We're Celebrating CBD All Month Long in January

January is a great time for renewal after the celebrating the holidays, saying goodbye to the old and hello to a brand new year.  It makes sense that the first month of the year was chosen to celebrate National CBD Month, highlight the wellness benefits of the naturally occurring hemp extract, and explore CBD's potential to help you improve your overall health. 

​

It's a Great Time to Get Back to Basics and Try Our Full Spectrum CBD

​

  • The core properties of CBD are:

  • Pain calming

  • Inflammation reducing

  • Anxiety management

  • Anti-bacterial properties

  • Antioxidant properties

  • Help with depression, PTSD and mood disorders

  • Non-intoxicating

  • Effective as an ingestible or topical product

January Doesn't Have to be "Dry"

January is the month that many people designate as "dry" as they take a post-holiday break from alcoholic beverages. Medical professionals confirm multiple benefits come with abstaining from drinking alcohol for as little as 7 days, including better sleep, more clarity and focus, reduced anxiety and improved heart and liver health.  So, there is little doubt that taking a break or cutting down on your consumption of cocktails can help elevate your overall wellness.

​

Consider Natural, Non Habit Forming Options for Better Health

Full spectrum hemp extracts like CBD, CBC, CBG and CBN may help you coast through Dry January (warning: you may never go back!) These naturally occurring cannabinoids won't make you feel high or intoxicated but they can help take the edge off, improve mood, help you manage stress and anxiety and offer you a better night's sleep than your usual nightcap.

Don't Be SAD - Get Help for Seasonal Affective Disorder

Joy and pain.  Holidays can be happy and sad.  For many, the holidays conjure up memories of good times with family and friends.  But for others, they can trigger feelings of loneliness and loss. 

 

An estimated 5% of people in the world suffer from depression according to the World Health Organization. This represents 280 million people worldwide. Depression, anxiety and other mood disorders affect a person's ability to function, leading to challenges in all aspects of everyday life including work, school, community and at home with family and friends. The added pressure of the holiday season can exacerbate these already challenging conditions BUT there are ways to help improve the experience

​

Explore Natural Wellness Solutions

Studies show cannabichrome or CBC, a rare but naturally occurring product of the hemp plant, exerts significant antidepressant-like actions. Unlike typical depression or anxiety medications, CBC does not typically cause feelings of dullness or drowsiness.  To the contrary, CBC has been shown to also have potential improve clarity, focus and memory.

​

  • Remember, real life is a lot more complicated than a well planned social media campaign.  Try not to compare your life to what expert social media influencers decide to show you.

  • Don't be afraid to decline invitations to spend time with people or in an environment that makes you uncomfortable or unhappy. Sure, you'll be missed but they'll get over it.

  • Schedule time for yourself and try not to totally abandon your self-care routine during the hectic holiday season. At the very least, spend time outside, take walks in nature and limit sugar laden processed foods.

  • Family drama and family relationships are one of the top stressors for people during this time of year. If it's happening in your family, know that your are not alone.

  • Don't be afraid or ashamed to skip the whole thing. Spend Christmas and/or New Year's doing a project you enjoy or reading that book you've been meaning to get to. January 2nd will be here before you know it!

  • Last, but not least, if depression or anxiety doesn't abate after the holidays, seeking assistance from a mental health professional might be the next step.
