CBD FOR POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION

Image
Becoming a new mother is one of the most monumental changes a woman will experience in her life. While it is undoubtedly a time filled with immense joy, it can also be a time of great uncertainty. Postpartum depression affects 1 out of 7 women…and for some can be a nightmare.  How CBD Works for Postpartum Depression CBD for postpartum depression is typically favored over using THC-dominant products. Using a CBD oil stimulates a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that is responsible for calming the body and mind and promoting relaxation. CBD has also shown to reduce feelings of depression and anxiety and is often used for this very reason. CBD works by directly activating the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor, which in turn offers a significant anti-anxiety effect. New moms fighting the depths of postpartum depression are finding CBD is something helping them out of the hole. Not only does it help with the high levels of anxiety common in mothers experiencing post

More Science? How Does CBD Oil Work To Kill Cancer Cells?

How Does CBD Oil Work To Kill Cancer Cells? First, let’s take a look at precisely what keeps cancer cells alive, then we will return and take a look at how the cannabinoids CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) deciphers cancer’s aliveness. In every cell, there is a household of interconvertible sphingolipids that mainly handle the life and death of that cell. This profile of aspects is called the “Sphingolipid Rheostat.” If endogenous ceramide( a signaling metabolite of sphingosine-1-phosphate) is high, then cell death (apoptosis) impends. If ceramide is low, the cell is strong in its vigor. Exceptionally, when  THC  links to the CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptor website on the cancer cell, it triggers a boost in ceramide synthesis which owns cell death. A regular healthy cell does not produce ceramide in the existence of THC, therefore is not impacted by the cannabinoid. How Does The Cancer Die? The cancer cell passes away, not since of cytotoxic chemical

In each cell, there are some factors of so-called ‘fatty acids interconvertible-sphingo’, which controls the cell’s life and death. These factors are called ‘sphingo-fatty acid Rheostat’ (SR). If the internal ceramide (a chemical of this) is high, so is cell death (apoptosis) safe while cell activity is high at low levels of ceramide. When THC connects to the CB1 or CB2 receptors in the cancer cell, it causes an increase in ceramide synthesis that controls against cell death. A normal, healthy cell does not produce ceramide, if the THC is present, and is therefore not affected by the cannabinoid. The cancer cells die – not because of cell poison – but because of a small shift in the cell's mitochondria. Mitochondria are cell’s ‘power center’. In most cells, there is a cell nucleus and mitochondria, as well as several other organelles in the cell. Mitochondria are to produce energy (ATP) to the cell. As ceramide is increased, thereby increasing SR, at the same time incr

Why is Cannabidiol, or CBD, so Great?

If you're sensitive to the effects of THC, CBD can be an option that results in a greater level of functionality. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a powerful chemical that occurs naturally in many types of cannabis. In fact,  CBD, the second most common cannabinoid, can be found in both medical cannabis and in hemp . While cannabis researchers and growers have spent a lot of time trying to understand and produce tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), in recent years the focus has begun to shift towards CBD. As we learn more about this incredible substance, we’re getting a better sense of just how much CBD has to offer folks suffering from a variety of conditions and symptoms. Why Patients Use CBD Patients use CBD for many of same symptoms and conditions that THC is used to treat. For one thing, CBD is a potent pain reliever. Although  some studies show that CBD isn’t as effective as THC when treating pain , it’s sometimes a better option for certain patients. Those who like to use CB

Why Eat Anandamide: The Bliss Molecule?

Anandamide, the bliss molecule, binds with the same endocannabinoid receptor as THC does. The word anandamide may sound like chemistry book jargon, but its name was actually derived from the Sanskrit word for “bliss” or “joy.” Anandamide is often dubbed the “bliss molecule,” because it helps drive feelings of pleasure. As a neurotransmitter, it’s also involved in modulating memory, motivation and appetite, among other functions. The Connection Between Anandamide & Cannabis Anandamide was  one of the first endocannabinoids  discovered by scientists. What makes anandamide especially unique is that it interacts with the same endocannabinoid receptors that the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in cannabis does. This is why some folks are able to experience feelings of euphoria and contentment when consuming THC.
