What is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant. It is not intoxicating. Instead, it interacts with systems in the body that help modulate various physiological processes, such as pain perception, sleep, and mood.

Many people use CBD as part of a daily routine to support overall comfort and wellbeing.

How CBD May Help

CBD supports the body’s natural systems that help regulate responses to discomfort, stress and rest.

  • Pain management
  • Anxiety or stress
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Treatment-related restlessness or tension

All products are non-intoxicating and federally compliant.

What is CBN?

Cannabinol (CBN) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the hemp plant. Like CBD, it is non-intoxicating. Early research suggests that CBN plays a role in supporting the body’s natural sleep-wake rhythm.

While it is not a sedative and shouldn’t be treated as a sleep medication, many adults use CBN as part of their nighttime routine to help support a smoother transition into sleep and maintain restful sleep through the night.

What Does CBN Help With?

Emerging evidence indicates that CBN may support:

  • The body’s natural ability to stay asleep
  • A more consistent, predictable nighttime rhythm
  • Calmer evenings and an easier wind-down routine

Some individuals find CBN especially helpful when irregular sleep patterns, nighttime discomfort, or restlessness make it harder to stay asleep.

How Does CBD Work?

CBD works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system—a network that helps keep many functions in balance, including mood, sleep, stress response and how we perceive discomfort.

While CBD is not a treatment or cure for any medical condition, it helps support:

Seniors & Oncology Considerations

CBD offers supportive health benefits for seniors and individuals navigating cancer care, but certain factors make guidance especially important: 

  • More complex medication regimens: CBD can interact with common prescriptions, so coordination with a provider is essential. 
  • Sensitivity to dosing: Older adults may respond to smaller amounts — starting low and adjusting slowly is key. 
  • Sleep and appetite changes: CBD may help support relaxation and rest when symptoms or treatment disrupt daily rhythms. 
  • Emotional stress: Many seniors and oncology patients use CBD as part of an overall approach to managing anxiety or tension. 
  • Consistency matters: Using federally compliant, tested products reduces variability and supports safer use. 

CBD is not a treatment for cancer, but it may help support comfort and wellbeing when used thoughtfully and with provider input.
