Now that we know the difference between CBD and THC let’s talk about some of the ways CBD can help you. For those that are still unsure about the difference between THC and CBD click here. In late 2015 the FDA loosened regulations on CBD which allowed researchers the ability to do clinical trials with CBD. While the research is still in the early stages, we are finding out that CBD can be beneficial to many common aliments.
INSOMNIA
Insomnia is something many people struggle with. Did you know that using CBD can help you get a restful night’s sleep? In 2014 research detected improved symptoms of a REM sleep disorder while using CBD. CBD has also shown to improve the quality of sleep and shows little to no side effects.
How can you take CBD for Insomnia? We have a few different forms of CBD that would work well for those who suffer from insomnia. Our Cell Code Unflavored Premium Hemp Oil is a favorite. It is a tincture that can be used by placing a dropper full under your tongue, or you can add it your food or beverage. Tinctures are often faster acting then other methods and can usually start working in as little as 15 minutes. Our Premium Hemp Oil is a broad spectrum, which means you get all the good things from the Hemp plant without any THC in it.
CHRONIC PAIN
Another aliment for many people is chronic pain. A study conducted in 2018 found that there is a tremendous amount of scientific evidence that indicates that cannabinoids may produce pain-relieving effects due to inflammation. CBD is also useful for chronic pain because it is not misused or abused like some other pain treatments. CBD has shown benefits for reliving pain due to arthritis, migraine, cancer and neuropathic pain.
How can you use CBD to treat these ailments? We have a few ways for you to treat your aliments. I already mentioned our tinctures, which you could also use for pain. Our Premium Hemp Cream and Premium Hemp Sport Cream are great for topical use. Those would best be used for inflammation of the skin or that pesky knee that you seem to always re-injure.
ANXIETY
Did you know there were multiple types of anxiety? There are quite a few; generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder are just a few of them. Preclinical evidence shows great potential for CBD as an anxiety treatment, as it can treat a wide range of symptoms associated with different forms of anxiety. What products would you use to treat anxiety? Our tincture could be utilized to help alleviate those symptoms that arise without warning. We also have Premium Hemp Gummies that have 11.1 mg of Hemp per gummy. For those of you not interested in gummies, we have a Hemp soft gel. Our soft gel uses a unique VESIsorb system that allows enhanced absorption. One thing to note is that when taking either the gummy or soft gel, it may take a while longer before you start to feel the effects. You should wait 1-2 hours before taking another dose.
