CBD Keeps Leaky Gut in Check

Gut health is a buzz word as fermented foods and drinks like Kombucha fill our shelves and health stores but what part does CBD play in helping us maintain gut health? First up, what is leaky gut? Well, it describes the condition of having food particles and toxins leaking into our bloodstream because of a weak or porous cell lining in our digestive systems.

The particles set off an immune response in the body, causing inflammation, and this results in a whole host of issues from skin problems to weight imbalances and brain function issues. CBD offers help in maintaining gut health because it counters inflammatory imbalances and because it lowers cortisol which is a destructive stress hormone that can aggravate the gut.
