What these products can do for you

CBG (cannabigerol)works to fight inflammation, pain, & nausea. Our daytime tincture has 500mg of CBG.  Research has shown it also significantly reduces intraocular eye pressure caused by glaucoma. Strains high in CBG will be beneficial treating conditions such as inflammatory bowel and Crohn's disease. 
CBG May Help To Support Focus.
Users often report a sense of alertness or focus. One of the possible explanations for this effect is that CBG has shown great potential as a neuroprotectant. CBG helps to support healthy inflammatory function and has even been shown to possibly support neurogenesis, the growth of new brain cells—possibly leading to greater capacity for focus and attention.
CBG May Help To Support A Healthy appetite.
One of the many reasons people turn to hemp-derived CBD oil is to manage their emotional well-being.
It turns out that CBG may be more beneficial to help support a normal stress response over its more famous counterpart, CBD.
CBG possesses  a broad range of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin protecting properties to help slow down inflammation, aging, & boost skin barrier function. CBG connects with receptors on skin & pores. 

However, there's another mechanism at play in which CBG helps to support stress management. Studies suggest that CBG inhibits serotonin's uptake, which means a higher concentration of this neurotransmitter may stay active in the brain, helping to support mood.
CBG May Help to Support Eye Health
There's a high concentration of cannabinoid receptors in eye tissues. It turns out, the endocannabinoid system may play a vital role in maintaining eye health.
High levels of eye pressure ( ocular hypertension) can result in poor blood flow to the optic nerves, affecting vision.
One of the more popular reasons people seek out hemp-based products is to help alleviate discomfort naturally.

CBN (cannabinol) has many health benefits, including:

• Minimally psychoactive
• Powerful sedative
• Relieves pain
• Anti-epileptic
• Anti-inflammatory
• Inhibits cancer cell growth
• Stimulates appetite
• Passes transdermal barrier ten times better than other cannabinoids 
• Bone growth stimulation
• Glaucoma treatment
• Antibiotic

• CBN is one of the most sedative cannabinoids in the hemp plant, especially when used with full spectrum oil and terpenes.Research suggests that CBN’s sedative effects can be used as a sleep aid for those who have insomnia. Not only may it help people get to sleep faster, but it may also prolong sleep time.

  A 5-mg dose of CBN may have the same sedative effect as 10 mg of Valium, a prescription medicine used as a sedative and for treating muscle spasms, anxiety, and alcohol withdrawal.PAIN RELIEF Current research shows that CBN interacts with neurons involved with pain signaling and perception. These same neurons are affected by capsaicin, an active compound of chili peppers, known for its burning sensation. Capsaicin can be found in topicals and pain relievers. Essentially, CBN may be used to reduce pain. ANTIBIOTICS -Studies have shown that CBN and other cannabinoids may be effective in treating MRSA, an infection caused by a type of staph bacteria. This strain of bacteria is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. More research into CBN’s antimicrobial properties may help fight against antibiotic resistance. ANTICONVULSANT- Cannabinoid products are powerful options in anti-convulsant treatment. CBN is also showing promise as a powerful anti-convulsant,  especially when used with other cannabinoids. If CBN continues to display anti-convulsive properties for muscle contractions, it may be a promising cannabinoid for patients with epilepsy.  ANTI- INFLAMMATORY Cannabinoids can be used for inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease. While many cannabinoids have shown positive effects on inflammatory diseases, CBN is another alternative treatment option for those with inflammation. APPETITE STIMULANT -Appetite loss can be caused by various psychological causes or medical conditions. While certain cannabinoids like CBD can suppress appetite, CBN may stimulate appetite. CBN may be helpful for cancer patients, for example, who may suffer from appetite loss due to cancer treatment. Early research shows that CBN can inhibit and stop cancer cell growth. In one type of lung cancer, CBN and other cannabinoids were found to reduce tumor size. GLAUCOMA RELIEF - Early research suggests that high doses of CBN may help relieve intraocular pressure, a critical risk factor for glaucoma. CBN also has neuroprotective characteristics that may keep neurons in the back of the eye healthy. Eye drop formulations featuring CBN are currently under development for glaucoma therapy. BONE & SKIN HEALTH- CBN may have powerful protective properties to aid in bone health. CBN has been shown to activate stem cells in bones to create new bone cells. CBN may also be helpful in bone loss reduction, as a treatment for osteoporosis, and the promotion of bone healing.

• In terms of skin health, CBN has been shown to reduce skin cell overgrowth. Topical CBN treatment may have promising effects in psoriasis treatment. In addition, CBN is much more permeable across the transdermal barrier.  NEURO-PROTECTIVE- CBN has been shown to have neuroprotective qualities. 
  
  

• CBD (cannabidiol)

• Not only does CBD not get you high; it can add to your overall wellness and improve your quality of life. Certain properties of CBD Oil, which is derived from the hemp plant, have been studied in clinical trials. Everything including its effect on Parkinson's disease, the immune system, antioxidant properties, serotonin production, Schizophrenia, Dravet Syndrome (a rare form of epilepsy) has been studied, and findings show that CBD oil can support our health in many ways.

