CBD oil is an oil in which one of the cannabinoids from the cannabis plant is present. This cannabinoid, commonly called Cannabidiol, is the one that after various medical researches has shown to have a high therapeutic power and that allows to treat several pathologies, offering a substantial improvement in ailments that were orphaned of solution, as it is the case of the refractory epilepsy.

Cannabinoids are molecules found in various organic elements. When we refer to the cannabinoids of a plant, they are called phytocannabinoids. In the case of those found in the human body, they are endocannabinoids.
More than 111 phytocannabinoids have been discovered in the cannabis plant, but those that offer therapeutic potential and are proving, after various medical investigations, to have a high potential for improvement are Cannabidiol ( CBD ) and Tetrahydrocannabinol ( THC ). But there are also investigations where they consider that other phytocannabinoids have therapeutic properties yet to be analyzed.

Cannabis has been used for therapeutic purposes for hundreds of years. There are several cultures around the world that have claimed that cannabis has helped to cure various diseases. Dr. Raphael Mechoulam now has evidence of its therapeutic potential after several years of medical research, he has also managed to differentiate between the different cannabinoids within the plant, determining how they work and how they can be administered.

Research has mainly focused on 2 phytocannabinoids: Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). But research is beginning on more cannabinoids that may offer high therapeutic potential that is yet to be discovered. This is the case with CBG or the terpenes found in the Cannabis Sativa L plant.

Among the therapeutic potential offered by CBD or cannabidiol, is that of being a powerful anti-inflammatory, which allows people with chronic inflammatory conditions to have a clear improvement. At the same time it also has analgesic properties and even with low doses, there is a reduction in pain.

THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis, but there is currently a lot of research surrounding it. There are several studies currently being carried out to see whether THC eliminates cancerous cells and whether it helps people with Alzheimer to destroy molecules that encourage cellular destruction.

The other most well-known cannabinoids are CBDA and THCA (they are non-psychoactive) and CBD Cannabidiol – 9THC Delta9Tetrahydrocannabinol – CBN Cannabinol – CBG Cannabigerol – CBC Cannabicromene – 8THC Delta8Tetrahydrocannabinol. Medical research is beginning to determine the potential of each of these.

If it is classified as a phytocannabinoid it means that it is derived from a plant, in this case it is the “Cannabis sativa L plant”, while the cannabinoids that are found naturally inside the body are called endocannabinoids.
Cannabinoids can also be synthesized through chemical reactions in a laboratory for specific use and scientific analysis.

This is called controlled therapy, which allows for correct and measured dosage. In these therapies, the milligrams administered in each case can be specified. This can be achieved with products such as cannabidiol oil, where various producers have strict quality control and certify the percentage of CBD in their products by means of analyses.

If you have a higher volume intake, you are not at risk of overdosing. Likewise, it is recommended that you follow the guidelines indicated by each manufacturer.

No cannabidiol (CBD) does not produce any psychoactive effects. CBD is one of the only cannabinoids that reduces the psychoactive effects that are generated by other cannabinoids like THC.

Kalapa Clinic’s staff will only recommend CBD oil treatment from companies that offer high standards of quality and where the percentage of CBD is known. They will also ensure that such treatments are free from pesticides, heavy metals or pathogenic elements.

No, Kalapa Clinic will only suggest cannabinoid treatments that are made naturally from the whole plant. Several studies indicate that synthetic cannabinoids are not as effective as the cannabinoids from extracts of the cannabis plant.
