Health: 10 CBD Facts You Need to Know

2 Comments

Critical Ingredient

CBD, otherwise known as cannabidiol, is one of the key ingredients in cannabis. There are more than 60, and some experts say 80, cannabinoids in the natural, beneficial plant. “Cannabinoids” is the overall name for these compounds with the two primary ones being CBD and THC, or tetratrahydrocannabinol. These two elements have been the most studied components of cannabis thus far.

No Brain Altering

CBD, which comes primarily in an oil form, will not make you feel high. For some people, that might be a disappointment, but those people might not be very concerned about the medicinal properties of cannabis. THC is the portion of cannabis that causes brain effects and the munchies. THC brings about a euphoric state by attaching to CB1 and CB2 brain receptors. CBD does not attach to these particular points so there is no high feeling. Check here for great discounts and promos on CBD: https://thecbdinsider.com. 

Hemp CBD is Not Illegal

There is some confusion about how this can be the case. First of all, there are some locations where marijuana, either medical or recreational is now becoming legal. For instance, cannabis in Canada is legal for both recreational and medicinal purposes, with dispensaries like canadian cannabis dispensary offering a wide range of products for purchase. But in those areas where it is not yet legal, CBD is a hemp oil that can be consumed without repercussion. CBD can be extracted from both marijuana plants and industrial hemp plants. The CBD from hemp plants is legal so there is no concern about breaking any laws.

Kratom CBD is another product to consider for muscle pain and panic attack treatments, suppressing appetite, as well as cramps or diarrhea treatment. It is also used for opioid addiction. But, is kratom illegal? The substance is generally legal in most parts of the world, but there are areas that also prohibit selling of kratom.

Stop The 5 Signs Of #Eyeritation With Eye Mo For Optimal Eye Health

20 Comments

Modern-day Filipino lifestyle can take its toll on our eye health. People, young kids included, who spend many hours in front of the computer, the tellie, or a handheld gadget are prone to suffer from dry and itchy eyes. While those who are exposed to dirt and pollutants due to daily commute are more likely to suffer from a number of “eyeritation.”

What are the 5 signs of eyeritation?

  1. Red Eyes ~ a condition usually caused by allergy, dirt, smoke, pollution, or common eye infections which are the most common among people who are highly exposed to outdoor activities like motorcycle rider and commuters.
  2. Watery Eyes ~ excessive tearing not caused by normal crying may very well be a sign of an underlying health condition. When too many tears are being secreted, it is often because of irritation or inflammation of the surface of the eye that can be caused by external elements as well.
  3. Sore Eyes ~ is usually caused by staring into a computer screen or a book for too long.
  4. Itchy Eyes ~ are often caused by allergies. It can also occur when there is constant exposure to household elements like mold and dust. Rubbing the itchy eyes, even when you cannot resist the urge at times, won’t help.
  5. Dry Eyes ~ this is common to people who have high exposure to gadget, tellie, laptops, as well as those working in air-conditioned rooms. Lack of tears or moisture in the eyes is also common as we age.

Like other parts of your body, you should take care of your eyes. If you don’t take proper eye care, it can result to many eye diseases. – Earl Jayona, Marketing Manager for Eye Mo, LF Asia Philippines, Inc., Healthcare Division
