CBD oil is short for cannabidiol oil, an extract which is made from the hemp plant and then blended with a carrier oil.

There are two main types of CBD oil in the UK - “Isolate” and “Broad Spectrum”. Isolate CBD has all other compounds removed, whereas broad spectrum CBD contains a range of other cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, excluding THC and is generally considered to be a superior product.

CBD interacts with receptors in your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), as well as other neurotransmitter systems, producing therapeutic effects without an intoxicating high.

Yes. High quality CBD oils which are on the FSA’s Novel Foods register, have less than 1mg of THC per bottle and have been made from industrial hemp are legal for sale, possession and use in the UK.

CBD's primary mode of action is its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, which regulates functions like sleep, mood, and pain. It does this by interacting with receptors in the ECS, but also by affecting pain receptors and neurotransmitters in the brain. This broad interaction spectrum contributes to its diverse range of benefits.

CBD promotes a sense of relaxation, relief from pain or inflammation, reduces anxiety, improved sleep quality and focus. CBD also helps alleviate symptoms of stress and promotes a general sense of ease without impairing cognitive function or causing intoxication.
