If you are like me then you too wouldn’t have believed that your health and ailment issues could be tended to without the chemical-rich medicines we know of today in the modern world, but rather with a chic yet humble plant that is naturally found in nature.
We understand that herbs and edible flowers grow all around the world and are used in traditional and some medicinal products, but are they simply a stepping stone to using the generic creams and syrups in the end or are they a mental enabler to try a mind over matter situation when thinking of our discomfort?
Both opinions may ring true, but for me, I was tired of taking pain tablets on what soon became a daily basis with my morning cup of tea and I knew that something had to change. I began looking into alternative medicines, dietary tweaks I could implement (hoping perhaps I was simply deficient in a necessary vitamin or mineral), and anything that came from Mother Nature. I did not come up empty-handed.
The Benefits Of CBD Oil
Life Changes.
We all know that the medical industry is constantly evolving, new extremes and products being thought of daily by industry professionals, but this comes with a price. Chemicals and ingredients are combined in hundreds of different combinations to create the perfect ‘antidote’ for illnesses, but are we ever told if these have side-effects in the long run?
For me and my family, I was not willing to take the risks and when I found an organic option I felt blessed, that Mother Nature knows best and has given us this ingredient to living a better quality of life.
This plant – CBD – which comes from the Cannabis Sativa family tree (read about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_sativa ) has aided people in pain, stressful situations, and inflammation for centuries and is becoming increasingly popular in today’s times as more people are aware of their health.
What appealed to me was that CBD can be added to your diet and lifestyle without drastic alterations yet the benefits are astounding, which I soon came to experience. Waking up with a pounding headache was a thing of the past, my back didn’t ache as I got out of bed, and the morning joint and muscle stiffness that I had become accustomed to felt like a distant memory.
I felt my body change within a few weeks, part of it may have been mental, but that too helped me carry on. My mood and morale felt better, I could tackle the day and tasks with what felt like a renewed energy, and simply because CBD was naturally grown without the use of pesticides and toxins that can affect the optimal working s of the body.
Life was for once ‘being lived,’ not just a routine you follow trying to make it to the weekend. I enjoyed playing and running around the garden with the kids and dog, no longer needing to sit on the sidelines and watch due to swollen and inflamed knees or hurting ankles.
My husband immediately noticed a difference and got on board without any convincing. I guess the old saying rings true, ‘the proof is in the pudding,’ am I right?
A basic breakdown.
Now that I have piqued your interest and before deciding for yourself you are wanting to learn more but don’t have the time to sit for hours on a computer doing research as much as you’d like to, so let’s take a look at a few key factors that can explain what CBD is and how it affects your life, for the better.
- Marijuana. Yes, CBD does come from the marijuana plant but 2 components make up this plant, CBD and THC. When used together you get the euphoric and high feeling that consumers use for recreational use, for health advantages the CBD is extracted and used in a variety of products such as oils, edibles, and supplements.
- Extraction. CBD can be extracted from the plant in various ways, but what is known to be the most efficient is using CO2, although this process may take longer the result is a product with the least amount of sediment at the end.
Sure there is a long list of opinions and descriptions when it comes to CBD, and each to their own as my granny used to say, but to see a clearer and more defined explanation take a moment to read this article on exactly what is cbd? Not only can you browse options available on the market but tailor them to your needs and lifestyle demographic.
- Positives. The genetic makeup of CBD works harmoniously in the body and with the neuro system of the brain, it helps manage and maintain the regular pulses sent from the brain to the body for optimal functioning. There is no buildup and sudden outbursts of pulses thus resulting in fewer episodes and seizures in persons with epilepsy.
Health benefits.
As mentioned the perks of CBD far outweigh any concerns you may have, as did I initially, but after trying all other methods and medicines with no luck, my life will forever include Cannabidiol.
It is great for all age groups as well as animals, see more on that in this link, but CBD can offer you the quality of life you deserve. Knowing it contains no input preservatives, flavourings, or additives is in itself reason enough to try it. What have you got to lose? Live the life you were always meant to with CBD.
