CBD or Cannabidiol is the second most abundant compound in cannabis and has a wide variety of therapeutic benefits. The human body contains an endocannabinoid receptor system (ECS), the internal system that helps achieve homeostasis and maintain a healthy biological balance. The ECS is responsible for actively regulating organ systems and other bodily functions to keep them in equilibrium, allowing your body to perform at its optimal level.

CBD belongs to a category of compounds found in the cannabis plant called cannabinoids. CBD is non-psychoactive which means it does not produce a high. This makes CBD a game changer in the cannabis community. Illuminent CBD can be used for its therapeutic properties without having the intoxicating effects of a psychoactive substance.

The Flu has been particulary rough this season. Many of us reach toward endless bottles of NyQuil and bowls of chicken soup. We have a great option. CBD! While cannabidiol, also known as CBD, can’t cure the flu or the common cold, it can help boost your immune system and make those flu symptoms a lot more bearable. 
Our body’s attempt to fight cold and flu viruses automatically causes inflammation in the throat, sinuses, nose, and lungs. The cannabinoids and terpenes found in CBD may help drive down inflammation in these areas, and therefore relieve symptoms like a runny or congested nose.
