how is hemp cleaning up after CHERNOBYL? ⁠

the chernobyl explosion meant radioactive waste was spewed across 100,000 square kilometres rendering much of it unusable as it was harmed by toxic metals leaching into the soil ⁠ ⁠

phytotech began experimenting with industrial hemp & discovered it can be used to clean up:⁠ metals, pesticides⁠, solvents, ⁠explosives⁠, crude oil and ⁠toxins ⁠ ⁠

 growing hemp around the abandoned chernobyl nuclear power plant dramatically reduced soil toxicity⁠ ⁠

although this hemp cannot be consumed it is used for biofuel ⁠ ⁠

it was once thought that chernobyl wouldn’t be habitable for 20,000 years but with hemp regenerating the land it will be much sooner!

cbd bath bombs

baths generally help with opening pores as most of us know ⁠ ⁠

however, cbd bath bombs absorb through your skin in a similar way to creams and balms which can moisturise the skin ⁠ ⁠

the cbd in bath bombs can also have a positive impact on sebocytes . these are cells that create sebum which can cause pimples ⁠ ⁠

after trying cbd bath bombs they did leave me feeling relaxed & my skin moisturised ⁠ ⁠

however, whether they worked better than a normal bath I’m not sure?

give them a try for yourself and see what you think

cbd and arthritis

people are turning to cbd to help with arthritis…here’s how it can help ⁠ ⁠

cbd itself is an anti-inflammatory by stimulating the endocannabinoid system ⁠ ⁠

this system plays an important role in the regulation of the immune system which is part of how the bodydeals with inflammation (which is the cause of the pain associated with arthritis)⁠ ⁠

cbg is also a powerful anti-inflammatory which is found in smaller quantities in the hemp flower⁠ ⁠

introducing cbg alongside cbd further increases the anti-inflammatory response in the body ⁠ ⁠

broad spectrum products contain the whole plant which includes: ⁠ •beta-caryophyllene & myrcene⁠, both of which support cbd in its anti-inflammatory action

is cbd bad for your liver?⁠

taking the correct, recommended dose of good quality CBD as part of a general wellness routine is unlikely to cause any side effects, & that includes liver damage. ⁠ ⁠

studies have even revealed cbd to improve brain & liver function because of the way it interacts with endocannabinoids to create anti-inflammatory & antioxidant effects.⁠ ⁠

as with any medication or supplement, if you take more than the recommended dose there are always possible consequences. ⁠ ⁠

as a consumer ensure that you:⁠ ⁠

1) buy from a reputable source with lab certified products to ensure you know what you’re getting ⁠ ⁠

2) make sure you are clear on the dose you are taking so you are not taking too little or too much for your needs

are cbd skincare products worth the hype?

a 2019 study revealed an improvement in inflammatory & skin symptoms was seen in patients who used cbd enriched ointment twice daily for 3 months.⁠ ⁠

a 2014 study found cbd has the potential to aid in suppression of acne breakouts by regulating oil production within the sebaceous glands.⁠ ⁠

cbd has anti-inflammatory & antibacterial effects. ⁠ ⁠

red acne is the result of inflammatory skin changes that cbd can successfully calm down.⁠ ⁠

there is still a need for further research to identify and investigate cbd’s full benefits for the skin. ⁠ ⁠

however, the current findings are extremely promising not only for acne & skin impurities but also for conditions such as psoriasis.⁠ ⁠

cbd & hangovers

you may have found yourself trying to wait out or sleep off a hangover one too many times. You may even have resorted to having another alcoholic beverage in a last-ditch attempt to cure your hangover⁠ ⁠

does cbd help ibs?…⁠

studies are extremely promising! ⁠ ⁠

a study by dr. ethan rosso explains that the endocannabinoid system regulates gut movement, digestion & gut inflammation & most importantly contains a powerful blocking mechanism which is able to relieve the pain response in ibs & ibd sufferers.

⁠ we produce endocannabinoids naturally…but cbd initiates & then amplifies this response in the body!

⁠ ⁠ another study found that cbd can prevent intestinal damage by reducing the inflammatory response. ⁠ ⁠

by regulating the inflammatory reaction, cbd helps to limit the damage caused by the body’s immune system as it tries to protect itself from the effects of irritable bowel syndrome and leaky gut.⁠ ⁠

cannabigerol (cbg) is another important cannabinoid usually found in smaller quantities in the plant – that shows promise in relieving ibs symptoms due to its anti-inflammatory properties. a 2013 study revealed cbg alone can reduce the effects of colitis, ibs and ibd. ⁠ ⁠

if you are suffering from any of these conditions, & are looking for a natural alternative maybe give cbd a try to see if it helps alleviate the symptoms.

cbd compared with antidepressants

when it comes to treating depression, cbd does appear to have some benefits over antidepressant medications.⁠ ⁠

most antidepressant medications can take weeks to build up in your system before they start working. cbd starts to work almost immediately at the right dose.

⁠ cbd may also result in fewer side effects than antidepressant medication. insomnia, sexual dysfunction, mood swings, & agitation are common side effects of antidepressants. cbd has not shown similar issues.⁠ ⁠

a 2017 review from the World Health Organization concluded that cbd is generally safe with only mild potential side effects.⁠ ⁠

cbd can however interact with some antidepressant medication so always speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting cbd⁠ ⁠

while cbd may offer some benefits over antidepressant medications, it isn’t a replacement. never stop taking prescribed medication, especially antidepressants, without talking to your doctor first.⁠ ⁠

abruptly stopping medication that’s been prescribed to you can cause serious side effects. If you want to stop taking medication, work with your doctor to come up with a plan for gradually decreasing your dosage.⁠
