WHY Hemp?
Utilizing cannabis plants in topicals brings relief for severe chronic pain and inflammation as well as helps to soothe sore muscles and joints. Our body’s central nervous system contains the endocannabinoid system (ECS) made of cannabinoid receptors that regulate many physiological processes including pain awareness. Cannabinoids in topicals naturally interact with the ECS cannabinoid receptors and are beneficial for controlling level of pain and muscle discomfort when applied directly to problem areas.
WHY CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating active compound found in the cannabis/hemp plant. When applied to the skin in topicals, it interacts with receptors in our bodies to dissipate the acute pain that comes from inflammation, arthritis and many other sources. Topicals made with CBD infused oils not only provide localized pain relief and help with aching joints and muscles, but also provide soothing and skin moisturizing effects. CBD topicals are great for sensitive and extra dry skin.
Why CBG?
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid similar to CBD. It is becoming more popular, but still quite costly since only small quantity of CBG occurs in cannabis plants and needs to be carefully cultivated. It has powerful neuroprotective abilities that protect nerves cells against damage and deterioration. It is believed that utilizing both CBG and CBD in herbal formulations intensifies the benefits and make them more effective.
