As we close the door on 2021, many of us are looking at 2022 as the proverbial "turning of the page", so to speak. In the past year everyone has felt the impact, leaving many reeling and off balance.  Thankfully, the cannabinoid CBD helps promote balance in our bodies and minds. Here are 5 reasons for incorporating CBD into your New Years regimen.

1. CBD helps restore balance

In today's world, the term "balance" is frequently used in conversations and advertisements. However, it has become very difficult for us to balance our lives much less our bodies. Balance is a requirement of our bodies to function efficiently. In science, we call this state "homeostasis".

When our body is out of balance our cannabinoid receptors signal for help. Our brain intercepts these signals and targets the imbalances. The bodies cannabinoid receptors play a large role in our day to day lives, skin health, mood, workout recovery, and joint health are all impacted by these receptors. 

When these receptors activate they trigger the endocannabinoid system to produce endocannabinoids. These endocannabinoids then stimulate or bind to the cannabinoid receptors changing their signals. This process eventually brings the body and its systems back to a state of homeostasis.

CBD oil contains phytocannabinoids. Similar to endocannabinoids these phytocannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system to promote balance in throughout the body.

2. Easy to incorporate into your daily regimen

The versatility of CBD makes it a great addition to your routine. Complementing so many of our physiological functions, the benefits of daily use are astounding. In modern times many of us have accepted the fact that we need to supplement with vitamins and medications. Our Everyday CBD Softgel formula is a fantastic way to incorporate CBD into your daily regimen.

Simply taking one or two of these in the morning is an easy and simple way to get a daily dose of CBD. It does take time to feel the effects, so taking them first thing is optimal. This way, by the time you are ready to go they have had time to be absorbed.

3. Quick Mood Support

Our daily lives offer many surprises, many of which unfortunately stress us out. This can certainly be a distraction from our daily tasks. CBD tinctures offer a fast-acting method of support for your mental state. Our Fresh Mint CBD Oil Tincture is one of the fastest absorbing methods of experiencing CBD's benefits. Tinctures also allow for regular adjustment of serving size based on need, they also taste great.

4. Promotes increased energy levels

The endocannabinoid system has cannabinoid receptors in the brain. These receptors might influence your mood or ability to focus.

Phytocannabinoids in CBD oil help soothe these receptors. This reaction promotes a calming effect throughout the endocannabinoid system. In turn, you are able to perform with mental clarity. 

Many of us turn to coffee or sugar-laden energy drinks for our daily pick-me-up. We love a good cup of coffee as much as the next person. However, too much caffeine and/or sugar from these options can cause you to become anxious and result in physical withdrawals during a comedown or sugar crash.

5. Skincare that is All-Natural

Skin is so much more than just what we see on the outside—our looks, our age, etc. It’s the barrier that helps keep pathogens outside while playing host to our organs and healthy bacteria inside.

Cannabinoid receptors act as the guard dogs on the inside of the barrier. They lie beneath the skin, waiting for any potential threats.

Whenever pathogens enter the system, cannabinoid receptors alert the endocannabinoid system. In turn, we may experience temporary discomfort.

CBD topicals are an excellent way to nourish your skin while soothing cannabinoid receptors. Phytocannabinoids are lipids, which help give your skin cells structure. Plus, using CBD topicals allows for targeted care.
