Have you ever wondered how your body maintains a delicate balance, ensuring that various processes function smoothly? It turns out that there’s a fascinating system within our bodies called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall harmony. In this blog, we’ll explore the Endocannabinoid System in simple terms, so you can better understand this intricate internal mechanism.
The body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates a wide range of physiological processes such as mood, appetite, pain sensation, and inflammation. Various cannabinoids found in the hemp plant interact with the ECS and offer both distinct and overlapping activities.
In this blog, we’ll explore similarities and differences between cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabidiol (CBD)—in their chemical structures, effects on the body, and potential health benefits.
As formulas emerge that feature cannabinoids beyond CBD, it has become challenging to match up the different cannabinoid formulations with their potential indications. One such phytochemical, cannabidiolic acid (CBDa), is the focus of this blog. Read on to learn about CBDa — its relationship to CBD (cannabidiol) and the hemp plant, along with its most promising clinical applications.
Sleep is considered to be the third pillar of health, alongside exercise and nutrition. Yet, 1 in 3 Americans do not get the recommended amount of quality sleep on a daily basis, and only 32% of Americans consider their sleep “excellent” or “very good.”1 Sleep is an essential part of our lives, taking up a third of our day, and getting a good night’s sleep is crucial for overall health and wellbeing.

No pain, no gain? To your patients, no pain is absolutely gain! Pain requires immediate attention … and relief. Topical hemp products are increasingly popular among patients to target localized aches and pains. But not just any topical hemp product will get the job done well. The CBD (cannabidiol) topical market is crowded with products, complicating the selection process.
Isn’t it ironic that so many topical products your patients use every day for bodycare and cleansing aren’t “clean” in composition? Many contain the pernicious “Ps” – parabens and phthalates – which are highly regulated in the EU because research points toward negative health effects particularly from repeated, long-term exposure.
As the largest organ in the body, the skin is constantly being challenged by myriad environmental and cosmetic compounds, climate conditions, internal stress and diet. Most people tend to view their skin as a means of attraction; clean, youthful and hydrated skin is the goal to enhance visual appeal.
Did you know that beyond the phytonutrients in the hemp plant, numerous non-cannabis plants and compounds have also been found to stimulate, antagonize or modulate aspects of the endocannabinoid system (ECS)?
Before gummies were used in the hemp industry, they were not only a candy, but they were used as a delivery system for vitamins and minerals. This came about since we use the mouth to not only swallow pills but also for the absorption of medicines if they are held in the mouth for a period of time.
