant, it is suspected that it has a hypnotic and sedative effect. They were now only three of the major terpenes: To date, approximately 20,000 terpenes are identified. In the cannabis plant about 200. At the same time these terpenes also have a supportive effect of cannabinoids. Experts speak effect here of the so-called Entourage.

This assumes that the CBD products not exceed a THC content of 0.2%.
In short: Since we are talking about a plant genus in which it would be possible depending on the variety, to win CBD and THC, the legislature determines the THC value here as to when a product falls under the Narcotics Act.

looks really?
The general CBD effect is perceived very differently by users. Everyone should find the best CBD-oil dosage for yourself. But while you should not exceed the recommended dose.

Depending on the needs of the fast-acting Vape or even the slow and longer-acting capsule may be the right product for you sooner. If you have problems getting to sleep, perhaps a combination of hemp extract and melatonin is right for you.
