HOW CBD REALLY WORKS. FOR REAL.

Incorporating CBD into your daily life will be one of the best decisions you can ever make.

The Role Of CBD

CBD is a plant based product. It comes from the earth, and we’re meant to consume it. Fortunately, it doesn’t work the way people think, so lets smash that myth once and for all.

CBD’s sole job is to trigger the manufacture of a novel compound wthin the body. It does nothing beyond that, it doesn’t get you high, it doesn’t curb inflammation, it doesn’t curb pain, nor anything else, but due to CBD’s interaction within, the body will advance its own healing process, faster than anything.

CBD Helps The Body Do All Of The Work.

CBD interacts with the existing internal system known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Comprising two distinct receptors called CB1 and CB2, the ECS is present on the walls of millions of cells distributed throughout various bodily systems, including the immune system, peripheral nervous system, gut, spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs.

When a molecule of CBD encounters a cell containing a CB2 receptor, it prompts enzymes within the cell to produce a fatty-acid neurotransmitter called 2-AG. Often referred to as the body’s version of CBD, 2-AG has a very short lifespan due to its unique action, which is unmatched by any other neurotransmitter except for anandamide, the body’s equivalent of THC. This unique action, known as retrograde signaling, becomes most apparent when CBD is utilized to alleviate pain. By directly communicating with nerve cells in the local area, 2-AG persuades specific cells to diminish their typical immune response, thereby reducing pain and inflammatory reaction without blocking relevant messages to the brain.

The human body and mind are intricately complex, with decisions made at astonishing speeds to maintain our health. One marvel aiding this process is the body’s neural network, facilitating direct communication between receptors throughout the brain, brainstem, central nervous system, limbic system, lipid system, circulatory system, peripheral nervous system, and exoskeletal system. Endocannabinoid receptors, which create fatty-acid neurotransmitters like 2-AG, are designed to communicate directly with nerve cells equipped with a diverse array of other receptors that produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine in response to 2-AG’s intracellular transmission. The communication initiated by 2-AG typically results in inflammation mitigation and pain reduction.

A Proactive Way To Launch The Immune System.

The body’s immune system is reactive; it requires some form of trauma to produce 2-AG. Millions of individuals are unable to produce 2-AG on demand, a condition known as “Endogenous Cannabinoid Deficiency” (ECD). Many researchers speculate that various autoimmune conditions may be linked to ECD. This is why CBD consumption is important, especially to people who live with autoimmune conditions and chronic pain.

Dosage is Key.

Now that you know how CBD actually works, the question is what to take?

A combination of CBD consumed orally and CBD used topically is highly recommended for maximum effectiveness. A dosage of 2000mg for external application and 1500mg for internal consumption has been found to be most effective. When used for pain relief, CBD works rapidly. Consistent daily use not only provides quick relief but also leads to a gradual reduction in pain over time, contributing to overall improved health.

In conclusion, integrating CBD into your daily routine is highly advisable, and it’s practical to carry it with you in your backpack, fanny pack, or purse. At Pua Olonā, all our products are made with pure CBD isolate, and organic or natural ingredients. Our tinctures also contain distinct, select terpenes, which have a tremendous effect on overall health.
