Cannabidiol, also called CBD, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis sativa plant that is often applied topically or consumed in the form of oil. CBD oil can have many benefits, including: 1) Relieving chronic pain – some studies have shown that, when used topically, CBD oil can help decrease chronic localized pain. 2) Protecting against neurological diseases – CBD oil appears to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could prove to provide protection from certain neurological diseases. 3) Calming anxiety and depression – some recent studies suggest that CBD oil may be able to decrease levels of anxiety and depression.
