by Chris Husong – On February 3, 2019, Elixinol medical advisor Dr. Philip Blair was featured by Consumer Reports.
The article focused on the potential role of hemp cannabidiol (CBD) for people who, under their doctor’s supervision, are weaning from strong medicines that may be addictive. Dr. Blair works with his patients to help them wean gradually, at the pace that works best for them.
“If they know they have something to rely on, to count on, to get back to normal and get them through this time period, they can do it,” he told Consumer Reports.
Dr. Blair, who has consulted over 2,000 patients in his private practice, told Yahoo! News in January 2019 that he tends to see overall relaxation after he observes someone take a serving of CBD–including visibly relaxed muscles in the face and shoulders.
Scientific opinions vary when it comes to CBD’s potential applications; many researchers believe more studies are needed to get a better idea of where CBD can be best utilized. What we do know is that, for some people, CBD may promote calm and a sense of well-being, which is essential to getting through times of change or difficulty.
Keeping stress in check is key to managing all major life changes, whatever they might be. CBD may be able to help you respond to stress in a productive way, since your endocannabinoid system (ECS) is being well-nourished and supported. The ECS is the major player in your body’s state of homeostasis, and can often be “starved” of natural cannabinoids.
CBD’s ability to alleviate temporary symptoms of anxiety and inflammation, for example, may be especially helpful while a person transitions back to their regular routine. Highly bioavailable CBD formulations, like Hemp Extract Liposomes or a microencapsulated, powdered CBD water mix like Create | Build | Dream are perfect when you need a fast-acting serving of cannabidiol.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a precisely measured, consistent serving, CBD Capsules or the X-Pen may be right for you.
