CBD Infused Massage Therapy: Should You Try It?

Written by cannaisseur on November 9, 2017. Posted in Benefits For Men & Women, Health-Related Conditions, Skin & Body Care, Stress Relief.

The hottest buzz in the spa world is the benefits of CBD infused products and massages. CBD is Non-Psychoactive and Anti-inflammatory. Massage creams and oils infused with CBD, are inherently therapeutic for the mind and the body. Massage therapist and patients alike can reap these soul soothing benefits of an infused massage.

What role does CBD play in the massage?

The anti-inflammatory and pain relieving agents of CBD reduces inflammation within muscles and joints, allowing the massage therapist to work more effectively. People seek massages as a way to relax and escape stress. For athletes, CBD also has the reputation for accelerating the recovery and healing process of injured connective tissue.

How CBD works?

The CBD receptors (known as CB2) are part of the endocannabinoid system, which is the physiological system that helps the homeostatic functions within the central nervous system. This includes maintenance of bodily functions, pain, inflammation, and the immune system.

CB2 receptors are found in nerve and immune cells in just about every organ. CBD binds to CB2 receptors as well as TRPV1 receptors. Damaged tissues sensitize TRPV1 to its chemical and physical stimuli. Adding massage further benefits the stimulation of TRPV1 activity and has a positive influence on the CB2 receptors, which helps alleviate inflammation and pain.

Will my massage therapist or I get high from this treatment?

No! CBD is the non-psychoactive compound of the cannabis plant. Even with low levels of THC, there is no high and subjects being drug tested after a CBD infused massage have tested negative for THC which is why professional athletes use these products.

Yes, try a CBD infused massage and experience the benefits!

It’s important to discuss these common questions and misconceptions to further the development of medicinal cannabis and its positive benefits. Relationships such as massage therapy and cannabis are just the beginning of cannabis’s role in our everyday health.

Endocannabinoid System – Part 1

Written by cannaisseur on September 1, 2017. Posted in Benefits For Men & Women, Health-Related Conditions, Stress Relief.

As a pioneer in the cannabis industry, Cannaisseur Brands goal is to educate other about cannabis and its medicinal benefits. The most significant ingredient in our products, of course, is premium cannabidiol (CBD), a natural compound that has the ability to improve your physical health from the inside and out.

But why does CBD have such a positive reaction with our bodies? And how can it benefit us in so many ways? Well, the simple answer is: The endogenous cannabinoid system, otherwise referred to as the Endocannabinoid System (ECS).

How was the ECS discovered?

In the mid-1990s, an Israeli researcher Dr. Raphael Mechoulam discovered two main receptors that connect to both the endocannabinoids that our bodies naturally produce and plant-based cannabinoids like THC and CBD. These two receptors are known as cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptors.

The breakthrough of these receptors required working backwards, tracing the metabolic pathways of THC that led scientists to discover the unknown molecular signaling system that exists inside thousands of biological lifeforms.

What is the role of the ECS?

Rightfully named after the plant that aided in its discovery, the endocannabinoid system is a physiological system that controls and cares for your health. Endocannabinoids and its receptors can be found throughout the body, in the brain, organs, glands, and connective tissues. This system is actually responsible for helping maintain many of our bodily functions. It plays a crucial role from our immune system to our nervous system and because endocannabinoids are often found at intersections of our bodies’ various systems, it ultimately acts as a bridge between the body and the mind.

How does CBD benefit you?

The medicinal benefits that come from the proper use of CBD are seemingly limitless given the current science! CB2 receptors are mainly found in the immune system that binds with CBD and work as an anti-inflammatory agent for our body. There are immune boosting functions of CB2 that are activated by the proper use of CBD, which includes moderating the intoxicating effects of THC (aka psychoactive or high).

We hope we’ve answered a few of your questions on just why our products have such a positive impact on different aspects of your physical health. Stay tuned for more about the science behind our CBD products and how it can help with your specific needs!

CBD and Your Beauty Regimen

Written by cannaisseur on June 18, 2017. Posted in Benefits For Men & Women, Stress Relief.

CBD is a natural and therapeutic compound found in the cannabis plants and is non-psychoactive. A patent by the U.S. National Institutes of Health shows CBD to possess significant antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.

In our previous posts, we’ve reported on the benefits of CBD for skin conditions of psoriasis and acne, but have you ever considered using cannabidiol (CBD) in your weekly beauty regimen?
A recent clinical trial reported in medicalmarijuanainc.com reported on the effects of a cannabidiol (CBD) facial serum and the feedback was astounding:

100% found an overall improvement in skin appearance following two weeks of treatment
85% of the women reported an improvement after the first seven days of treatment
100% of the women said they noticed an improvement at the end of the 14 days of treatment
80% of the participants specifically noticed an improvement in skin texture
80% of the women reportedly noticed an improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth

Closer to home, we found remarkable results with some of our customers. One customer in particular, Carla, used our CBD products and reported a marked improvement in her skin texture. Here is Carla’s account of using our product:

“I received a sample of CBD Essentials Whipped Cream and I decided to try something different. I have chronically oily skin and I used the Whipped Cream as face mask 2-3 times a week. After about a week, my skin texture and complexion improved dramatically. My skin is no longer visibly oily, and I don’t have to blot my face every few hours to avoid this embarrassing condition. Years ago, I used Accutane for severe acne. One of the side effects from this resulted in chronically dry lips. I have tried just about every lip product out there and nothing has seemed to heal my dry lips, and in fact left them drier than before. A few months ago, I began using Aryn’s Essentials CBD lip balm. I started off using it everyday and my lips dramatically improved. I’m a lifelong believer and advocate of CBD and will be using Aryn’s Essentials for years to come”.
– Carla, 22 years old

Made from premium ingredients, our CBD products are a perfect option to use for your beauty regimen. With its multiple benefits, it can be used as a daily moisturizer, sunscreen or a weekly face mask! Yes, that’s right, you can pamper yourself! Just lather it on so it’s thick enough for a mask and leave it on for 10 minutes and wipe off with a warm washcloth. You will see and feel the difference immediately!

