Our product of the month is Arnica Sports Gel with CBD oil.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t heard about arnica or the healing properties of CBD oil, here\u2019s a quick summary from our staff at Organic Elements Spa<\/a> to get you up to speed*<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Arnica <\/strong><\/p>\n Arnica is a homeopathic medicine that is becoming much more widely known in recent days.\u00a0 As a perennial botanical from the family Asteraceae, arnica is an herb with orange and yellow daisy-like flowers native to mountainous regions of North America and Europe.<\/p>\n Traditionally, Europeans and Native Americans harvested the plants and soaked the flowers in water to create a melded poultice that could easily be placed on an injured area.\u00a0 As the practice evolved, alcohol extracts of the plant were made that could be blended into an ointment.<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t until 1981 that German researchers discovered and isolated a compound they named \u201chelenalin\u201d in the plant.\u00a0 They determined it was the helenalin that had anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.\u00a0 Today, arnica in a topical form is commonly used on the skin to reduce pain and swelling associated with bruises, aches, and sprains.\u00a0 (Note: arnica should not be applied to open wounds.)<\/p>\n CBD Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n CBD is short for cannabidiol, a substance naturally found in cannabis and hemp plants.\u00a0 CBD does not<\/em> create a feeling of being \u201chigh\u201d that is often associated with cannabis\u2014in fact, that \u201chigh\u201d comes from a different cannabinoid, THC.<\/p>\n The nerve cells in your body are regulated by the endocannabinoid system, complete with cannabinoid receptors (CB1<\/sub> and CB2<\/sub>) and cannabinoids.\u00a0 In short, this system works together to balance several processes including those that make you feel pain (or not.)\u00a0 Normally, the endocannabinoid system will alert the body when an injury has occurred by creating the sensation of pain, and then alleviates the pain when the injury is tended to.<\/p>\n Sometimes the body is not in balance, and that feeling of pain continues.\u00a0 That\u2019s when CBD comes to the rescue.\u00a0 CBD binds to the CB2<\/sub> receptors.\u00a0 In other words, CBD blocks the part of the endocannabinoid system that is causing the body to continue to feel pain.<\/p>\n Arnica Sports Gel with CBD Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n When combined, arnica plus CBD oil may alleviate pain and discomfort more than either on its own.\u00a0 This combination is kind of like tackling a problem from multiple angles.<\/p>\n Recover with your next challenging workout with ease.\u00a0 Give Arnica Sports Gel with CBD Oil a try!\u00a0 Contact us today<\/a> to find out how to order a bottle, or stop by our Spa in Medford.\u00a0 We are here enthusiastically waiting to serve YOU!<\/p>\n
