There’s always some miracle remedy trending on social media. We’ve seen people swear that acai berries can slow the aging process, and we’ve heard that brushing your teeth with charcoal will “draw out impurities.” Well, the latest magic elixir is CBD oil, and it’s suddenly in everything from bath bombs to dog treats. Despite some controversy — CBD is an extract of cannabis — there are those who claim that a little CBD oil will cure all that ails you including acne, anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD. A lot of the hype comes from companies getting on board with the latest trend, but there are some potential health benefits to using CBD. Here’s what you need to know. Will CBD get you high? No. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a chemical found in cannabis, but it’s not what makes cannabis Snoop Dogg’s favorite herb. The psychotropic part of cannabis is called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD doesn’t interact with the same neuroreceptors as THC, so using CBD oil or cream won’t get you high. That said, CBD does seem to positively interact with serotonin and pain receptors in the human brain. This is why many people attribute so many health benefits to CBD.
