What is CBD?

Cannabidiol is growing in popularity across the world, which is a natural remedy used for many common ailments. Commonly known as CBD, it is one of the 104 chemical compounds known as cannabinoids found in the hemp or marijuana plants, Cannabis sativa.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis, and causes the sensation of getting “high” that’s often associated with marijuana. However, unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive.  This makes Cannabidiol (CBD) an appealing option to those who are in need for pain relief and other symptoms, without the mind altering effects of marijuana or certain pharmaceutical drugs.

All our CBD Oils are made from extracting Cannabidiol directly from organic industrial Hemp. This is then diluted with either coconut (MCT) or hemp seed oil.
