WIN one of 3 bottles of CBD oil, worth R1000 each.
I’ve been fascinated by CBD oil for some time now. I know that it’s particularly effective for relieving chronic pain (like osteo-arthritis) and I’ve heard that it is fantastic for neuropathy and can help with diabetes. But I wasn’t exactly sure how, and I didn’t know where to start looking.
CBD Lab is a great place to start. Their CBD oil doesn’t contain any THC, so it won’t make you high, it has been independently lab tested by National Analytical Forensic Services, and the team behind CBD Lab can give you expert dosing advice, which is important because each CBD oil is different.
I was advised to start on 2-3 drops under the tongue, 5 times a day. I decided to be cautious and started with 2 drops, now I’m on 3. I take them before every meal and at night, so I’m only on 4 doses a day, but the idea is to work up gradually till you can feel them working. The first two days I had ‘unicorn days’ – perfect blood sugar all day, which was a real treat. Then I went on holiday and ate unfamiliar food, so things went a little haywire. But I remain cautiously optimistic that my HbA1c will improve because CBD oil helps with homeostasis: returning the body to its natural balance. And I’ve seen a dramatic improvement in pain relief in friends who suffer from chronic pain, so I think it’s an amazing product for those struggling with neuropathy.
About CBD oil
Broad Spectrum CBD LAB Oil is made with an extract that contains all or nearly all of the compounds naturally present in the cannabis plant except THC. This obviously includes CBD, as well as other cannabinoids (CBN, CBC and CBG to name a few), terpenes, flavonoids and much more. This type of CBD extract is ideal for those looking for significant terpene content whilst avoiding trace levels of THC that might be detectable in a drug test. Broad Spectrum extracts contain multiple cannabinoids, they also produce the “entourage effect”, but without the THC.
