How CBD Works: A Beginner's Guide to Amphora CBD Products
Reading time – 4 minutes
CBD is suddenly everywhere. More than 11% of adults in the UK have explored CBD as part of their wellness routine. It’s easy to see why.
CBD has been found to assist in everything from reducing inflammation to getting a good night’s rest. Lifting moods to easing aches. It’s non-intoxicating and non-addicting. It tops off the list of innovative wellness trends.
CBD can seem intimidating if you’re a beginner. New terms. New products. New choices. What is it? And how does it work in the body?
If you’re new to CBD, Amphora can help you find your match. Are you A Peace? A Mend? An Inspire? A ZZZ? Let’s start with some CBD basics.
What is CBD?
CBD stands for Cannabidiol. It's one of the hundreds of cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. These compounds are produced naturally in cannabis. They are also produced naturally inside our own bodies.
Cannabinoids are part of our endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a complex network within us that helps to regulate most everything. Mood. Sleep. Appetite. Inflammation. It also helps regulate how we respond to things like disease, pain, and mental or emotional distress.
The ECS produces cannabinoids and the individual cell receptors that they bind to. The harmony between cannabinoids and cell receptors is what keeps our systems in balance.
How Does CBD Work?
CBD works with our ECS. That’s why so many people include it in their holistic wellness routine. CBD works with our body’s natural system of equilibrium.
CBD nudges the ECS to adjust what it is making and how much of it. Essentially, CBD is like an ECS whisperer, gently tuning the dial on how many of cannabinoids and receptors we are producing to keep the body in balance.
The Entourage Effect
When CBD meets the right combination of terpenes, things get even more exciting. Terpenes are organic compounds found in all plants.
Different terpenes have different properties. Some, like pinene, have stimulating effects like alertness and energy. Others, like humulene, are natural anti-inflammatories. More than 100 different terpenes have been found in the Cannabis plant so far.
Amphora blends pure CBD distillate with custom botanical terpenes. Our four targeted formulas offer a perfect fit for every wellness lifestyle. Peace. Mend. Inspire. ZZZ.
We’ve got your whole entourage covered.
Will It Get You High?
A top question for CBD newcomers is ‘How will I feel?’ ‘Will it get me high?’
No, CBD will not get you high. That’s THC, a different cannabinoid. THC is responsible for the intoxicating effects that many associate with using cannabis.
CBD is not intoxicating. It will not leave you melting into the sofa and eating crisps all day. CBD is extracted from cannabis as well as from hemp. The extraction process leaves little to no THC behind. Anything with <0.2% THC are legal for sale in the UK.
One of the fantastic things about CBD is how gently it works on the body. Many CBD devotees say the first thing they notice is what they stop feeling. Tired. Unfocused. Achy. Anxious.
Instead, they simply feel well. Comfortable. At ease in body and mind. More alert, better rested and enjoying their lives to the fullest.
That's the beauty of CBD. It lifts, and it eases. It relaxes, and it inspires. It works delicately with your body's own intricate systems.
