There's never been a shortage of reasons to feel anxious, especially over the past few years.
Now with the holidays around the corner, many are likely seeking options to help them feel more relaxed and rested and promote an overall better sense of well-being to enjoy the festivities properly. Not to mention, you might be ramping up (or starting) an exercise program in the New Year, and your sore muscles, no doubt, will be calling.
Ever since the Canadian Government legalized hemp and marijuana for recreational use in October 2018, CBD (Cannabidiol) products have gained a lot of traction in the health and wellness space, with many proposed positive effects for holistic well-being. However, there's a lot of information to digest—and not all of it is accurate.
If you're interested in learning more about the properties of CBD and its effects, it's crucial to ensure you seek out relevant and reliable context and information to make the best, most informed decision for you and your body. After all, no two bodies are 100% alike, and what may impact one a certain way could have completely different effects on another.
Plant of Life carries top-of-the-line products and offers resources with evidence-based third-party lab reports to ensure product efficacy and transparency to show their products meet the highest quality standards and safety measures for consumers.
"Nowadays, people really rush into buying things, either because of great marketing or they're following trends," says James Kim, marketing manager, Plant of Life. "However, when it comes to health and wellness like our current campaign suggests, you should #slowdownwellness and source as much information as you can before ingesting something into your body."
According to Plant of Life, unlike THC (the psychoactive cannabinoid present in marijuana), CBD won't cause you to become intoxicated. Instead, they suggest that CBD's primary function is to encourage a sense of wellness, which they posit is essential to help de-stigmatize CBD.
CBD supposed benefits and efficacy
Plant of Life supplies several CBD product options that deliver a diverse collection of proposed benefits, including pain relief, calmness, relaxation, stress/anxiety management and sleep quality improvement.
In terms of ingestion methods, users can take CBD in multiple forms, including edibles (gummies), vape pens, and oil drops. Plant of Life also offers topicals, such as Plant of Life's Heal Stick, which contains a blend of whole plant extract, and is suggested to be helpful with inflammation, muscle injury, and arthritic joint pain.
"The most common way to take CBD oil is sublingually (under the tongue)," says Kim. "It absorbs into your bloodstream quickly and stays roughly four to six hours. With vaping, the effect is almost immediate, but doesn't stay in the body as long as oil, maybe one to four hours."
Plant of Life has three exclusive lines of CBD oils: THC-Free, Full-Spectrum, and Full-Spectrum Solutions, offering various strengths and formulas. "Our Full-Spectrum Organic CBD Oil in our Sleep Solution, may help you enter the full restoration mode at night with CBD and valerian root," reveals Kim. "Additionally, it has a blend of essential oils, such as chamomile and lavender, which are great for relaxation."
Their PETS Full Spectrum Organic CBD Oil is also proposed to help support your dog's immune system, and potentially help alleviate anxiety, hyperactivity, sleeplessness, inflammation, seizures, and aggression, among others.
"Whether our products or not, CBD won't help everybody," admits Kim. "There's not one solution that fits everyone. We encourage people to do their research, but at the same time, we want to do our part to provide all the information possible around CBD, including the most recent industry research, like clinical trials for instance, for your peace of mind."
