CBD THE LIGHT!
A compound of the cannabis plant, CBD offers promising benefits for supporting immunity. It’s been found to enhance immune-system function and support white blood cell production, specifically in immunodeficient patients. ‘It works in a similar way to an adaptogen, as it acts through multiple pathways in your body to restore equilibrium,’ says CBD advocate Ruby Deevoy (thecbdconsultancy.com).
‘Adaptogens are often marketed as providing stress relief, just like CBD oil, but what they do ismore, adaptogens can possess opposing qualities, such as being stimulating and relaxing, simultaneously. CBD is the same – it gets involved and helps your body in whichever way it needs,’ says Ruby. Both stress and inflammation can weaken your immune system, so using CBD to alleviate these issues may offer immune protection, she adds.
