CBD/Full Spectrum Benefits


Both CBD and Full Spectrum are chemically very similar but act extremely differently in the body. They have distinct healing properties. CBD is best known for its anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory and anti-epileptic effects, while Full Spectrum is mostly used to help with nausea, chronic pain and muscle relaxation or spasms.  Full Spectrum has gained significant popularity for recreational use.
