CBD Oil Is Changing Things...

Holistic healing is one of the most controversial—yet sought after—apothecary options.

"Might as well go to a medicine man or a witch doctor. Rub dirt on your face and howl to the moon." Not quite.

For centuries prior to modern medicine, however, they would experiment and use what nature had provided in order to heal any ailments from their suffering patients. Granted, oftentimes things such as seizures were seen as demonic possessions, but that's what makes the fusion so much better. Put holistic healing and the knowledge of modern medicine together and what do you have?

CBD oil for starters.

Many categorize CBD oil in the same bubble as marijuana. But that simply cannot be done. Sure, they both contain cannibinoids, but marijuana also has THC. CBD oil does not.

CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil. It does not contain THC, the psychoactive drug in cannabis that gives you the "high" feeling. And yes, it is legal in all 50 states.

The stigma around holistic healing partially stems from the anti-vax movement, where parents refuse to get their children vaccinated, in fear of the vaccinations side effects affecting their children far worse than any "disease." However, this is where the knowledge of modern medicine should have helped the holistic healing fans. "Yes, polio is no longer around. That is because a vaccination has been found and, therefore, the disease is eradicated. No, lavender and thistle root cannot cure your child's measles."

One must find the healthy balance between when and when not to use holistic healing, and when the benefits of modern medicine actually do outweigh the positives of our floral garden.

CBD oil can be infused in coffee. It can be infused in soap bars, moisturizer for healthier, clearer skin, lotions, beard oil, tea—truly a versatile ingredient with AMAZING benefits.

CBD oil is used to aid with ADHD, depression, anxiety, inflammation, chronic pain such as arthritis, acne, cancer-induced symptoms such as pain and nausea... the list goes on and on.

Women use CBD oil when pregnant to alleviate their nausea even! (Of course each pregnancy is different, please see your primary care provider for assurance.)

Animals are given CBD oil to calm them from their anxiety as well. (i.e. Chihuahua shivers!)

So, in retrospect, with an ever-evolving list of possible uses, infusions, and being safe for every family member, what are you waiting for? If you feel you could be helped, with any aspect in your life that may have been listed, or just feel like trying it out, seek out the purest form of CBD oil with very little to no additives. (I recommend HB Naturals—it's made in Kentucky. With a free membership they offer, you can actually get it, along with a lot of other CBD-infused or hemp products, for a discounted price.)

Sure, you can pick up CBD oil at the gas station. But keep in mind to look at those "other ingredients." You can buy a tuna sandwich at the gas station too, but would you want to? All I'm saying is be aware of what you put in your body.

CBD oil is the future. I predict a CBD-infused drink in our near future. You heard it here first!
