CBD. Where do I start? Growing up with both sets of parents very against “weed”, I could only imagine how they could feel about CBD. I think since CBD is correlated to weed, it automatically gets a bad rep. But I think it’s so important to be open minded. It’s natural and in my opinion and a better solution for some over the counter medications.
First off, it won’t “get you high” lol
If you’re not familiar with CBD it’s a type of compound found in cannabis (marijuana). Unlike, the more well-known cannabinoid THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD doesn’t produce a high.
This is one of the side effects so many people automatically assume happens when you use CBD. Especially when using a topical, like shown in the images, it really is just a great form of pain relief! I actually really love this one from Populum because it has a cooling effect to it as well. It almost reminds me of icy hot but it has the effects of CBD as well. CBD topicals help with join pain, muscle pain, and inflammation. Which I have found so great since I work form home and am on my computer a lot! I love using it as a quick pain relief on my back, shoulders and/or neck.
I’ve also used CBD products to help with my anxiety. Anxiety has been something I have struggled with for a few years now and I noticed when I use CBD to help, I notice a difference in my “fight or flight” response. I don’t get as worked up or get as stuck on a thought, I really notice it helps me relax a little and let things go.
Anyways, I just wanted to write a quick blog post about Populum because I am liking their products so far! AND THE PACKAGING IS SO CUTE. That gets me every time.
Do you use CBD products? What do you think of them?
