Why do people use hemp CBD and other cannabinoids?
The most common reasons people choose to use hemp CBD / cannabinoid products are:
OVERALL
Unwinding 60%
Physical discomfort 58%
General wellness 48%
Specific Health Situation 28%
(Some people choose more than one category)
UNWINDING 60%
Emotional distress 56%
Relaxation 22%
Stress reduction 21%
Let’s talk about unwinding. The single most common reason people choose to use hemp on a daily basis is to diffuse stress. It’s hard to relax these days, and not only is it miserable and distracting to be in a state of chronic mental vigilance, the long term effects on health are well established as detrimental, and reducing stress may well be the most important thing you can do to take care of yourself.
PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT 58%
No breakdown
Right behind unwinding as the most reported reason for taking hemp CBD/ cannabinoid products is physical discomfort. Research indicates that while isolated CBD does not directly act on pain, it does act on some of its sources. When you take full spectrum cannabinoid products, or CBD combined with other concentrated cannabinoids, the ensemble effect of the many cannabinoids and terpenes work in biochemical synergy to reduce discomfort in many ways, some of which have been scientifically elucidated, some which have been observed and experienced but are not yet understood.
GENERAL WELLNESS 48%
Falling asleep & quality of sleep 41%
Overall health 32%
Cognitive support 18%
Mood 5%
Other 4%
Sleep! There are many reasons we sometimes succumb to sleep deprivation or disruption, and all result in diminished mental and physical performance, and overall reduction in quality of life. Grief and loss is never easy, and any accompanying sleeplessness or disturbance of sleep schedule only contributes to the challenge of overcoming. Stress, hormonal changes at any time of life, work and family demands, getting older, medications, pain, and health conditions all affect both the ability to sleep and the ability to achieve quality sleep.
Over 40% of hemp CBD/ cannabinoid users report improvement in sleep quality.
MEDICAL 28%
No breakdown
It’s the Age of Information. Many people with medical issues in their households have the tools and wherewithal to do their own research, and invest the time and effort into taking responsibility for their own health and the health of their families.
Anyone looking for balance and overall wellness support in these areas may benefit from a hemp cannabinoid extract. Studies show that hemp extract oils are used without issue by most people.
How will hemp CBD (or other non-psychoactive cannabinoids) affect me?
Everyone is different, and everyone responds a little bit differently. It depends on individual physiology, metabolism, diet and lifestyle, and your existing health and wellness situation. Most commonly, people feel less stressed, more relaxed and better rested; more mentally focused and less physically uncomfortable. Depending on the formula and ratios, cannabinoid formulas can support gut health, the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular health, immunological balance and cognitive health.
Generally speaking, cannabinoids support balanced, healthy system function.
How much do I take, and when?
Empathica products usually use a 70 mg per ml cannabinoid concentration. This is higher than you will typically find in the marketplace. Rather than expecting you to count mystery drops, we use metered droppers, so you can measure exactly how much you need.
Many people start out with a ¼ dropper twice per day for a total of 35 mg per day, and may later shift to ½ dropper twice per day for a total of 70 mg cannabinoids per day, depending on individual constitution and need for support to effectively achieve their personal wellness goals. We suggest that you continue with your initial dose choice for 4 weeks, and slowly increase your use if needed. Consistent use is the key. It doesn’t benefit you if you don’t use it.
Full spectrum CBD and other hemp cannabinoids are well tolerated and considered safe. As with any other food or supplement, there is a chance that hemp could cause adverse reactions for some people, and/ or could interact with certain medications. As with any dietary supplement, consult your health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant, nursing, have or suspect a medical condition or are taking any medications.
How and when do I use the topicals?
Our topicals are used for recovery from both acute injury and chronic, long-term body, muscle & joint aches and pains. Each one is a little different, based upon the situation, and individual needs. This is an easy entry for people learning about the benefits of hemp, and the formulas we offer include a range of other beneficial plants and oils as well. Our Empathica topical formulas result from 30 years of practice as an herbalist, and represent some of the best-loved, most popular products from our storefront apothecary- now, with the addition of concentrated hemp CBD. These are mighty effective even without hemp, and now they’re super-charged.
