CBD (short for cannabidiol) is an organic compound found in hemp and cannabis plants. It is called a cannabinoid because it is unique to these plants, but it is in a class of common compounds produced by all plants, called terpenes. Terpenes are the natural oils that give plants their aroma, flavor, and color. CBD is unique among terpenes because of its ability to connect with over 65 cellular receptors in your body.

However, when CBD is combined with particular terpenes found in other essential oils, its benefits are enhanced. It is wiser to combine CBD and terpenes in a targeted approach to healing specific health conditions, rather using CBD alone, without additional terpenes from essential oils. This increased effectiveness of CBD when it is combined with additional terpenes (along with the natural flavonoids and cannabinoids of the plant) is called the Entourage Effect.

At Mission Farms CBD, we not only use full-spectrum CBD distillate that contains the natural terpenes, flavanoids, and cannabinoids of the hemp plant. We enhance it with additional terpenes from essential oils.
