Next stop: SUMMER. Hitting the road towards the year’s hottest season, we can almost hear the sound of festivals, the harmony of waves crashing the beach and feel the sun hitting our skin. Whether you’re obsessed escaping to off-shores or falling for vibrating hot summer city nights, there’s those things that should not be missed in your bag, called essentials. From sunscreen to sunglasses, towels to flip-flops, packing for heatwave days, there is that one thing that surely deserves the must-have title. As it´s us, it might not be surprising that we talk about CBD. So let us show you why CBD should be at the top of your summer bag packing list.
WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK CBD
CBD, or cannabidiol, is the non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce a high or intoxication. However, it does produce some significant medical benefits, including reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and promoting relaxation. During the summer months, the winning goes to helping relieve sunburns, bug bites and other skin irritations.
CBD is also effective in reducing anxiety, promoting restful sleep and managing stress levels. All of which are essential for meeting the summer shenanigans awaiting you. So if you’re looking for a natural way to optimize your health and well-being, CBD is who you should call out for.
As an all-natural remedy that has been shown to be effective in treating the mentioned variety of conditions, it also can be the secret weapon for seasonal allergies. Charming side effects, unlike some other allergy treatments, CBD does not have any major side effects. It is also non-addictive and does generally not interact with other medications. But as for all sorts of medicine, to be on the safe side of things, it is to consult your pharmacist or doctor on possible reactions when combined with other supplements.
ALLERGY SEASON – HOW TO INCORPORATE CBD INTO YOUR TREATMENT
But what exactly can CBD-products do when joining summer rides? With rising heat, allergies are not holding back trying to ruin all things outdoors. Being harmless to most, the immune system of those suffering from allergies confuses pollen with an infectious take over. As a reaction, mast cells release histamines and inflammatory agents, causing symptoms such as itchy eyes and a running nose. But CBD can join forces against the hypersensitivity. Because as shown in a study, it can help prevent cells from releasing histamines into the bloodstream. With its antiinflammatory characteristics, CBD smoothes the irritated sinuses and airways, as shown in another study of 2018. Alpha-pinene, a terpene found in cannabis, plays the key role fighting hay fever symptoms.
C(bd)IAO TO SUNBURNS AND HEAT RUSHES
Summer tans make us nicer people. They should undoubtedly come without sunburns, but who doesn’t know the moment of hunting sun rays without applying the essential protection. So apart from learning out of it to do better, it is to treat the sun linked skin irritation. CBD is a smooth operator and known for its beneficial effects owing to its antioxidant properties. Which makes it a promising treatment to reduce the redness and inflammation associated with sunburns.
Applying a generous amount of CBD Body Oil to the affected area can help to soothe and heal the skin. Also bathing with the addition of CBD Bath Bombs or just adding a few drops of CBD oil to the water for a relaxing, healing soak will give a feeling of little heaven to your stressed skin.
Heat rashes are another summer nuisance. These red, itchy bumps usually appear on the skin when sweat glands become clogged. Relief can be brought by using a cool, damp cloth soaked in CBD topical solution or adding a few drops of CBD oil to a body lotion before applying it to the affected area several times per day.
SCREENING – CHOOSING SUNSCREEN THAT HAS ADDED BENEFITS OF HEMP EXTRACTS
The care taken by adding sunscreen will save the body’s world from burned troubles. So when it comes to sunscreen, it is to make sure to get the best possible product for the skin. And here we go again recommending the version that not only provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, but also having the added benefits of hemp extracts. If not an already infused sun protection product, adding CBD drops does the job. We can share a secret: It will take the friendship with you and your skin to the next level.
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE CRUST… TREATING INSECT BITES WITH CBD
Mosquitos love us. It is a shame it is mostly a one-sided love story. Hot, even more so humid summer nights are an invitation for the little flies to join the party and their bites leave us with little annoying itches. Bees, hornets and wasps are also around for stings. While there are a number of ways to treat the itchy and hurtful papules topically, CBD provides a unique and effective option that is worth considering.
To start with, CBD will cleanse the area and prevent infection. As the natural anti-inflammatory agent, it will help to soothe redness, itchiness and swelling associated. In addition to reducing inflammation, it also has pain-relieving properties and therefore supports in mitigating the discomfort that to times is a side effect of bug bites.
MORE IS MORE – MORE MUST-HAVE CBD PRODUCTS FOR SUMMER
We like you to gear up like MacGyver, so we have more essentials that deserve some attention. Whilst some define their perfect summer entertainment to be neverending beach days, others use the outdoor season for sports. Beach volleyball, tennis, biking, skating… You name it. We name what CBD can do for you (Pushing It Real Good – How CBD can boost your athletic performance). The little miracle will support pain relief and reduce inflammation caused by intensive work out sessions.
Just so your arms are moveable again to carry the picnic basket to the lake side. Whilst you have to prepare the strawberries and cool beverages, we arranged the towels to cozily warm you up after a cold dive in the water. To watch the sun go down and count the stars on clear night skies, our Pillow-Joint will make sure your head is relaxing in style.
And now that the CBD oil is added to the sunscreen, the bags are packed with pillows, towels and our favorite flavor of Capri Sonne, we are hitting the road to the beach. At least some of us, as some are sure here to equip you with all needed for your perfect holiday trip or tan day out. For the once living la dolce vita in Italy this summer, come pass by our store in Naples or Salerno. Or Spain, Croatia and France. We are always happy to share sun rays and CBD stories with you.
