CBD Flower to the Rescue – CBD Explained to the Elderly

It may be difficult for an elderly individual to believe that CBD is good since it is in any way associated with cannabis. That is understandable because cannabis, by and large is marijuana, at least that is how it has always been explained. So to be clear, hemp is only one branch of the cannabis family and it is the branch that is non-psychoactive so does not give any type of high. 

 

CBD Flower to the Rescue – Old Age Explained

Getting old is inevitable and so are all the ailments that come with it. And medical conditions that continually deteriorate are the name of the game in those golden years.  It may become more difficult to swallow tablets and remembering to take them, as well becomes a challenge.  CBD offers a natural easy to swallow alternative that is also plant based. 

 

The bigger problem with pharmaceuticals is that they also generate a great many side effects that can be worse than the ailment. There are a variety of CBD products from a tincture to consume as a few drops under tongue or a CBD oil capsule easily swallowed a couple times a day. The CBD-infused gummies are delicious and dissolve easily under the tongue. Or infuse your cup of tea or coffee with CBD and dose that way. 

CBD Flower to the Rescue – The Endocannabinoid System Breaks with Age

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a system made up of a multitude of receptors that work in connection with neurotransmitters. They are to keep the body healthy and working properly. But when sickness happens, disease ensues and environmental toxins attack our body’s otherwise healthy system, health is disrupted. 

CBD has a unique way of interacting with our body’s ECS to restore health, mitigate pain and much more. Of all the good things to be said about CBD, remember, it is not magic, but it is a natural compound that has the potential to restore health.  By this time in a Baby Boomer’s life, he or she has tried a great many of pharmaceuticals and may be disenchanted with their ineffectiveness or the plethora of negative side-affects.

Wounds that will not heal are also a problem when you have diabetes. CBD is a great healer administered by way of the skin. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and has ECS receptors. This means that when you “dose” through your skin it is very effective. Dr. Strains CBD has CBD infused lotions that can be effective in promoting healing to stubborn wounds.

Arthritis 

Arthritis is about a variety of things. There is more than one arthritis but the one we will discuss is osteoarthritis because it is the type that develops with age. Our joints get an unfathomable amount of wear and tear as we live our lives. Then add in if we carry extra weight for any number of years, that submits another stressor to our weight bearing joints.

CBD can alleviate arthritic pain by applying lotion to that joint or by taking edibles from Dr. Strains CBD like CBD oil capsules or CBD infused gummies. 

Diabetes and Neuropathy

Diabetes may be the most common condition to appear in the senior years and it has main side implications that really will make your life, not only miserable, but with dangerous complications. Besides always being on the lookout for glucose spikes and the consequences of that. Sugar makes the blood thick so that the blood flows slowly, particularly to your extremities like your legs and feet. This neuropathy is painful and dangerous.  

CBD is known to reduce inflammation and increase circulation so that the neuropathy can be alleviated. Yes, CBD can restore balance even to a body that is aged so that an individual has a better quality of life.
