We are all very familiar with honey.
We take it and give it to our children when we or they have a cold, or used it to sweeten our tea. Some of us have served honey-glazed chicken, fish or ham for dinner. We ate Honey Grahams or Honey Nut Cheerios or Honey Bunches of Oats or Bit-O-Honey candy bars. It was great to pour over pancakes, French toast, oatmeal, or a bowl of fruit and nuts. Honey has always been a part of our lives, and a honey bear has been a constant fixture on our shelves.
CBD, on the other hand, is the “flavor of the day.” Since it surged into the public consciousness out of nowhere a few years ago, we now have CBD gummies and candies, CBD bath salts, CBD lip balm, even CBD doggie treats. And CBD stores have popped up on every other street corner.
One is a lifelong favorite and the other is the new kid on the block. What in the world could honey and CBD have in common?
In truth, quite a bit. They’re both readily available, they’re both easy to consume – and most importantly, they each provide important health benefits.
CBD honey is exactly what it sounds like — honey infused with CBD.
If you haven’t yet heard of CBD-infused honey, be prepared to be very excited. It’s one of the hottest trending items in the world of CBD, offering yet another way to benefit from this cannabinoid that the world has gone crazy for.
Both honey and CBD contain their own unprecedented wellness-promoting potential. When combined together, they make a pretty powerful mixture that offers a sweet way to meet your wellness needs. Here we’ll take a look at some of the benefits of both.
The Health Benefits of Honey
Aside from every mother’s heartfelt belief that it can calm sore throats and treat the common cold, it’s common knowledge that natural honey – particularly raw, organic honey – is good for you.
-
Honey is rich in antioxidants: Compounds in honey like polyphenols and organic acids contain as many antioxidants as many vegetables and fruits. They protect the body against free radical damage which can contribute to diseases like cancer, while also helping to lower blood pressure.
-
Honey is an antibacterial and antifungal agent: The hydrogen peroxide and phytonutrients in honey are believed to boost the body’s immunity and cancer-fighting abilities.
-
Honey is a powerful prebiotic: It supports the important “good” bacteria which live in the gut, and as an antibiotic it helps fight “bad” bacteria that cause stomach ulcers.
-
Honey is heath-healthy: Studies have shown that consuming small amounts of honey can reduce bad LDL cholesterol while raising good HDL cholesterol, while also lowering triglyceride levels and increasing blood flow to the heart.
Honey can suppress coughs: But your mother’s been telling you that for years.
Those are more than enough reasons to add at least a spoonful of honey, preferably Raw and Natural Honey to your regular diet. But why stop there?
The Health Benefits of CBD
CBD can provide noticeable pain relief: Cannabinoid receptors interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is involved in the reduction of inflammation in the body and regulating important functions and reactions like immunity, sleep and pain. Widely-varying types of pain caused by serious medical conditions like cancer and arthritis, and chronic medical conditions like migraine and fibromyalgia, respond positively to the introduction of CBD into the body.
CBD can relieve stress and anxiety: It’s an effective alternative for those who use prescription medication for depression and anxiety, in conjunction with a doctor’s advice.
CBD may help those with neurological diseases: Tests have been positive for the use of CBD to treat patients with diseases like multiple sclerosis and epilepsy.
CBD is being tested, with positive initial results, for other medical issues: Research indicates that high blood pressure, heart disease, serious mental disorders like schizophrenia, diabetes and even cancer may respond well to treatment with CBD.
How Does CBD Honey Help You Sleep?
Fatigue: Fatigue is a common side-effect of introducing CBD into your lifestyle. CBD relaxes muscles, relieves pain, and even helps minimize anxiety, so you'll likely feel incredibly relaxed and even tired.
Anxiety: once relaxed you find that one of the common issues of having an "active-brain" and the anxiety it brings about has subdued. Allowing your body to activate your own and naturally sleep.
Stress: CBD honey has a tendency to not only open the gate to your own natural sleep, but the sleep is said to be considerably deeper and more restful. Allowing you to not only be able to get the relaxation you need from the stresses you have come across earlier that day, but to re-charge your "batteries" and wake up fully rested and refreshed.
