30 Aug The Five Ways to Incorporate CBD Into Your Lifestyle
CBD or cannabinoids has been available in stores and in clinics since 2018, however many people still haven’t come to grasp how to integrate CBD into their everyday life as well as what the benefits are. There are currently an estimated 3 million CBD users in the UK using it for holistic alternatives to prescription medications treating chronic pain, neuropathic conditions as well as some mental health conditions. Jon Robson, the CEO/ founder of Mamedica, the UK’s leading medical cannabis clinic, is available to discuss how CBD can be a suitable holistic alternative and be integrated into the everyday life of Brits.
What is CBD:
CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants that have been linked to various health benefits and can help ease symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia and pain relief. It’s commonly administered in an oil form and usually taken orally. It is also a natural anti-inflammatory and can offer relief for skin conditions, muscle aches and many more.
Jon Robson comments on how to integrate CBD into the everyday:
1. Morning routine:
CBD oils can be integrated into your morning routine by adding it to your morning smoothies, coffee or tea to promote relaxation and ease anxiety for the day ahead and start the day off calmly and focused.
2. Skincare:
CBD can be commonly found in skincare products due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These skincare products can be found in serums, creams, balms and lotions. CBD-infused skincare products have been studied and can be used to alleviate skin flare-ups and ease inflammation and irritation for those suffering from skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
“In the realm of skincare, CBD’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have been leveraged to address conditions like acne and psoriasis and are increasingly found in a range of skincare products.”
3. Exercise recovery:
CBD is an effective post-workout recovery product as it can be used topically as a cream to ease inflammation and promote relaxation. It is commonly used by athletes in the form of CBD-infused creams, balms or tinctures to aid in exercise recovery, inflammation and muscle relaxation to avoid spasms and tension.
“Exercise enthusiasts and athletes can also find value in CBD’s purported anti-inflammatory properties to assist with post-workout recovery, aiding muscle healing and reducing discomfort.”
4. Sleep aid:
CBD is often used to promote better sleep by calming the mind and body. Studies have been conducted showing that CBD has a positive improvement on insomnia and anxiety-induced insomnia, providing more restful and deeper sleep.
“For those who struggle with sleep issues, CBD has been explored as a potential sleep aid, with well-documented studies showing its efficacy to achieve better quality sleep.”
5. Meditation and mindfulness:
Using the combination of CBD with activities such as yoga, meditation or mindfulness practices can enhance relaxation and focus. Studies have found that CBD helps calm the mind by easing anxiety, in turn, it enhances these practices and makes them more effective.
“Lastly, CBD can complement meditation and mindfulness practices by promoting relaxation and focus, enhancing the overall experience.”
