COMMON FACTORS THAT AFFECT IMMUNE SYSTEM

There are a lot of factors that come into play when talking about boosting your immune system. Some common factors you have to pay attention to our nutrition intake, sleep cycle, exercise habits, and stress level. In order to build strong immunity, your body cell needs supply from the food or supplements you take every day. Your sleep quality is crucial since it is a time for your body to recover – repair damaged cells and build new ones. To keep your body healthy, you need to exercise regularly to improve and maintain your physical strength, endurance, and overall metabolism. Last but not least, take care of your mental health. An increased level of cortisol, a stress hormone, makes it difficult for the immune system to function properly. In short, it is about having a well-balanced lifestyle both mind and body.

Scientific research has shown that CBD may promote your overall immunity since it helps you to de-stress and rest better. On top of that, CBD works with your lymphatic system to help your immune response system.

HOW CBD AND IMMUNE SYSTEM INTERACT

Each person has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that plays an important role in overall body functions. ECS is also one of the gatekeepers of the immune system. Research published in 2017 found that CBD modifies the immune system response of the human intestinal lymphatic system. The effect of cannabis on the lymphatic system is significant in the human immune system because the lymphatic system contains and regulates white blood cells that play a crucial role in protecting our body against foreign cells.

At Med CBD Headquarters, we constantly do our research to improve our products based on scientific findings. We find and offer formulated CBD with herbs and vitamins specifically to help boost your immune system. All our products are using nano CBD which will increase the CBD absorption in your body. Check out our daily vitamin C supplement formulated with CBD and other oral CBD products for your immunity.

USING CBD FOR PAIN RELIEF

CBD is one of the cannabinoids that are naturally present in cannabis. It has gained popularity in alleviating pain and providing either targeted or overall body relief. According to a study in 2018, six out of seven people reported improvements in pain after taking CBD. Many of our consumers find CBD Living relief collection effective and easy-to-use to help with their pain.

When it comes to providing relief, CBD Living, Veritas Farms, Neurogan and Canna River have a wide selection of products, from topical to oral.

IMPROVING YOUR SLEEP QUALITY, IMPROVING YOUR WELLNESS

There are a lot of great sayings about sleep. One of our favorites is by Robert A. Heinlein that goes “Happiness consists of getting enough sleep”. While you are juggling with all the hustle and bustle in pursuing your dream, you might not realize that what you need the most is a good night’s sleep. By resting well, you have the right attitude and energy to conquer the world. 

It is recommended for adults to have about 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Unfortunately, many of us have trouble falling asleep. Some people keep waking up in the middle of night which disrupts their rest quality. Sleep deprivation leads to weaker immune system, stress, obesity, and various other health conditions.

CBD FOR SLEEP: DOES IT WORK?

Based on scientific research, CBD, which is a phytocannabinoid derived from Cannabis sativa, can help people gain a better quality of sleep. CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the brain to help with health issues like pain and occasional stress. By helping with pain and calming your mind, CBD helps you to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. Unlike THC, CBD is not a psychoactive component. Thus, CBD will not make you high.

There are various ways to incorporate CBD into your night routine. All of our “Brands” have formulated CBD for sleep that you can take before you go to bed each night. Our sleep support products combine the goodness of CBD with melatonin to help you unwind and rest. Med CBD Headquarters’ sleep products have helped consumers to improve their sleep quality at night and help them wake up refreshed every morning.

CBD for Chronic Pain: Does it Work?

You might’ve tried a few things to reduce your chronic pain — talking to your doctor, seeing a specialist, various medications, acupuncture, massage, cognitive behavioral therapy, surgery —the list goes on and on.

But have you tried CBD? It might be worth looking into. In a recent Forbes Health survey, 60% of adults who use CBD products do it to manage pain levels.

Unlock the benefits of CBD

According to Cleveland Clinic, chronic pain comes in all types of forms, all across the body. Whether it’s joint pain, back pain, neurological pain or headaches, living with chronic pain can take its toll. You might be wondering if CBD could provide relief.

