We often hear the question, “Can CBD be beneficial for me even if I’m healthy?” In short, YES!
CBD works by interacting with the human Endocannabinoid System (ECS), the system in the body responsible for promoting and maintaining homeostasis. The ECS is commonly referred to as the “master regulator” within the body and plays a huge part in the coordination of numerous bodily processes.
Research shows the the endocannabinoid system can influence the following:
- Appetite
- Digestion
- Inflammation
- Immune response
- Pain
- Mood
- Memory
- Motor control
- Sleep
- Stress
- Bone health
- Muscle development
- Reproductive function
- Cardiovascular function
- Skin health
- Nerve function
CBD helps these systems and functions work at capacity, giving you a better overall feeling of wellness and also acts to prevent future health issues. So, even if you’re in the best shape of your life, have no physical ailments and live a life without major stresses, you can still benefit from CBD.
Read on to find out more about how CBD helps healthy people live even healthier lives.
How CBD Benefits Healthy People
Even the healthiest thing of persons face challenges in every day life. One of the greatest things about CBD is that it can help with just about everything that comes your way.
Sleep
Almost 80% of patients with anxiety and sleeping problems reported a decrease in their issues after including 
CBD into their daily regimen. In a 2019 study published in The Permanente Journal 72 adults underwent CBD therapy for about a month and the vast majority found improved sleep. The results lasted for the entirety of the trial.
People have been utilizing cannabis for years as a means to get a good night’s rest but using broad spectrum THC-free products (Purelix Wellness!) offer benefits without the mind-altering elements found in marijuana. CBD also provides additional benefits while you slumber, like taming inflammation and correcting digestive functions. Our CBD and Melatonin Softgels pair two natural elements to give you restful nights.
Skincare
CBD is now being used as an ingredient in many beauty products, including everything from hair products to skin creams. CBD can help treat a number of skin conditions, like psoriasis and eczema and is even found to 
reduce the signs of aging. Because CBD inhibits the production of oils in the skin it is also an excellent anti-acne medication.
A person’s skin is often viewed as a reflection of their lifestyle and can reflect diet, adherence to exercise, and stress levels. As a rule, those with healthy lifestyles will have good skin. However, just because you’re a healthy person doesn’t mean you’re protected from skin eruptions, rashes, or wrinkles. CBD-infused creams and salves work wonders for the skin, and can reduce the risk of these skin diseases and maladies. CBD is now an ingredient in cleansers, masks, moisturizers, serums and lip balms. These phytocannabinoid-rich skin care products are said to be extremely effective in maintaining and creating the healthy and flawless skin that everyone wants. CBD’s incredible regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties help create and maintain smooth, comfortable, clear skin.
Situational stress and anxiety
Even if you are one of the lucky few who live a mostly stress-free existence, situational feelings of anxiety and stress are bound to happen to even you (Hello, 2020!). For times when those unexpected feelings of worry come on, the best and most natural way to handle your symptoms is with CBD. A lot of people rely upon CBD oil for 
it’s convenience and rapid benefits. Other individuals take CBD Everyday Softgels typically as an everyday wellness supplement, for a more gradual way of keeping feelings of anxiety at bay.
Outside influences, especially during these uncertain times, can take a toll even on the most even-tempered and calm individuals. It must be mentioned that CBD is also used by countless who suffer from general anxiety. Adding CBD to a daily routine helps in the moment but also, over time, users usually feel an overall decrease in stress and apprehension. Indeed, many people who suffer from anxiety use CBD in addition to prescribed anxiety and/or depression prescription medications. NOTE – Always speak to your doctor before beginning a CBD regimen if you’re currently taking prescription medication for anxiety or depression.
Pain
According to a Gallup poll taken in August of 2019, around 14% of Americans report using CBD products with most of them doing so to relieve pain. Another recent poll found that:
- 79% surveyed were “currently” using CBD at the time of the poll, have used it in the past or were considering using it
- 29% report they were “currently” using CBD to manage their pain
- Daily use was reported by 63% percent of those “currently” using CBD and 26% used it several times per week
- Of those surveyed, 62% used a liquid form of CBD and 55% used a topical product they applied to their joints
More importantly, of those who were using CBD to manage this pain, approximately 75% reported that it was either effective or very effective in relieving several symptoms.
- 67% report improvement in their physical function.
- Over 30% say it provides relief from morning stiffness and helps get them moving.
- Three-fourths report improvements in their ability to sleep (71%).
- Over 30% say it helped relieve symptoms of fatigue
Whether it’s joint pain from running, gut inflammation from eating something spicy, or non-chronic headache pain, even the healthiest of people experience some pain and inflammation from time to time. CBD is recognized as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant. People experiencing mild pain/inflammation have complimented CBD as being an effective remedy. If it’s back, shoulder, or joint pain you’re experiencing, you can go straight to the source with CBD Sports Cream which targets the inflamed area directly.
If it’s internal inflammation you’re experiencing, ingesting CBD could work, so try rubbing CBD oils or topicals on your abdomen. For everyday headaches, lots of people have found relief after rubbing CBD into their temples. This natural remedy usually starts working in as little as 10 minutes! The cannabinoid works from the inside out, as well as the outside in!
Travel
If you suffer from motion sickness when you’re on a car ride or taking a flight, CBD could be your saving grace. 
Cannabis is commonly used for cancer patients because of it’s anti-nauseating properties, so CBD is ideal for those with sensitive stomachs or digestive issues. You already know CBD helps with anxiety and sleep, which are common symptoms for travelers. CBD is definitely worth looking into, whether you are a globetrotter or just need it for your daily Uber rides.
Happy pets, happy pet owners!
According to the American Pet Products Association, we spent an estimated $75 billion (yes, with a “B”) on our pets in 2019. Of that amount, $16 billion was spent on over-the-counter medicines. How much was spent on CBD, you ask? Well, in 2018 pet owners spent about $31 million on CBD products for their animals and in 2019, that number increased 946% to $321 million!!!! We think you’ll agree that an increase of that size is an indicator that the products purchased are working, and working well.
As Americans are discovering that benefits of CBD for themselves, so are they passing those benefits on to their four-legged companions. CBD helps pets by supporting calm dispositions, joint and connective tissue health and topicals help ease skin allergies and irritations. Purelix Wellness offers a whole line of tinctures, chews and topicals formulated especially with your pets in mind!
But what do the experts say?
Although there are recent laboratory studies and preliminary reports showing promising results and highlighting CBD’s safety and pain-relieving effects, well-designed studies that offer solid medical evidence simply don’t yet exist. It logically follows that there is no rock solid conclusion regarding the effectiveness of CBD not because it doesn’t work but simply because definitive studies haven’t yet been undertaken and the resulting data isn’t yet available.
Final thoughts…
- CBD can benefit even the most healthy individuals in a variety of ways
- CBD can reduce anxiety, help pain, sleep, and more
- Those interested in trying CBD can try it using one of our Sampler Packs
- Broad spectrum CBD products are non-psychoactive so don’t produce the “high” that is associated with the consumption of cannabis
