shown that CBD has a plethora of physio-
logical benefits. It will generally act to
promote homeostasis in the body, situa-
tionally reducing inflammation, decreasing
blood pressure and even killing cancer
cells through various apoptotic and anti-
angiogenic mechanisms. Several studies

multi-target therapy that can do many
things.
(usually in the form of oil or lotion) CBD’s
pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory
properties are released, making the
experience substantially more relaxing.
CBD oil also works in the favor of practi-
tioners because they are able to work
muscles more effectively and on a deeper
level, without the pain that results from
giving a deep-tissue treatment without
CBD oil.
