Cannabidiol, a cannabis compound also known as CBD, is high on the popularity charts. It shows several amazing health benefits that make many users want to try it and add it to their lifestyle. 

You may find a huge line of products, ranging from beauty bars to dog edibles that contain CBD as an ingredient. CBD gummies are also a popular choice and CBDfx offers CBD gummies that make CBD ingestion delectable.

The many benefits of CBD oil for yoga

Many users often wonder about the potential uses of CBD when it comes to various self-care practices. Some of the users claim it to be particularly beneficial to their fitness practice routine. Many yoga practitioners around the world are adding CBD oil into their daily practice.  

1. Sustain Poses

During a yoga practice, you are required to follow a series of postures one after the other. As you progress in your practice, some of the postures get difficult to sustain. It requires a great deal of flexibility and holding a pose for several minutes can leave you feeling sore. This is where the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD come handy.

You can go for the topical application of CBD oil to get instant relief from an affected area. CBD is also a natural way to mitigate pain so rather than resorting to a pain killer, you can consume CBD oil in the form of a tincture oil.  

2. Increased Mindfulness

Your brain consistently takes care of multiple body activities. It controls several physiological functions throughout the day and does not cease working even when you’re asleep. Sometimes the burden of managing cognitive functions, thoughts, memories, activities internal, and external is too much for the brain. This nonstop chatter does not let the brain rest and you may lose focus during a session.

Gladly, CBD can help calm down this overactivity.  By ingesting CBD, you can be mindful of the practice and perform better by being attentive towards the instructions. It can also increase your focus for a better mind-muscle connection, thus you can gain the maximum benefits with each yoga practice. 

3. Manage Anxiety

While yoga focuses deeply on managing stress, sometimes the initial practice sessions can be confusing. Deep relaxation can work reversely by bringing out memories to people who faced previous traumas and stress. These feelings eventually settle as you get into daily practice. But the initial phase can be tormenting and stressful. Studies reveal that CBD helps manage stress and post-traumatic stress disorders. Therefore, combining CBD with yoga can conveniently help release stress-related issues.

4. Prolonged Happiness 

Pranayam and Shavasana relax our bodies and mind bringing an influx of happy feelings. Practices embodying creative visualization and positive imagery can increase happiness and release high dopamine levels in our system. Therefore, you may feel a wave of happiness during and immediately after the sessions.

To make those feelings last, you can make use of the CBD. While CBD may not directly increase the dopamine levels in your body, it plays an important role in increasing brain capacity to absorb dopamine. With better dopamine absorption and the capacity to waive off stress, CBD can be a great yoga partner. 

5. Aid Digestion 

Yoga means a change in lifestyle. To yield maximum benefits, many practitioners choose a vegan diet or quit their life long food habits. This sudden change can take a heavy toll on their digestive health. The anti-inflammatory properties in CBD can help manage several digestive issues.

Too much food before a session can be troubling, therefore it’s advised to keep your stomach light while practicing. CBD can also help to manage this issue. It can increase food satiety, thus with the use of CBD, one can practice without overeating.

6. Better Sleep 

Performing any physical activity that requires strength and stamina requires an energy-filled diet backed by proper sleep. Sometimes the exertion from an intense session interferes with our sleep. The lack of sleep can work against you in many ways. It means less muscle recovery and hampered brain activity.

Chronic sleeplessness can harm your overall health, leading to severe stress issues and impaired heart functions. It’s pertinent to get proper sleep each night unless you want exertion to take a heavy toll on your health. CBD is a natural sleep enhancer that is also helpful in restoring deep sleep cycles. It reduces stress in your system by minimizing dreams.  

CBD with yoga: final thoughts

Pairing CBD oil with yoga is a wise choice. It objectively takes care of all body requirements such as providing a restful sleep and better digestion. It also helps to manage brain activity so you can tread fast and have a stable path to good physical and mental health.

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.
Want to learn more, including what many of these terms mean? Check out my books (including Vitamin Weed) & courses via the link in my bio.

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?
