Is Using CBD Or CBG A Form Of Self-Care(AKA Self-Love)?

***This is a guest post from a fellow self-care advocate. I wanted to share some of her knowledge with you. Her name is Connie Ortiz and her blog is,

Is self-care an important part of your life? 

There is an awareness these days about the importance of Self-care which is what helps keep us healthy. And right about now we all could use a whole lot of self-care showing ourselves some love; part of self-care is eating properly to feed our immune systems. And if you are dealing with a health issue or immune disorder, seeking out a good health and wellness coach could be immensely helpful, but I also want to show you how you can use CBD in your self-care routine.

I believe currently in our lives we are so busy that sometimes it feels like it is too hard to take care of ourselves. We are stressed out most of the time, which then turns into health issues, sleep issues, gut issues and more. Or depression has set in because we have been in lock down for so long with very little human contact. These are the reasons why self-care is so important. We need to show ourselves some love. Finding ways to fit it into our crazy busy lives in this very uncertain time. 

Have you thought of CBD being part of a self-care routine? I am going to show you just how CBD or CBG can help you in your self-care routine. You can learn about the benefits of CBG(here)

But first we want to make sure that the product you purchase is a quality product. When you go to the grocery store for food, you try to make sure the food your getting is not full of chemicals.And as much as possible we try to buy organic, non-GMO foods, we do not need to be ingesting harmful chemicals. However, I do get it, sometimes you just have no choice, but we do our best.It is hard because everywhere we turn we find chemicals and toxins, there even in the products we use to clean with, in our laundry detergent and fabric softeners. If you are interested in learning more about that click here: https://www.davidwolfe.com/softeners-detergent-toxic/

That is why when I am shopping for food, I try to get the least amount of chemicals in the food that we are going to eat, that is going to nourish our bodies and hopefully bring life. It cost so much more to be sick than it does to feed our bodies with healthy food and supplements.

The same with CBD, you want to make sure that the CBD or CBG your getting is a good qualityoil. Nona Oils CBD and CBG have been third party tested so you can be sure of its purity. You also want to make sure that there is not a list of added ingredients. Nona Oils, CBD and CBG have only two ingredients, CBD or CBG and Hemp oil. Nona oils Full Spectrum CBD has the legal amount of THC .3% and our CBG is an Isolate which has “0” THC.

There are many people starting to embrace the many therapeutic benefits of CBD and CBG for anxiety, stress, pain, gut issues and so much more. Fear has taken over our minds, so much that when we go to bed our brains just will not shut off and we are constantly thinking and worrying.

My aim is to give you some suggestions to help with your self-care, AKA self-love • Start your day with your dose of CBD or CBG. Go outside if you can for 10 or 15 minutes to start your day with some vital vitamin D it also helps with our circadian cycle. • If you are a coffee drinker, CBD coffee will give you that lift you need and at the same time help you focus on the things that you need to accomplish without the typical coffee jitters.

Midday, you know that time of day when we start to slow down but still have a million things to do or maybe you find yourself with anxiety because of high levels of stress or pressure:• Go for a walk 5 or 10 minutes, longer is always good just do what you can. Check out this link 

https://www.mindful.sodexo.com/surprising-reasons-you-should-take-a-walk-this-afternoon/• If you take an afternoon dose of your CBD or CBG keep the dose low.• Maybe you chose to use Pre-rolls, one or two small puffs should do the trick and give you focus. 

We all have a way of winding down at night, for some of us, it is a glass of wine or sitting in front of the television watching some mindless show. While these are great ideas, how aboutturning the lights down. As well as adding CBD or CBG, if you are a smoker a Pre-roll will calm any anxiety that you might be having quickly. 

Start a new night routine by adding warm magnesium salt bath to your wind down routine at night, then take your CBD or CBG. If you add a few extra drops then you normally would take, it will help you calm your mind and help you sleep. The Giraffe nuts candy caramels with CBD and Melatonin would be great to take as your soaking. 

When you use CBD or CBG there are very few known side effects compared to the list of side effects that come with most all medications that are out there. One thing to remember is that if you take other medications, the best thing to do is ask your doctor for advice. However, you could use your CBD or CBG, 1 to 2 hours before or after you take your meds. 

If you have never used a CBD or CBG oil, it is best to see how your body reacts with it, so start low and slow. What exactly does that mean? Well, since everyone is different, we will all react different. So, start with 5 drops 2x a day and every couple of days add more until you get the results you are looking for. Your first bottle should last you about one and a half months. Once you find the amount that works for you, you can go up in strength and take less. You can also take it 3x a day, some find this works best for them. The one thing that is particularly importantwith CBD or CBG is consistency this is the key, because it will help your endocannabinoid system get into balance. Our endocannabinoid system is involved in our physiological systems like our sleep, mood and even inflammation, all the areas we need to keep balanced.

Start small be easy on yourself, just choose one thing and when that becomes routine add another.
