CBD or cannabidiol, is one of the primary cannabinoids located within the cannabis plant.

Tetrahydrocannabinol THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid also located within the cannabis plant. THC will give the sensation of feeling high, where as CBD does not contain this ingredient, therefore not giving the feeling of being high or buzzed.

Their is still an abundance of research to be configured within the CBD field, but its acceptance towards different conditions and symptoms is gradually gathering pace. 

Studies have been conducted on the heart and its clear to see that CBD can have a positive effect on the heart and high blood pressure. Research shows that antioxidative and anti inflammatory properties of CBD, can have a positive effect in this area and lessen the risk of certain conditions such as strokes and high blood pressure. 

Hypertensive heart disease is predominantly caused by high blood pressure. Contributing factors for high blood pressure are smoking, being overweight, diet, stress, alcohol and others. But studies now show that administering a small amount of CBD can have positive results on this condition and symptoms. Data from the studies showed that small amounts of CBD administered at regular intervals reduced heart rate and also blood pressure.

Further studies have shown that CBD can also help reduce brain damage in heart attack patients, and furthermore can also help stimulate brain behavior. Just to conclude. These studies were conducted on animals and not humans. Suffice to say further data is required to establish if CBD will have the same effect on humans.
