From ancient rituals to modern wellness routines, the story of CBD oil is a rich tapestry of discovery, healing, and innovation. As interest in plant-based health surges, understanding the historical roots and scientific evolution of CBD offers deeper appreciation—and smarter choices. Join us as we trace the fascinating journey of CBD oil and how The Trusted Lab continues to honor that legacy through clean, powerful formulations.
The Early Roots: Hemp in Ancient Civilizations
Long before the term “CBD” was coined, hemp and cannabis played vital roles in traditional medicine across the globe. Ancient texts reveal:
- China (2700 BCE): Emperor Shen Nung’s pharmacopeia described hemp for pain relief and inflammation
- India: Cannabis featured prominently in Ayurvedic practices for anxiety and digestion
- Middle East & Egypt: Used topically for wounds and orally for calming effects
Though early societies didn’t isolate cannabinoids like we do today, they understood hemp’s powerful therapeutic nature.
The Discovery of Cannabidiol (CBD)
Fast forward to the 20th century: In 1940, chemist Roger Adams successfully isolated cannabidiol (CBD) from hemp. But it wasn’t until the 1990s—after the discovery of the body’s endocannabinoid system—that the profound role of CBD came into focus.
What Makes CBD Unique?
CBD interacts with the body’s internal systems to promote balance without the intoxicating effects of THC. It is now widely studied for:
- Stress and anxiety support
- Inflammation and joint relief
- Sleep regulation

The Modern CBD Movement
The passage of the 2018 Farm Bill opened the floodgates for hemp-derived CBD across the United States—legalizing its cultivation and distribution federally. This pivotal shift sparked:
- Innovations in CBD extraction (CO2, ethanol, nano-emulsion)
- A booming natural wellness industry
- Increased consumer demand for clean, tested, THC-free options
