If you’re a fitness enthusiast who desires to achieve a muscular physique, then the herbal remedies might help workout recovery. Natural healing takes into account the holistic well-being of your body as well as mind. Not only does it alleviate the physical symptoms, but it also takes care of the mental sphere.

One of the best natural remedies to instill fitness and enhance the body-building process is cannabis. Also, it boosts the muscle recovery processes and helps you stay in shape. From the cannabis extracts to reliable supplements, you must try them all to build more muscle.

Here are the top benefits of cannabis to boost muscle build-up and maintain the salubrity without any hassles:

1.   Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Do you experience severe pain and redness all over the body after an intense workout? If yes, then you might consider the anti-inflammatory aids. High-intensity workout sessions lead to excessive muscle fragmentation and micro-injuries. Along with this, it initiates a cascade of inflammatory reactions triggered by the cytokines. All these factors lead to muscle soreness and painful sensations after the exercise. Further, it might also hinder your workout goals for the next day.

Cannabis extracts contain endocannabinoids that interact with your endocannabinoid system. Also, it stimulates the CB1 & CB2 receptors and counters the inflammatory pathways. As a result, you experience relief from soreness, injuries, and after-workout pains in no time. You might use the Diamond Concentrates and achieve the utmost relief from inflammatory reactions.

2.   Curbs Muscle Spasms

Fitness enthusiasts often utilize the benefits of supplements and natural remedies to curb the muscle stress. During the workout, you are likely to go through frequent bouts of spasms and involuntary movements. These are the abrupt and uncontrollable jerks in one or more muscle groups. In case you experience such twitches much more than usual, make sure to look out for a reliable therapy.

Cannabis extracts show promising results to curb muscle spasms and movements. Also, it stimulates the vanilloid receptors and induces proper neuromuscular pathways. As a result, you are less likely to undergo muscle spasms, especially after the exercise.

Not to forget, cannabidiol present in the cannabis plant aids in neuromuscular coordination. Further, it alleviates the soreness and helps you workout without any hassles. Don’t forget to try out the various modes of administration to find out the most suitable one.

3.   Improves Sleep Quality

Most of the people experience trouble sleeping due to a variety of reasons. Around 20% of people suffer from insomnia and related symptoms all over the globe. Also, it leads to some severe effects that impair your daily life in no time. Some symptoms like lethargy, headaches, and confusion occur due to lack of sleep. Also, it reduces your body’s ability to recover.

If you’re a fitness enthusiast on your journey to build more muscle, then you must seek natural treatment to enhance your sleep quality. Some effective natural therapies like cannabis aid in proper sleep quality as well as duration.

The potent chemicals in the extracts accelerate the functions of the pineal gland in the brain. Also, it leads to an increase in the levels of melatonin hormone and rectifies your biological clock. You are likely to achieve a refreshing and consistent sleep cycle with the help of cannabis supplements.

4.   Alleviates Stress Levels

Another reason behind the deceleration of muscle build-up is frequent stress and other psychological disturbances. In case you’re unable to gain muscles even after intense workout sessions, then you might need to work on your mental health.

Some psychiatric ailments like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), hinder the muscle cells’ replication and workout recovery processes. Along with this, it might reduce neuromuscular functioning and cease the muscle fragmentation aspects. With potent holistic therapies like cannabis, supplements might alleviate the stress without any hassles. Also, it works on your 5-HT receptors and increases the production of serotonin neurotransmitters.

As the neurotransmitters increase, you experience a sense of well-being and comfort. Along with this, it reduces the stress reactions arising from the neurological processes. All these factors contribute to top-notch mental health and accelerate muscle gain.

5.   Boosts Endurance & Stamina

One of the most crucial things for a better workout session and faster muscle build-up is endurance. With a higher stamina level, you can perform for longer durations at the gym. Further, it increases the energy levels and enhances the stamina without any hassles.

If you experience constant weakness and lack of motivation, then you might be low on the stamina. Try to develop a higher endurance by consuming immune-booster foods and develop strong stamina. Also, you can use the cannabis tinctures to get rid of the tendency to procrastinate and increase the energy levels. Cannabis is high on the endocannabinoids that boost your ability to perform on a physical level.

Also, it stimulates the CB1 & CB2 receptors of the body and accelerates the immune responses. All these factors increase the stamina levels and provide an extraordinary ability to workout. However, you must try out the different products meant for increasing fitness and workout recovery.

Final Verdict

Fitness is all about a regular workout and a nutritious diet consistently. You are less likely to achieve a muscular physique without consistent efforts and dedication. Along with these immune-boosting foods, you require the top-notch supplements to accelerate your stamina.

Make sure to use natural therapies like cannabis and related extracts to enhance your workout performance. It increases muscle workout recovery and induces the anti-inflammatory effects on your body. Not to forget, cannabis extracts also keep the muscle soreness and related troubles under control. You might experience better stamina and get rid of the everyday stress with the help of cannabis products and supplements.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.

At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy... At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy...
This is a huge victory, especially for POC in Nevada who were unfairly targeted by police and arrested due to this legal loophole despite legalization of this plant.
The ACLU sued the Nevada Pharmacy Board & won the case. An additional judgement on whether or not the board should regulate the plant at all any more is coming in future weeks.
Still waiting for @Potus to legalize on the Federal level. What are we waiting for?
