How Can We Help?
Where does CBD oil come from?
In New Zealand there are a few large hemp farms producing hemp seed oil and hemp protein but have to discard the extremely valuable CBD oil due to outdated, poor regulation and a misunderstanding about hemp at the government level. With no intoxicating effect and a host of well researched health benefits it is disappointing so much CBD oil has gone to waste in New Zealand but we are hopeful this will change soon.
At the CBD Oil NZ team we're looking to provide you with up to date information on CBD in New Zealand regarding new research and regulation.
Where does CBD oil come from?
CBD or cannabidiol is one of the most abundant cannabinoids created by the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, its psychoactive counterpart, CBD has no intoxicating affect and is known for it’s vast range of health benefits. Typically, CBD comes in an oil form, extracted from the resin on the bud of the cannabis plant and consumed as drops or vaporised. However with different names like cannabis, hemp, and marijuana, there is often confused as to where CBD oil generally comes from.
CBD Oil for Anxiety
Extracted from the cannabis plant or hemp, cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural and safe way to control anxiety and its symptoms. The known effects and benefits of this amazing natural product have been accepted for thousands of years and yet only recently have researchers started to put resources into understanding the science of it.
How CBD Can Help With Concussions
Many people suffering from the long-term effects of concussions are turning to CBD for alleviation of symptoms and recovery. Concussions are common in people involved in vehicle accidents, in kids and adults who accidentally fall, and most common among sports persons, particularly those who play contact sports such as rugby. While some people have short-term symptoms and recover on their own, others have long-term symptoms that require medical assistance. Since typical medication only alleviates symptoms temporarily, many people are turning to CBD since it helps brain cells to recover and alleviates most symptoms.
