I've been hearing a lot about CBD oil lately. What is it and what are the benefits?

CBD oil is a product derived from cannabis plants that contains cannabidiol, which is one of many active compounds found in marijuana. It's typically extracted using a process called supercritical CO2 extraction, which involves heating the plant material to high temperatures and then passing it through a pressurized chamber containing carbon dioxide. This removes the THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content while leaving behind the CBD. The resulting oil can then be used for various medical purposes, including reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and treating anxiety. Studies have also shown that CBD may help reduce seizures in children with epilepsy, as well as improve sleep quality and reduce stress.
