SESSION TOPIC:
CBD and Receptor Promiscuity: No Slut Shaming Here
What do all these receptors actually do, and why is this important?
CBD interacts with numerous receptors throughout the human body, including the CB, TRPV, serotonin, and PPAR receptors. Understanding how CBD interacts with these receptors and what happens next creates a deeper understanding of the potential therapeutic applications of this remarkable cannabinoid. We will be taking a deep dive into the hows and whys of these different receptors as well as the myriad uses of CBD.
The objective is to gain understanding of the activities of different receptors that interact with CBD, which will enhance nurse-patient/nurse-community communication of therapeutic benefits.
