Cannabis compounds are more often prescribed by doctors to treat serious chronic conditions. Cannabinoids like CBD and THC have been highlighted as potent anti-inflammatory agents , neuroprotectants, painkillers, and antioxidants. CBD can also regulate our blood sugar levels and help with metabolism on many levels, according to recent research. Not only does CBD promote fat-browning, but it can also curb cravings for high-calorie food and reduce stress levels , preventing people from eating compulsively. But does CBD have a direct impact on diabetes? Can you take it as a diabetes treatment instead of conventional medications? Are CBD and metformin a good match? Metformin is a common anti-diabetes medication that doctors prescribe to lower blood sugar levels in their patients. The idea of combining these two compounds is tempting, especially if your current treatment doesn’t bring satisfying results. Let’s take a look at the current situation of CBD in treating diabetes — and how i...

Have you ever experienced that burning sensation after eating, especially after having something spicy? Been there, done that. Actually, we’re not alone in this. According to statistics, 1 in 5 Americans experiences heartburn, also known as acid reflux. Most people tackle acid reflux with over-the-counter medications, but to no avail. Relief is only short-term, not to mention an array of unpleasant side-effects if you take these meds regularly. It’s no wonder that people are looking for a healthier alternative to treat acid reflux, one that could address the problem properly, and without taking a toll on their health. You may be wondering if CBD can treat acid reflux. After all, CBD has a long list of science-backed benefits; support for the gastrointestinal system is one of them. CBD oil can be an effective treatment for many digestive problems, including acid reflux disease. In this article, we’ll cover the potential benefits, explain how CBD works in the body to relieve heart...

Although cannabis has gotten a bad reputation as a “drug of abuse” due to massive misinformation campaigns in the past, our perception of the plant is changing significantly as more research is done. It actually appears that cannabis compounds, such as CBD and THC, can actually help manage addictive behaviors, and cannabis itself can be considered an “exit drug” instead of a “gateway drug.” (1) There is evidence that pharmaceuticals that target CB2 receptors may be used in treating cocaine and heroin addiction (2). Certain observational studies have also shown that cannabis may be a safe substitute for substances like alcohol or nicotine (3). But can you effectively replace CBD with nicotine? How does CBD help people who decide to go cold turkey? Let’s dig it up! Nicotine in Numbers The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that on top of nicotine, tobacco smoke contains at least 69 substances that are known to cause cancer (4). The use of tobacco continues to be the leading ...

With the rapidly-growing popularity of CBD, many producers are scrambling to add new varieties of CBD (also known as cannabidiol) to their product lines. Rushing CBD products to market has its risks, though. CBD is usually taken internally for its medicinal and health benefits, so cannabidiol’s quality determines whether it will work well. And it takes a lot of time and effort to design, produce and test new types of CBD products before they’re ready for sale. That automatically raises red flags – at least, to us – when we see a company offering a huge number of different CBD products. Koi CBD fits that description. Tinctures, shots, softgels, gummies, vapes, flower, balm, gel, inhales, skincare products, bath bombs; that’s a lot to produce in an industry where quality is crucial – and the products have only been legal for sale since late 2018. Does Koi CBD pull it off successfully? It’s time to dig a little deeper. Koi CBD: The Background Most of the companies now selling CBD on...

Articles explaining the potential health and wellness benefits of CBD often mention the fact that the most effective ways to consume cannabidiol (the complete name for CBD ) are by dropping oil underneath the tongue or by vaping.  Both methods introduce cannabidiol into the bloodstream almost immediately, allowing it to work quickly and without losing potency. It’s easy to buy CBD oil . It’s sold by hundreds of companies online, at local CBD stores, and it’s even available at some drug and convenience stores. But how do you vape cannabidiol? CBD oil is made for internal consumption, not to be put into vaporizers. And most Internet vendors aren’t a great deal of help; they usually sell oil, capsules, edibles, and topical CBD products. You may find CBD vapes at specialty stores, and some e-cigarette vendors sell them, but the selection will be limited at best. Enter CBDfx. The company does offer a pretty good selection of standard CBD products on its website – but what it really spec...

And now for something completely different. If you’re new (or relatively new) to CBD as a medicinal or health product, you’re probably familiar with CBD oil. You may also know that cannabidiol (the complete name for CBD) can be consumed in capsule or edible form and that some topical creams are infused with CBD to help with surface-level aches , pains, and skin conditions. You may even know that vaping CBD isn’t just possible, it’s a fast and effective way to get cannabidiol into your body and working quickly. But did you know that you can also smoke it just like weed? That’s the specialty of CBD Hemp Direct. The company sells a mind-blowing (no pun intended) assortment of flower, kief, trim, joints and blunts with high CBD content, all produced from the hemp plant rather than the marijuana plant. Hemp has less than 0.3% THC content, so the products don’t produce any psychoactive effects – only the power of cannabidiol. And since these are (by their very nature) full-spectrum CBD...
