CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is a non-intoxicating substance that's naturally found in hemp and cannabis plants. This miraculous cannabinoid has become popular for its therapeutic benefits, treatment of pain, and as a natural remedy that can help with a large variety of health conditions. Thanks to recent legalization efforts, large-scale hemp farming in the US, and a ton of research that documents the benefits of CBD usage, it has become a widely accepted natural treatment for many health issues.

CBD can be used for a wide variety of ailments and health issues. Our topical formulas are designed to be applied directly on the skin for targeted relief. They are meant to address specific areas of discomfort, making them a great option for anyone dealing with localized pain, soreness, inflammation, or skin related issues. Unlike ingestible CBD products, topicals allow you to focus on the exact spot that’s giving you trouble for more precise relief. Our tinctures are designed to be digested, and provide a broader level of relief. They are more beneficial for larger, therapeutic level doses of CBD. Some of the specific conditions that CBD can help with: Anxiety: CBD can help reduce symptoms of anxiety related disorders. Studies have shown reduced anxiety and panic attacks associated with social anxiety, public speaking, PTSD, obsessive compulsion disorder, depression, and other issues that prompt anxiousness. Pain & Inflammation: Two of the most common uses for CBD are to reduce pain and inflammation in the body, which many people usually experience simultaneously. CBD interacts with pain receptors in the body, directly minimizing pain. It also reduces inflammation throughout the body, which naturally relieves pain. When applied topically, it has a more focused effect on the area where pain is being experienced (i.e., on the skin, underlying muscles, or joints and connective tissues). Seizures: Many studies have shown that high oral doses of CBD are effective in treating seizures associated with epilepsy. It has been found that it can help reduce neuron excitability, thus reducing the frequency or occurrence of seizures similarly to other anti-epileptic medications. In 2020, the FDA approved a CBD based extract drug for prescription use related to seizures. Skin Issues: Studies have shown that CBD can reduce the inflammation and itching associated with Eczema, may slow down the rapid skin growth and amount of flaking caused by Psoriasis, and decrease the growth of melanoma and non-melanoma related skin cancers. More research is needed in this particular area but initial studies are promising. Traumatic Brain Injuries: Studies show that CBD has neuroprotective properties that help to reduce brain inflammation and oxidative stress, supports cognitive function by regulating brain activity, and helps protect against secondary injury processes in the brain. Other Medical Conditions CBD has been shown to help with many other medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s, arthritis, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, autism, fibromyalgia, diabetes, acne, obesity, Parkinson’s, various soft tissue injuries, and much more. Other benefits of CBD usage include: Balanced energy Improved mood Reduced nausea Relaxation and calmness Sleep aid and insomnia treatment

The short answer is that CBD reduces pain and inflammation in the body, helps maintain balance, and restores cellular function. The longer answer is, we all have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our bodies that is responsible for regulating the balance of nearly everything that goes on in the body. The ECS is made up of CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are primarily found in the brain and central nervous system. CB1 activation controls physiological functions like sleep, appetite, vomiting, mood, pain perception, and memory. CB2 receptor are primarily found in the peripheral organs and immune system. CB2 activation controls inflammation throughout the body, skin tissue, and the immune system. When consumed, CBD can bind to different types of receptors in the body to produce therapeutic effects. When applied topically, CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the skin to help reduce discomfort and ease inflammation right where it’s applied. CBD’s primary benefit is it's ability to control and reduce pain (acute, chronic, even neuropathic pain).

It’s important to note that CBD dosing is very individualized, and will vary from person to person. The ideal dose depends on a person’s body weight, composition, metabolism, tolerance, prior usage, experience, and the specific conditions that they are treating. Traditionally, most companies have recommended fairly low doses, ranging anywhere from 5-20 mg per serving. Lower level doses of CBD will most likely NOT achieve the desired results that you are looking for. However, if you are new to CBD, it's best to start with a low dosage and gradually increase until you find the optimal dose for your needs. This approach allows you to assess how your body will respond to CBD without overwhelming your system. Recent studies have shown that a higher dose of 100-200+ mg of CBD per day is the most effective. If you are looking for a more therapeutic level dose, the general rule of thumb is a range of 3-5mg of CBD, per kilogram of body weight, per day. Using this example for average size adults, this would range anywhere from 120-250+ mg of CBD for a 100-125 pound woman, and 250-400+ mg of CBD for a 175-200 pound man, per day. Typically the doses are broken up throughout the day to address any specific pain or other health related issues, as needed. This also helps to achieve a more cumulative effect, and avoid any potential adverse effects like GI irritation that might occur if too much carrier oil such as coconut oil or MCT oil were consumed in a single serving. Results will vary with each individual, so you will likely need to experiment to see what works best for you, and adjust as needed. If there are any questions or concerns, you should consult with a healthcare professional before starting a regimen of CBD, replacing or intermixing with your current prescription, or altering your supplementation routine. If you are applying CBD topically, the dosage is often considered to be fairly safe and well tolerated as it's not being absorbed directly into the bloodstream, and is usually administered at much lower doses than when consumed orally.

We use ultra-refined, hemp derived CBD Isolate in our products which is the purest form of Cannabidiol on the market. Unlike CBD distillate and full-spectrum extracts, our CBD isolate contains no plant lipids, waxes, THC, or impurities, just pure CBD. The extraction and isolation processes used ensures 99+% purity. Some people may prefer to take a broad spectrum based CBD product, but those often contain larger variations of cannabinoids, higher percentages of THC, and other unwanted biproducts. We prefer to use a cleaner and more targeted form of CBD which is why we use reliably sourced CBD distillate.

All products are made by hand, in limited size batches. We typically follow a product drop/release schedule, that can vary each month. If you are interested in purchasing a product that is out of stock, sign up for restock notification so you will be notified when it is back in stock. You can also reach out using our contact form to request or check on the status of a product. We may occasionally have additional products available that aren't shown on the website, can occasionally make products based on special requests, or at the very least let you know when they will be back in stock.
