CBD for Dogs with Arthritis: How My Old Poodle Became His Playful Self Again


Bo, a 13-year-old poodle, was in so much pain he could barely sleep or eat. Then, his owner Alexis, like other pet owners across the country, discovered CBD for dogs with arthritis.

Alexis Rosenbaum knew something was wrong. Bo, her 13-year-old miniature poodle, hadn’t gone to the bathroom for three days. He couldn’t lift his head, eat, drink or sleep. Usually a playful and energetic poodle, Bo had to be carried around in a baby sling on Rosenbaum’s chest, but he still whimpered and cried from the pain.

"How Does CBD Help With Exercise"?

Why are athletes using CBD supplements, and what can CBD do for your exercise routine?

Last year the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) made a big change: though they still do not allow athletes to utilize medical cannabis, they’re allowing for athletes to use only CBD supplements.

Though the WADA doesn’t govern all anti-doping regulations, they do set the tone, and other anti-doping authorities are likely to follow this line. 

Athletes now have more freedom to access the health and wellness benefits of CBD, without being disqualified from competing.

CBD for Sports: “It Helps”

The WADA change came after MMA fighter Nate Diaz took a drag from a CBD vaporizer pen during a post-fight press conference, in direct violation of the rules, and explained the benefits he experienced from the supplement: “It helps with the healing process and inflammation and things like that, so you want to get these for before or after the fights, in training. It’ll make your life a better place,” Nate Diaz told press, potentially endangering his career.

Rather than ruining his career, Diaz opened the way for more athletes to use cannabidiol (CBD) to supplement and support their exercise regimen. CBD supplements can be great both pre- and post-workout to prevent inflammation like Diaz pointed out, but that’s not all. Research shows that CBD can improve recovery, especially after injury, reduce pain and muscle spasms, improve sleep, and stimulate appetite.

How Topical CBD Products Work With Your Body to Provide Relief

As we get older, aches and pains that we typically deal with  become more and      more prevalent. 

At any age, we may experience pain in our joints and muscles from overwork or repetitive motion, prolonged or vigorous exercise, sitting too long, or holding stress in our body.

While body aches may present discomfort for anyone, some conditions that make it worse, such as, arthritis and autoimmune diseases such as fibromyalgia and lupus.

Why Topical CBD is a Great Natural Alternative to Over the Counter/Prescription Drugs?
• Over the counter medications such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen may provide relief, but come with complications sometimes as severe as liver damage.
• Prescribed pain medications are potentially addictive and have other serious side-effects as well.
• Supplements and natural remedies don't always bring immediate relief and even something like soaking in a tub with Epsom salts doesn't work for those with limited mobility.
• Topical creams seem like a good idea, but the key ingredient in many, methyl salicylate has toxicity issues, and even more natural products like Tiger Balm come with an eye-watering aftermath.
How CBD Products Work With the Endocannabinoid System

Topical products containing CBD offer a fast acting and safe remedy for the relief of muscle and joint pain. Cannabidiol (or CBD) derives from the cannabis sativa plant, the same plant which produces marijuana or THC. Plants are defined as cannabis or hemp when their THC level measures under .3% while marijuana plants have THC levels of .5 to 30%. The cannabinoid THC provides the euphoric high that many people associate with marijuana.
CBD works on and with the human body because of the endocannabinoid system or ECS. The ECS was discovered in the 1980's as research was conducted to explain why cannabis helped so many different conditions. The ECS runs throughout the body including every organ and system in all mammals. Made up of small endogenous acidic molecules referred to as endocannabinoids, the design of the ECS directs it to target the organ or system that is in need of repair.
The Cannabis plant operates under the same system as ECS referred to as phytocannabinoids, which explains why when administered, cannabis assists the body's ECS in functioning to relieve a variety of ailments.

How Topicals Work With the ECS

Creams and salves that contain CBD work with the skin by penetrating the C1 and C2 receptors directly. The sensitivity of the body's largest organ (the skin) causes an almost immediate signal to the DNA to produce a protein to halt the production of arachidonic acid which causes pain and inflammation.
Especially when combined with skilled massage or therapeutic touch, topical CBD oil provides substantial and quick relief. Some of the conditions helped by topical CBD products include:
• Arthritis
• Joint pain
• Muscular pain
• Pain caused by autoimmune disorders
Additional Benefits of Using CBD Topicals
One of the most significant benefits of using topical CBD products to relieve aches and pains involves the fact that there are virtually no adverse side-effects such as those found in over the counter or prescription medications. Additionally, CBD oil contains essential fatty acids and vitamins. There are other added benefits to using products containing CBD oil as well such as:
• Relieving stress and anxiety
• Promoting better sleep
• Aiding in proper digestion
It should be noted too, that CBD oil, when combined with other healing essential oils, have a synergy which produces tailored therapeutic effects for several different ailments. Massage therapists often use topical CBD oil mixed with other healing oils to meet the needs of their clients.

CBD & Knee Pain


CBD KNEE PAIN

Living with pain is an everyday experience for people around the world, and a common complaint that many have is knee pain. It can affect people of all ages for a variety of causes, from injury to severe medical conditions. Knee pain is a prevalent type of chronic pain because of how frequently we use this joint throughout the day. Pain can arise from any of the intricate parts that comprise the knee: the joints, ligaments, bone and cartilage.
If you struggle with chronic knee pain, you have probably been trying to cope using over-the-counter pain meds. Or, if the injury to your knee is too severe, you and your doctor may be working on a treatment plan that involves prescription pain medication or even surgery. Although consulting with your physician is essential to your health, you may want to suggest an alternative treatment option for your knee pain: CBD.