  Use of CBD is being studied for basically all health issues of the human body. It has been shown to help those with anxiety and sleep disorders, and it has far fewer side effects than most prescribed medications. And don't forget our pets! CBD is also being used for our beloved animal's medical conditions and general healthcare as well.

  CBDV (cannabidivarin) 

  Like CBD, CBDV significantly reduces the frequency and severity of seizures. It also reduces or even eliminates nausea associated with several conditions, and helps to reduce inflammation throughout the body. CBDV is also beneficial in the treatment of pain and mood disorders.

   

  What Is The Endocannabinoid System?

  The endogenous cannabinoid system named after the plant that led to its discovery, is perhaps the most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. In each tissue, the cannabinoid system performs different tasks, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.

  Cannabinoids promote homeostasis at every level of biological life, from the sub-cellular, to the organism, and perhaps to the community and beyond. Here’s one example: autophagy, a process in which a cell sequesters part of its contents to be self-digested and recycled, is mediated by the cannabinoid system. While this process keeps normal cells alive, allowing them to maintain a balance between the synthesis, degradation, and subsequent recycling of cellular products, it has a deadly effect on malignant tumor cells, causing them to consume themselves in a programmed cellular suicide. The death of cancer cells, of course, promotes homeostasis and survival at the level of the entire organism.

  Endocannabinoids and cannabinoids are also found at the intersection of the body’s various systems, allowing communication and coordination between different cell types. At the site of an injury, for example, cannabinoids can be found decreasing the release of activators and sensitizers from the injured tissue, stabilizing the nerve cell to prevent excessive firing, and calming nearby immune cells to prevent release of pro-inflammatory substances. Three different mechanisms of action on three different cell types for a single purpose: minimize the pain and damage caused by the injury.

   The endocannabinoid system, with its complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and all of the body’s organs, is literally a bridge between body and mind. By understanding this system we begin to see a mechanism that explains how states of consciousness can promote health or disease.

  In addition to regulating our internal and cellular homeostasis, cannabinoids influence a person’s relationship with the external environment. Socially, the administration of cannabinoids clearly alters human behavior, often promoting sharing, humor, and creativity. By mediating neurogenesis, neuronal plasticity, and learning, cannabinoids may directly influence a person’s open-mindedness and ability to move beyond limiting patterns of thought and behavior from past situations. Reformatting these old patterns is an essential part of health in our quickly changing environment.

  What Are Cannabinoid Receptors?

  Sea squirts, tiny nematodes, and all vertebrate species share the endocannabinoid system as an essential part of life and adaptation to environmental changes. By comparing the genetics of cannabinoid receptors in different species, scientists estimate that the endocannabinoid system evolved in primitive animals over 600 million years ago.

  While it may seem we know a lot about cannabinoids, the estimated twenty thousand scientific articles have just begun to shed light on the subject. Large gaps likely exist in our current understanding, and the complexity of interactions between various cannabinoids, cell types, systems and individual organisms challenges scientists to think about physiology and health in new ways. The following brief overview summarizes what we do know.

  Cannabinoid receptors are present throughout the body, embedded in cell membranes, and are believed to be more numerous than any other receptor system. When cannabinoid receptors are stimulated, a variety of physiologic processes ensue. Researchers have identified two cannabinoid receptors: CB1, predominantly present in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs; and CB2, predominantly found in the immune system and its associated structures. Many tissues contain both CB1 and CB2 receptors, each linked to a different action. 
  
  

  TERPENES AND EFFECTS

  BETA-CARYOPHYLLENE - Due to its unique ability to bind with CB2 receptors, Beta-caryophyllene has potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. It is known to help relieve anxiety and pain, reduce cholesterol, prevent Osteoporosis, and treat seizures.

  How does beta caryophyllene make you feel? Beta caryophyllene is known for its analgesic applications, which means that it helps with pain. Additionally, you can expect some stress relief and mood elevation when you consume cannabis products high in beta caryophyllene, resulting in a laid back and euphoric experience.

  BCP oil is a potent anti-inflammatory that can help reduce joint pain. It can also help with metabolic disorders, anxiety and stress. Beta-caryophyllene has been shown to be as effective as common anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and aspirin but without adverse side effects.

  LIMONENE- The therapeutic effects of limonene have been extensively studied, proving anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antinociceptive, anticancer, antidiabetic, antihyperalgesic, antiviral, and gastroprotective effects, among other beneficial effects in health. 

  What does limonene do for the body?

  Limonene acts as an antioxidant in the body, absorbing and removing damaging free radicals before they can injure cells. Dietary limonene may help lower your risk of certain cancers and signs of aging by reducing the amount of oxidative stress on your body. 

   Consuming limonene may help reduce chronic inflammation in the body. While more studies must be done, early trials suggest that limonene may help reduce a number of factors connected to chronic inflammation. Since inflammation factors into a number of chronic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis  and certain forms of cancer, reducing inflammation may help lower your risk of developing these conditions and improve the health of people living with them.
