The hype surrounding CBD, one of over 100 chemical compounds known as cannabinoids found in the cannabis or marijuana plant, has exploded in recent years.
In fact, the global CBD oil market is estimated to reach around $3.5 billion by 2027.
But the benefits of CBD are nothing new for many cultures around the world, especially in Eastern medicine.
In this episode, Brains Byte Back co-host Mags Tanev explores the benefits, uses, and history of CBD. She is joined by Dr. Jenelle Kim, the founder and formulator for JBK Wellness Labs.
Dr. Kim is an expert in East Asian ancient medicine, she completed a doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine and has been working to preserve the medical history of her family lineage while also training with leading doctors and herbologists.
