I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving, and have kept your gratitude list going. Now, the holiday stress is coming…are you ready? The fancy clothes parties, the shopping, eating and drinking, and spending more money than you have can throw you out of balance. Lucky for you, you’ve learned from Holistic Caring that your ECS, or endocannabinoid system can be tweaked to bring you back into balance, or homeostasis. That’s the entire goal of the ECS – to keep making those adjustments at the cellular level to optimize how you feel.
CBD works to boost your own cannabinoids to manage the fine tuning you need to feel great and handle the zigs and zags of life…like the holiday season. People need the down shifting of anxiety and improved sleep that CBD can aid by activating serotonin pathways. Full spectrum CBD oils have other cannabinoids and terpenes that serve as natural antidepressants.
Working in psychiatry I saw thousands of people taking pharmaceuticals suffer from side effects like weight gain, insomnia, headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and loss of libido. Experience taught me to ask if there wasn’t a better way to address the root cause without that collateral damage. Plants can do this.
Modern life puts us in that fight or flight mode without even knowing it, and that leads to inflammation. CBD is a potent anti-inflammatory, so it is able to reduce the inflammation caused by stress, or excess. To me it’s like an insurance policy for wellness…when I take my CBD consistently, I get some leeway on how much I can push myself in the ‘work hard, play hard’ motto. Is that needed for your December?
CBD is a becoming more available, though you still need to shop carefully to ensure you’re getting lab tested, full spectrum medicine, and not hemp oil without CBD. There’s medicine, and there’s hype, and we help you know the difference, so you don’t waste time or money.
