Braintree, MA – In today’s fast-paced world, we often search for viable options to enhance our day-to-day well-being. One avenue of modern wellness that has gained tremendous attention, skepticism, and scientific acclaim is CBD—a powerful cannabinoid naturally occurring in the hemp plant.

At Sunmed | Your CBD Store Braintree, which is nestled in the heart of Braintree Square, we are on a mission to educate and empower our local community to make informed decisions about their health. Through my 4 years as a Sunmed | Your CBD Store Braintree Store Owner, CBD has proven to be an effective, plant-derived approach for routine relaxation, relief, and sleep support. First, let’s learn about CBD and how this compound interacts with our bodies, bringing about long-term wellness benefits.

CBD and the Endocannabinoid System

CBD (cannabidiol) is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, also known as the Cannabis sativa plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the “high” often associated with Cannabis sativa. Since the federal legislation of CBD in the 2018 Farm Bill, ongoing research and scientific studies have revealed this compound’s therapeutic potential in the health and wellness industries. When ingested, CBD interacts with a vital network of receptors in our bodies, known as the endocannabinoid system.


The endocannabinoid system is an intricate network of receptors and neurotransmitters, primarily found in the brain, central nervous system, peripheral organs, and immune cells. This vital network regulates various essential functions in our bodies, such as mood and emotion, pain perception, sleep, and immune response. CBD and other hemp-derived cannabinoids regulate the receptors of the ECS, balancing our bodies into homeostasis and relieving daily tension, reducing feelings of anxiousness, and many more potential wellness benefits. Yet still, there remains confusion and misinformation about this powerful natural compound.
