In the human body, the skin is the largest organ and is the primary defense system against harmful pathogens, including viruses, fungus, and bacteria.

Since the confirmation of the existence of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), much work has been done to try to unravel this powerful yet convoluted feedback system.

Inflammation of the skin is a natural response of the body’s immune system to allergens and skin Infections. Inflammation may also be indicative of an underlying disease.

CBD – What is it?

CBD, short for Cannabidiol, was discovered in 1940 and is one of more than 100 identified phytocannabinoids (cannabinoids for short) found in the Cannabis sativa plant.

External injuries or falls can, at times, lead to open wounds and bleeding. Without certain mechanisms that allow the formation of blood clots, we could probably bleed to death. These blood clots are essential and beneficial in terms of protecting the body against cuts, wounds, or injury, and preventing excessive bleeding. The clots normally dissolve on their own.

Even though CBD is efficient in addressing a range of health conditions, poor bio-availability of the cannabinoid in oral administration prevents optimal utilization of CBD-based drugs.

The therapeutic potential of CBD in managing many clinical conditions, including pain, sleep disorders, inflammation, and epilepsy, is supported by a growing body of evidence.

CBD’s great performance in treating skin conditions led to further research and development in this area. After several years, CBD has now also been shown to be very effective in reducing inflammation in human sebocytes.