Treating Acne with CBD

Written by cannaisseur on April 30, 2017. Posted in Benefits For Men & Women, Skin & Body Care.

Acne vulgaris is the most common human skin disease, affecting the quality of life of millions worldwide. In fact, in the United States, acne affects up to 50 million Americans annually according to the American Academy of Dermatology. The costs associated to treat acne exceed $3 billion.

Acne is characterized by the outbreak of pimples, as well as blackheads, whiteheads, that generally appear on the face, neck and back. These symptoms, whether of genetic, hormonal, or infectious origins, are mainly caused by an excessive secretion of sebum also known as sebocytes. Typical treatments consist of oral antibiotics which can be taxing on your body, or expensive creams, which can be taxing on your wallet.

Cannabis, specifically, CBD may be the answer to treating acne. While THC is known to increase oil production, CBD has the exact opposite effect. With acne, the body over-produces oil. This oil is known as sebum, and it’s excreted by the sebaceous glands in the skin.

Dr. Tamas Biro, a Hungarian scientist, decided to put CBD to the test. He wanted to see how the CBD interacted with the natural endocannabinoids our own bodies produce. Endocannabinoids help regulate hair growth, oil production, and immune response in the skin and play a major role in determining how much sebum is produced in the skin. When Biro applied non-psychoactive CBD to these skin cells, he noticed that oil production stopped.

Another study focused on the impact of cutaneous cannabinoid system and CBD on acne. The results concluded that when cannabidiol was used on sebaceous glands (which secrete an oily sebum, which can result oily skin and/or obstructed pores), the proliferation of sebocytes decreased significantly. The study further concluded that CBD has potential as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of acne vulgaris and exerts universal anti-inflammatory action.

CBD based topicals are the easiest and most cost-effective way to administer CBD for the treatment of acne. In an era where many mainstream topicals are filled with harmful ingredients such as parabens and sulfites, CBD is plant based with zero side effects. Cannaisseur Brands offers premium, organic CBD in multiple applications including creams, oils and tinctures.

Using Cannabis For Psoriasis Relief

Written by cannaisseur on April 30, 2017. Posted in Benefits For Men & Women, Health-Related Conditions, Skin & Body Care, Stress Relief.

Using Cannabis For Psoriasis Relief

Psoriasis is a painful, itchy and burdensome skin condition affecting 7.5 million Americans today. Up to 40 percent of people with psoriasis experience joint inflammation that produces symptoms of arthritis. This condition is called psoriatic arthritis.

There is no cure for psoriasis. Usually when someone is diagnosed with psoriasis they are treated with a pharmaceutical based cream from their doctor with the warning that the condition can come back at any time and relief is temporary. Or in more severe cases, conventional pharmaceutical drugs used to treat psoriasis are typically systemic immuno-regulating agents that involve many side effects such as fever, diarrhea, liver dysfunction, and increased chance of infection.

Because psoriasis is caused by problems with the immune system, cannabis is an especially effective treatment. The cannabinoids in cannabis respond to CB1 and CB2 receptors located in the endocannabinoid system of the human body and are concentrated in the brain/central nervous system and the immune system.

Cannabis infused topicals are able to treat numerous skin conditions including psoriasis relief. Cannabis, specifically cannabidiol (CBD) effectively deals with the significant cause of this skin condition while avoiding the negative side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. Furthermore, CBD based topicals do not produce a psychoactive effect and are safe to use.

A study conducted in 2007 and published in the Journal of Dermatological Science determined that cannabinoids help prevent the buildup of dead skin cells and other symptoms of psoriasis. Concluded the researchers: “Our results show that cannabinoids inhibit keratinocyte proliferation, and therefore support a potential role for cannabinoids in the treatment of psoriasis.”

A Satisfied Cannaisseur Brands Customer

Over the course of three months, a Cannaisseur customer began using Aryn’s Essentials Massage Oil on her legs that have been plagued with psoriasis for decades.

Farm to Skin: Sourcing CBD for Cannabis Infused Topicals

Written by cannaisseur on April 30, 2017. Posted in Benefits For Men & Women, Health-Related Conditions, Skin & Body Care.

As cannabis infused products are flooding the marketplace – from vape pens to edibles to topicals – it’s important to know the source of the cannabis used in products that you consume.

Lately, there’s an increased incidence of tainted batches of cannabis popping up on the market. Banned pesticides are being used by growers, and as a result, consumers are becoming ill. According to The Globe and Mail, it was reported that a group of veterans are amassing a file of evidence detailing illnesses after exposure to tainted cannabis products. Their symptoms allegedly include becoming bedridden, nausea and breathing difficulties.

In Colorado, for example, companies are supposed to voluntarily destroy tainted cannabis. If they don’t, the state will destroy it, according to a policy statement issued by the Colorado Departments of Agriculture, Public Health, and Revenue. Currently, there are no federal guidelines on pesticide use on cannabis.

Cannaisseur Brands embodies the farm to skin movement in all aspects of our production cycle. Our premium, organic CBD is sourced directly from our strategic growing partners. We have direct access to the farm, workers, and laboratory processing for our cannabis infused products.

Furthermore, we undergo strict quality control measures to ensure that all batches of CBD used in our products are tested for pesticides, microbial (yeast, mold, mildew), and residual solvents. Our open door policy affords us the ability to share our lab testing results with anyone!

We guarantee that CBD Essentials is a safe, reliable and therapeutic product that delivers the best cannabis therapy on the market.