Because there are a lot of restrictions on the use of and research on cannabis, there’s a lot we don’t know a lot about CBD’s efficacy or safety, says Medical News Today. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn’t approved CBD for treating pain. Talk to your doctor first about whether it’s beneficial, safe and how much to take, advises Medical News Today. In the meantime, here are a few studies that point to the benefits behind CBD:

• Arthritis and joint pain: The Arthritis Foundation explains that some people with arthritis who’ve tried CBD have reported noticeable pain relief, sleep improvement and/or anxiety reduction. However, the foundation warns that CBD might interact with some drugs commonly taken by people with arthritis, so talk to your doctor first before you try it.
• Migraines: The American Migraine Foundation says there’s not enough scientific research to definitively say if CBD is an effective way to treat migraines. However, CBD oil might help decrease neck pain, soreness, nausea and vomiting — all common symptoms associated with migraines, cites the foundation.
• Multiple sclerosis: Healthline suggests that MS patients might benefit from CBD as it could help reduce fatigue, pain, spasticity and improve mobility. Remember to talk to your doctor to review your options and get approval, before adding CBD to your routine.

OUR GUIDE TO MANAGING YOUR STRESS

If you feel like your life is more stressful than it used to be, you’re not alone. The Mental Health Foundation found that 65% of people are feeling more stressed than usual since March 2020. The reality is that in current times, we all need to make sure that we are prioritising our wellness and mental health. As a result, people are exploring the possibility of self-care rituals, many of which can be enhanced with CBD. 

DOES CBD HELP WITH STRESS?

When we experience prolonged feelings of stress, we may not value our personal wellbeing. It is crucial that we dedicate time to rest and relaxation to reduce what may feel like an ever-increasing mental load. As well as this, when we are constantly ‘carrying’ stress with us, this can manifest as physical tension.

CBD can help to ease both mind and body, creating a sense of balance that is often disrupted by the long-term effects of stress. For instance, our CALM 300mg CBD Balm from our CALM range can be gently massaged into pulse points to help soothe physical and mental tension. The relaxing qualities of the CBD are accentuated by tranquil flavors such as Evening Primrose, Rosemary and Basil. 

Research is ongoing as to the beneficial effects of CBD. However, there have been promising results from studies into how CBD can help with stress. For instance, a 2020 study in New Zealand found that patients with anxiety and depression saw measurable increases in their quality of daily life after 3 weeks of using CBD. Therefore, we remain optimistic that more people will find CBD to have an enriching effect in their daily lives.

Self-care looks different for every person. For some, it could mean a walk in a park or spending time with loved ones, whereas other people are more interested in established ‘wellness’ practices such as yoga or meditation. No matter what form your self-care ritual may take, it can often be enhanced by using CBD. Here are just a few ways in which you can get the most out of the potentially uplifting effects of CBD. 

HOW CBD MAKES YOU RELAXED

It is widely known based on research that we have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our bodies. ECS is regulating many important functions in our body including a sense of stability and balance. Feeding CBD to the receptors in the ECS will promote a calm feeling and relaxation. This relaxing/calming effect makes CBD a go-to substance to help with anxiety and mood swings.

To promote a calm feeling and help you relax, broad-spectrum CBD products from Medicinal Cannabis Headquarters come in handy because they work effectively without causing you to feel high. All of our “Brands” uses nano CBD in all products to increase the cannabinoid absorption by your body cells.

Many people have incorporated CBD into their daily routine, especially to help them de-stress, relax, and rest. This little extra help can go a long way. Your busy day may be much more peaceful and productive with a high-quality rest and a calm mind.

HOW MUCH CBD TO RELAX

Short answer: it depends! Each person responds differently to cannabinoids. If you are new to CBD, we recommend you start small. Taking CBD tinctures, or some people refer to as CBD drops, is the easiest way to manage your CBD for relaxation. You can start with taking one drop of CBD Dropper (100mg) 2-3 times a day which has 6.6 mg of CBD per drop. Then, listen to your body. If you don’t feel anything, most likely, you can scale up to a bigger dose either by getting a more concentrated CBD tincture to help you relax, (we have CBD tinctures up to 166 mg per drop) or by having it more frequently throughout the day.

You can also combine various CBD products to help you calm and soothe. Other best-selling CBD products for relaxation are CBD gummies and CBD water. You can easily adjust the amount of CBD you are taking with these 2 products throughout your day.
