Learning how hemp interacts with our bodily systems is crucial to understanding how CBD can support and improve your healthy lifestyle. All Green Compass products begin with the ancient healing properties inherent to hemp fused with modern applications so you can safely integrate hemp into your life in a way that feels most natural to you. Our goal is to offer clean, 100% organic hemp products that complement and enhance your quality of life without the often-complicated side effects of traditional pharmaceutical medicine. That said, individuals should still consult with their healthcare professionals, as hemp is not meant to be a replacement for any current health measures.
When exploring the healing properties of safe hemp, we’re conscious of its misunderstanding by society and the marketplace, which is why we constantly strive to inform and address common misconceptions, such as key differentiators between CBD and marijuana. For starters, both CBD and THC are native components, amongst many others, to the cannabis plant and interact differently with our bodies. The renowned “high” associated with marijuana is a result of higher levels of THC, whereas our extracted CBD contains less than 0.3% THC, making it free of psychoactive properties. Our 100% organic CBD/hemp products solely aim to alleviate, restore, and improve balance within the body.
Hemp and the body
To fully understand the vast benefits of hemp-based CBD, we must recognize one simple fact: we humans naturally embody our own cannabis system, called the endocannabinoid system. This system largely influences our nervous system and everyday functioning. Cannabinoids, like CBD, tap into the natural cannabinoid receptors found throughout the body to support a balanced endocannabinoid and nervous system. Such benefits range from alleviating pain, decreased stress levels, improved focus, regulation of appetite and sleep, and overall reaching of homeostasis within the body.
Supports pain recovery and restoration
CBD’s healing properties are key players when reducing pain from the daily stress of exercise throughout the body. When non-psychoactive cannabinoids are introduced, they bind to specific pain processing receptors found in our nervous system, therefore supporting performance and active pain recovery from daily activity or exercise.
Promotes daily stress relief and relaxation
Stress directly impacts how our nervous system operates, which is why regulating stress levels should be an everyday priority. We may recognize the physical remnants from a stressful day, but we often overlook how this stress manifests in our bodies – or how long this stress lingers. Elevated stress levels can slow down or even stall the body’s natural systems, inhibiting the body’s compulsion to healthily restore and balance.
Improves sense of calm and focus
While cannabinoids like CBD do not play a role in physically increasing serotonin levels, they can
improve how your body receives serotonin naturally, creating a healthy environment for these mood-boosting chemicals to thrive. Healthy levels of serotonin support emotional regulation, allowing for easeful thinking and focus.
Aids a healthy regulation of appetite and sleep cycle
THC, a cannabis component widely known for its appetite-stimulating effects, triggers the part of our brain that controls hunger. These elevating dopamine and growth hormone properties evoke hunger amongst users.
On the other hand, CBD interacts with our body and appetite quite differently. Combined with calming the nervous system, CBD can relieve nausea, encouraging a healthy appetite. Similarly, a decrease in stress and discomfort can work towards regular, sound sleep.
Encourages homeostasis within the body
Achieving homeostasis means your body’s internal systems are operating seamlessly and fluid with one another, creating an internal balance. The healing properties of CBD such as reduction of pain and support of serotonin receptibility work together to promote this long-sought-after balance. Green Compass strives to teach you how to incorporate clean hemp products into your everyday life to support a healthy system.
The healing properties of CBD are often intertwined and multi-applicable to reap the full benefits of this ancient plant. As a community, Green Compass strives to inform and advocate for uninhibited access to the pure hemp we love and grow, ensuring every aspect of our products is clean and in alignment with our purpose – to provide 100% organic hemp products that are safe for you.

Thus, cannabis represents a potential option as part of a multimodal pain treatment plan, as several plant components have demonstrated analgesic properties.”
