Last year, I celebrated my first 420 with a gift guide. Since then, I've continued to learn and test CBD for a variety of symptoms. I've also received great feedback from others who have tried the products. This year I share a new list of recommendations focusing in on the needs of those asking, "What CBD product is best?" or "Where do I start?".
I first want to note that the products listed here come from HempMeds and I've selected them because I trust the quality and safety of their growing, testing and production processes. My trust was recently reinforced with they announcement that they have the first CBD product to be listed in the medical mainstream resource Prescribers Digital Reference (formerly known as Physicians Desk Reference. Now, on to the list!
Tinctures and oils seem to be an easy way for people to get started with CBD. The price-points and less stressful and oils are easy to take. My recommendation is to look for full spectrum oils and the amount of CBD in the bottle and each recommended dose. A simple hemp oil is much different and may not provide the effect one is seeking.
A 1 oz bottle of RSHO Blue Label Tincture is an ideal starter supplement for anyone wanting to give CBD a try. It is full spectrum decarboxylated hemp oil containing 100 mg of CBD.
RSHO Hemp Oil Gold This 4 oz bottle of easy to use liquid oil is full spectrum and contains 1000mg of CBD. It has a clean light coconut oil flavor with only a hint of earthy hemp. It is an ideal choice for those using CBD during the day and, possibly, using larger doses.
Another easy-to-use CBD product was featured in my list last year, but it now comes in a new flavor - Sour Apple. The Dixie Botanicals Kicks contain 5 mg of CBD, B vitamins and slow-release 100 mg caffeine for a low calorie energy chew. It is ideal for getting through an afternoon or anytime you need a little extra boost without the calories of energy drinks. Chocolate and Mango Citrus are also available.
Last year my list included a salve that has further proved its value - especially for swollen and irritated injection/IV sites. But, some might prefer the efficiency of a roll-on, especially if it is needed for the back or other large areas of the body. The Active Relief Roll-On contains 10 mg of fast acting CBD that combats stiffness from everyday activities.
Lastly, to celebrate, I'll be adding "beauty" products to the shop for those with functional limitations. Why? Because, those challenged by chronic illness, pain and the limitations it brings can feel and look a bit run down at times. Seeing ourselves look better and less aged, might also help us feel better. That positive feeling and outlook could actually impact our overall health and wellness.
The first item added is Defined Anti-Aging Cleanser contains CBD-rich hemp oil, dragon's blood and astragalus to nourish and deeply cleanse the skin. It removes and hydrates the skin; leaving a noticable difference. If you don't believe me, ask my husband or 80-something year old sister-in-law.
