What is Immunity?We stay exposed to several infections and disease-causing organisms (viruses, bacteria, etc.) every day, which can eventually result in our death if we did not have the immune system. Our immune system keeps these infections and diseases under control by using the white blood cells which protect the body cells from the invasion.White blood cells are of two types, phagocytes, and lymphocytes. Phagocytes are cells that engulf and destroy the foreign particles before they can invade the body cells. Lymphocytes, broadly known as T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes, destroy the antigens. It also allows the body to remember the antigen to allow a faster immune response in case of a second infection.2. The Endocannabinoid SystemThe CBD oil for immunity plays a role in health care by affecting the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system was discovered very recently. So we know very little about it, but it is responsible for establishing as well as maintaining the homeostasis among various systems of the body. The body is required to modulate cell functioning, which includes the cells in the immune system and produces Endocannabinoids.3. Why Use CBD Oil for Immunity
