CBD has become quite a popular choice when it comes to managing chronic pain, sleeplessness, depression, or anxiety. You might have heard of the tremendous health benefits associated with CBD oil and if you have just stepped into the massive world of CBD you might not be able to comprehend the reasons for the immense popularity of this product. Moreover, there are jargons used to describe CBD that can put you off from learning about CBD oil, so here’s a guide to understanding Full Spectrum CBD oil the easy way!  Before jumping to the discussion of full spectrum CBD oil, we should first familiarize ourselves with what CBD really is.

What is CBD?

CBD, the popular name for Cannabidiol, is an extract of the hemp or cannabis plant with innumerable therapeutic potential. CBD oil consists of the hemp extract containing CBD along with another major component of the hemp plant known as THC which is famous for its psychoactive nature and its ability to cause a high. Along with these two main ingredients, CBD oil is made up of other naturally occurring compounds present in hemp plants such as terpenes and flavonoids.

If you are concerned that your CBD oil may make you high because of THC present in it, fret not because THC content in full-spectrum CBD oil (discussing this term ahead) is within 0.3 percent as approved by the Canadian law hence such a minimal amount of THC is insufficient to cause someone to get into a high.

What is Full Spectrum CBD Oil?

Full-spectrum CBD oil is a category of CBD oil that is richly blended with all the compounds occurring naturally in the hemp plant. It consists of compounds such as CBD, terpenes, THC, and flavonoids. The other categories of CBD oil are broad-spectrum CBD oil and CBD isolate. While broad-spectrum CBD oil contains content similar to full-spectrum CBD oil, the only difference is that it is devoid of THC. Additionally, isolate CBD oil comprises only CBD with no added compound.

It is no wonder that full spectrum CBD oil is regarded as the most popular and also the most effective because of the entourage effect that has come to light explaining why full-spectrum CBD oil has greater therapeutic potential than any other type. According to the entourage effect, all the naturally occurring components present in full-spectrum CBD oil work at a cellular level in our body in a concert-like fashion and result in a synergistic response. Hence the effects resulting from the presence of all the compounds acting together can not be seen when the same compound is present singly in a product. This explains the reason why full-spectrum CBD oil products yield the most benefit hence it is the most popular choice among CBD users.
