Pain Relief for Body and Mind, or Why CBD and CBG Work Best Together?
Hemp (cannabis) contains more than 100 different cannabinoids, but we will focus on only two of them - CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol). It is these, especially in the form of medical hemp oils , that are very popular for their effects. What is the difference between them and how can they help you?
Cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system
A complicated system of cannabinoid receptors is found throughout the body (brain, skin, organs) of all humans, but also animals. This is called the endocannabinoid system and is very important for our health . It maintains the natural balance of the organism's internal environment, which is needed for many bodily functions such as digestion, reproduction, sleep quality, mood and others. It is also important to know that our body produces a certain form of cannabinoids itself (endocannabinoids). They subsequently bind to the mentioned receptors. It is interesting that, in addition to the cannabinoids that the body creates, those from hemp also fit into the receptors , and what's more, they have beneficial effects on us and our body.
CBD and its effects on our health
The main ability of cannabidiol is to slow down the excretion of cannabinoids produced by our body. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive . On the contrary, it can reduce the psychotropic effects of THC and is generally a very good helper for calming the mind, suppressing fear and other unpleasant emotions, calming ADHD/ADS and reducing the occurrence of epileptic seizures. It is used in psychiatry for these effects. However, it can do much more. It supplies energy, reduces pain , has anti-inflammatory effects and supports the vascular system.
The effects of CBG on our mind and body
Cannabigerol (CBG) makes up about 1% of the whole cannabis plant and, like CBD, also has no psychotropic effects. It is referred to as the so-called stem mother cell , because all other cannabinoids are formed from it . The use of CBG reduces the pressure in the eyes, therefore it is a promising aid in the treatment of glaucoma . It also supports the proper functioning of the brain , nervous system and bone growth, helps with nausea , digestive problems and inflammation, and also improves sleep .
Harness the power of CBD and CBG at once
CBD or CBG oil can be bought separately, but also together, where you can use the benefits of both cannabinoids together in one bottle of oil . And that's exactly what we focused on at Mindflow and produced an oil that offers the benefits of CBD and CBG in one - Mindflow CBD +CBG oil . The main effect is calming and relaxation , which is also behind all the other positive effects of the oil, such as reducing stress , improving depression , sleep - if you can't fall asleep due to stress, learning - if you are distracted during it and ADHD . In addition, CBD and CBG together have other effects on our health – they support immunity, stimulate appetite and relieve nausea.
We recommend starting with one drop per day and gradually increasing the dosage until you find your optimum. This usually amounts to 3 drops a day 3 times a day (in the morning, during the day and in the evening), but for some, less drops are enough.
