CBD LUXE

CBD-rich oil extracts and other CBD-infused products are poised to play a more prominent role in the burgeoning medical cannabis/hemp industry, as providers and product-makers increasingly cater to a broad constituency in an effort to attract new clientele.

What Is CBD?

Cannabidiol or CBD is a non-psychotropic cannabinoid compound with enormous therapeutic potential. 

Cannabinoids are chemicals that trigger the cannabinoid (and other) receptors in the brain and body. In addition to phytocannabinoids produced by the plant, there are endogenous cannabinoids that occur naturally in the body, as well as synthetic cannabinoids created by pharmaceutical researchers.

CBD has strong anti-oxidant, antiinflammatory, anti-spasm, anti-convulsant, anti-tumoral, and neuro-protective properties. CBD directly activates serotonin receptors, causing an antidepressant effect, as well. Scientific and clinical studies have shown that CBD could be therapeutic for many conditions, including chronic pain, cancer, anxiety, diabetes, epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis, PTSD, sleep disorders, addiction, cardiovascular disease, antibiotic-resistant infections, and neurological ailments.

CBD products come in different forms with a wide range of potencies. Many include THC (legal hemp-derived products contain less than 0.3% THC).; others are THC-free. Some people do well on tiny amounts of CBD, while others do better on higher doses. People take CBD for different reasons: To prevent illness and promote wellness. To ease symptoms and/or to cure disease. A low dose may help as a preventive measure, but higher doses may be necessary to slow or stop disease progression. Several factors influence how you will respond to CBD and what dosage is optimal for you.

Your genetics and lifestyle will impact how you experience CBD. If you metabolize CBDslowly, its effects may last longer. If you’re a fast metabolizer, you may need a larger dose. Read more…

Cannabis/Hemp oil extracts can be taken orally, sublingually, or applied topically. Concentrated extracts can also be utilized as an ingredient to vaporize or cook with. Some oils come with an applicator for measured dosing. These oils can be very potent. The time of onset and duration of effect vary depending on the method of administration.

There are endless options when it comes to CBD products available on the market today, in stores and online. So you might be asking yourself what is the difference between a high-quality product and a not so high quality product? Well here is what you want to look for. CBD products are made with either CBD isolate, full or broad-spectrum oil.

Any reputable CBD producer will follow these main rules of thumb. The first and most important is that the products are third-party lab tested, labeled, and sealed. This is done in order to provide consumers with an unbiased analysis of the products. 

This type of testing analyzes the purity and potency, and the quality of a CBD sample. Testing is necessary for CBD companies because currently, the space remains somewhat unregulated, as it does not contain THC. This is the exact reason why ethical manufacturers come out of pocket to have an independent lab perform fair tests on each batch of products that the manufacturer produces. Links to the lab results are displayed on each batch so the consumer knows exactly what they are getting and it shows the strong integrity of the company and its products since this type of testing is not legally required on a national level required. 

What exactly are manufacturers testing for?

Quality manufacturers should be testing for purity, potency, and quality. Here is exactly what they are testing for:

• Cannabinoid profiles and concentration
• Terpenten profile
• Heavy Metals
• Organic solvents
• Biological Contaminants, like mold, fungus, bugs, or bad bacteria.

CBD is a natural substance found in hemp. It is distinguished from cannabis by having non-intoxicating capabilities to reduce pain, inflammation, stress, sleeplessness, migraines, depression, and the list goes on. Because there is no tetrahydrocannabinol in CBD you get no psychoactive or intoxicating side effects. This is why people are raving about CBD. It is why many doctors are recommending it to people who suffer from some really difficult things to deal with. For example, having an addiction or the stress of ever having a seizure. You don’t have to have a serious ailment in order to benefit from CBD. Many people use it as a part of a daily routine to bolster their overall wellness. 

Many athletes use CBD to aid in recovering from muscle damage, or fatigue. CBD has anti-inflammatory, & antioxidative properties that help promote recovery from sport-related or exercise-generated fatigue. In 2018 the World Anti-Doping Agency removed CBD from the list of prohibited substances. That event gave people a very strong indication that this substance is safe and has non-toxic effects. CBD has been very common in contact sports. A few examples of professional athletes who support CBD health include Derrick Morgan, an NFL Linebacker for the Tennessee Titans, Eugene Monro, a former offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens, and Yair Rodriguez, a UFC fighter. The list doesn’t just include contact sports though. Athletes like olympian bobsledder Lolo Jones, and Gabby Douglas who is an Olympian gymnast both openly support CBD health.

If you have been thinking about becoming a regular hemp user, but don’t know where to start, we don’t blame you.  CBD sure does sound appealing, with its many potential uses, but the industry can be a bit, well, intimidating.  After all, there are so many different kinds of products out there, varying in terms of delivery method, formula, strength and so on.

Well, if you’re ready to take the leap and start making hemp part of your daily routine, allow us to help.

CBD Lifestyle Routines

Before we get into the various CBD uses below, first we want to make sure that you know how to make sure that you have the best CBD for the job.  In an industry that is still new, it’s easy to come across lots of subpar products with big promises and fancy labels.  Always look for a company with a good reputation, and that provides lab reports from a third-party testing facility on their website.
Also, we always recommend using CBD daily, since this supports the body’s endocannabinoid system which utilizes hemp cannabinoids to regulate important bodily processes and systems.  And, finally, make sure to choose a milligram strength that reflects your specific needs.  Many people who say that CBD doesn’t “work” simply weren’t taking the right concentration for their particular body. ➤ Read More

CBD has been found by many to be a soothing compound, one which can provide a great deal of relief for pain, inflammation, and a variety of other aches and pains. More research is currently in progress on CBD’s various benefits, but it does seem apparent that the drug has the potential to greatly help people who are in pain. Side effects are possible (particularly for people who suffer from certain liver conditions, Parkinson’s Disease, or women who are pregnant or nursing), but by and large, CBD has been found by users to cause relatively few problems.

However, since CBD was only recently legalized for sale, there is a great deal of confusion about what it is and isn’t. Consumers have to use caution when using this product, particularly given the relative lack of governmental regulations around it

Suddenly it seems like CBD oil is everywhere and being recommended for everything. But as with most new products that experience a seemingly “overnight” success, CBD oil itself is not anything new.

According to historical accounts, CBD in one form or another has been in existence and in use since – wait for it – as early as 2737 B.C.

What is new is the mainstream popularity and acceptance of CBD oil, and not just for people, either. CBD oil for pets is now offering companion animals and their people a newer, potentially safer and healthier alternative to many mainstream medications, some of which can have worrisome side effects.
