CBD and Pain: How Hemp May Help Ease Your Pain
Over-the-counter pain killers like Ibuprofen work against the body’s natural system, although pain reduction has a perceived benefit. Ibuprofen is used to manage pain, inflammation, and fever; it does so by blocking the production of prostaglandins, substances that the body releases in a natural response to illness or injury. With Ibuprofen, you can expect potential side effects to range from upset stomach, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, headaches, lack of appetite, rashes, and mild itching. And the list goes on; see here for more.
One of the earliest uses of cannabis was to treat pain. Historical documents reveal the use of cannabis for surgical anesthesia in ancient China and to relieve pain of diverse origin in ancient Israel, Greece, Rome, and India.
Conversely, CBD works beneficially by interacting with and binding to receptors within the body’s Endocannabinoid System which comprises the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems. These receptors literally are the bridge between mind and body, hence, the primary reason we named the product line “Hemp Mind & Body!” This Endocannabinoid System naturally creates cannabinoids to bring your systems back into balance but as we grow older, suffer injury, or withstand constant stresses this system cannot function at its optimal capacity and needs help to replenish its reserves.
We understand the struggle of living with daily aches and pains. Whether it’s situational or chronic, it can be more than challenging to tackle day-to-day activities. The HMB's family of products were created to help your body heal, and restore homeostasis or balance within the body.
