What is it-

CBD (Cannabidiol) is a compound that has shown promise in a variety of medical applications, from pain relief to relieving anxiety, and many other ailments in between. A major benefit to CBD is that it doesn’t contain THC, which is the compound that makes users high, so this makes CBD an ideal medication for even children and animals.

 

Where it comes from-

CBD is extracted from a hemp plant and then isolated through a distillation process.

 

Side Effects-

NONE. CBD is non-psychoactive. Because it’s a natural extract, there are few, if any, side effects. The extract works with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is the system’s method of regulating processes, like pain, mood, appetite, and memory. CBD works with the natural system rather than being an unnatural substance, so the body doesn’t try to reject it. This is why it has powerful medical benefits. It binds to your bodies cells to create “super cells”.

 

Why was is it illegal for so long-

Because we can grow it and make products right at home. There is no profit to be made here for pharmaceutical companies. Some of the conditions for which CBD is most commonly prescribed include: Chronic pain, nerve pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, sleep disorders, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Tourette’s syndrome, glaucoma, epilepsy, and seizures. If doctors start regularly prescribing medical CBD for all of these conditions rather than conventional drugs, big pharma is likely to take a very big hit.

 

Why Should I Take it-

CBD Oil is an amazing preventative medicine- a medicine that you take to prevent yourself from getting sick or ill, instead of having to take medicine after you're already sick. Here are some bullet form benefits of taking CBD Oil:

• Brain function and health

• Protects the brain from stress

• Helps to neutralize mood disorders

• Reduces frequency and intensity of migraines

• Slows the progression of some neurological diseases (Studies have shown that CBD is a powerful antioxidant. It can positively affect brain function by reducing an issue known as glutamate toxicity. Glutamate is a neurotransmitter that instructs the brain’s nerve cells to fire, which can cause them to become stimulated to the point of damage or cell death. CBD drastically cuts down on the level of incurred cell loss. In addition to protecting the brain’s nerve cells from glutamate, cannabis also promotes the regeneration and creation of new nerve cells. This makes it an especially valuable asset for those at risk for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s or multiple sclerosis).

• Cancer prevention (CBD has the ability to prevent the growth of malignant cells before they even begin to develop)

• Fights age related degenerative issues (Cannabis prevents the buildup of plaque –known as beta-amyloid plaque – on the brain that can lead to these devastating diseases)

• Prevents bone decay (helps to keep bones strong and healthy)

• Fights Inflammation (A study from the American Journal of Psychology found that CBD is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and can reduce the symptoms of atherosclerosis (plaque build up in the arteries) – another leading cause of strokes)

• Aids frequent allergies and/or asthma

• Helps skin irritation or rashes

• Helps with pain that won’t seem to go away

• High blood pressure and/or glucose levels

• Digestive aide with like diarrhea, IBS, or ulcers

• Helps chronic fatigue

• Promotes skin health (When applied topically, hemp is an especially powerful remedy due to fact that our skin is jam-packed with CB2 receptors. These cannabinoid receptors are widely associated with a healthy immune system. Hemp can be used as a lotion, salve, or balm to soothe sore joints and reduce inflammation without any psychoactive side effects. The antioxidant powers of hemp can help prevent deadly skin cancers like melanoma. It also has the ability to reverse damage caused by free radicals like UV rays and environmental pollutants, and can aid the healing process of many dermatology problems)

• Reduced risk of obesity and diabetes

• Anxiety relief (According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 15 million adults in the United States have social phobia and about 6.8 million have a generalized anxiety disorder. Traditional treatment usually involves counselling and medications. Treatment with CBD may be better than anti-depressants because it acts quickly and does not cause side effects or withdrawal symptoms)

• Anti-psychotic

• Stress relief (Preclinical studies show CBD has numerous cardiovascular benefits, including a reduced blood pressure response to stress. Researchers found that even a single dose of CBD could lower your blood pressure)

 

Paige's Personal Use-

I can't recommend it enough. CBD benefits are endless. So far the oil has most noticeably helped with my anxiety (calming my mind, and helping me to slow down to better my problem solving skills). The bath bombs have completely taken the pain out of my back after usage and caused me to have amazing and deep rest.

 

 

 

Acquaintance Testimonials-

-One of my good friends in Fredericton has a hemp products company and a customer came to her looking to cure her son's epilepsy so they started applying a hemp cream topically and it cured him. He had been on 8 different medications and he was able to come off of all medications, only uses the cream, and has had no seizures since the day he started taking it

 

-An acquaintance had cancer and was told to go on chemo therapy and radiation, and he declined that and told the doctor that he wanted an alternative remedy with CBD. So he started ingesting CBD oil and cured his cancer completely and has had no issues since

 

-An acquaintance who purchased some of the CBD bath bombs had a major spinal surgery a few years ago and she was prescribed a list of 8 different medications (some of them including major pain killers like opiates and morphine), declined to take those medications. She has used cannabis to help with the pain and recovery. Then she found out we had CBD bath bombs, and bought the same brand, and used one, after 30 minutes of being in the bath, she felt no back pain for the first time in years.
