While there is nothing wrong with these well-known precautions, one compound is quickly gaining popularity for being an excellent choice for boosting the immune system and supporting one’s health (not to mention the added benefits of helping to relieve anxious feelings and reduce stress). This miraculous compound we are talking about is CBD (Cannabidiol).

Throughout this blog post we will discuss how taking CBD can help protect you by boosting your immune system. We all know that when our immune system is strong, we have a better chance to stay healthy and live our best life!

HOW CBD AFFECTS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

Throughout our bodies we have something called an endocannabinoid system. This system has receptors all throughout our brain, nervous system and organs. The endocannabinoid system helps assist our body in regulating our immune system by helping us return to homeostasis. Cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, interact with these receptors and invoke a reaction to the compound introduced. These effects are alterations in a physiological response associated with things such as mood, appetite, memories and discomfort.

Interestingly, CBD is known as an “immunomodulator,” meaning it helps the immune system by keeping it in check and alert. CBD helps to support immune responses in or bodies to respond to antibodies in the most effective way possible. By allocating our immune system’s duties, CBD can help overactive and underactive immune systems to function even more efficiently. CBD is an intelligent immunomodulator and knows exactly what reactions our body must take to aid the immune system in fighting whatever may be dampening our full functionality.

SO, WHAT CAN CBD HELP?

Well, first of all it’s important to know our body’s immune system is very intelligent and extremely delicate. Therefore, it must have an even balance of white blood cells, otherwise unwanted conditions can occur such as an overactive immune system or even and underactive immune system.
