CBD Oil
“CBD oil has helped reduce my anxiety attacks, muscle soreness, cramping, and has been beneficial as a sleep aid. I don’t feel high, and within minutes and after only a small dose, I always feel a lot better!” – Amy from New York
By now, many of us have heard reviews, stories, and anecdotes from champions of CBD oil advocacy from many walks of life. The non-intoxicating cannabis constituent is known for greatly helping reduce anxiety and, in higher doses, acts as a sleep aid. Amy, who above provides insight into her journey with CBD use, was surprised and thrilled to finally access a natural anxiety-reducer and sleep aid, improving her sleep quality and daily function. She is certainly not alone in this experience.
CBD, short for Cannabidiol is the second most abundant compound in the cannabis plant and is heralded for its highly medicinal properties while lacking the psychotropic effects of THC. The sleep aid that Amy mentioned feeling from CBD is likely due to its anti-anxiety and calming effects which allow the user to drift off to sleep more easily. Statistically, American adults sleep only an average of 6.8 hours of per night, which is down an hour from statistics documented in 1942, as well as 1.2 hours less than the recommended time. With this being the norm, those moments of restful sleep and low-anxiety days are commonly difficult to catch and treasured when found. If you or someone close to you suffers from anxiety, inflammation, arthritis, stress, irritability, brain fog, chronic pain or depression, CBD might be able to help.
Though CBD is found in marijuana, the compound itself is not marijuana. It is important to know that this product is legal, has no intoxicating effects, is organic and natural, and is created from industrialized hemp (Cannabis sativa) containing <.3%THC. In fact, even if you do not specifically suffer from the symptoms listed above, CBD oil may be a great way to promote overall wellbeing through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and calming benefits. If you’re worried about the possible side effects of incorporating CBD oil into your daily regimen, fear not, as the side effects are rare and minor. Possibilities include nausea, sleeping issues, and irritability, as the compound has the potential to effect individuals differently.
One source of high quality CBD oil can be found distributed by Viridi Lx (viridilx.com) in collaboration with NYC/CBD, a company founded and run by NYC resident Jill Fagin. The company’s mission statement echoes the natural and beneficial effects of CBD oil in many aspects of a person’s wellbeing. They state that they are, “a collaborative project dedicated to empowering people to live healthy, happy, and active lives through the use of nutritional and therapeutic botanical oils.” Fagin, who founded the company after her own incredible success with CBD in her journey fighting cancer, affirms “As cancer patients committed to our health and survival, we consider the unadulterated nature of our ingredients of the utmost importance.” An entrepreneur, artist, jeweler, mother, and Cannabis advocate, Fagin stands by the deeply advantageous qualities of CBD oil, and seeks to make this option available to others who may similarly benefit.
Viridi Lx and NYC/CBD sell high quality, natural and organic CBD oil, which can be found on the shelves here at Stand Wellness in Watermill, NY.
The ability to lead a healthy and happy life free from chronic discomfort should be attainable to all, but pain, anxiety, depression, and inflammation often times hinder one’s ability to partake in daily tasks and activities, which in turn can compound the negative effects of the chronic issues. If this sounds like something you or a loved one experiences, CBD oil may aid in getting you on the path to a focused, healthy, pain-free, balanced, and calmer daily life.
