About Me

Streamlining Your Company

There aren't many things that make me mad, but when it comes to running a company, few things are more frustrating to me than lazy employees. A few months ago I started keeping closer tabs on my workers, and it became immediately clear that there were some team members that didn't care at all about things like productivity, saving money, and doing the right thing. I wanted to do something to correct the situation, so I started honing our processes, holding more team meetings, and perfecting the processes. This blog is all about streamlining your company and making things right.

Tips For Those New To Using CBD Products

by Elmer Johnson

For many individuals that suffer from long-term or chronic conditions, CBD products can be an invaluable symptom management tool. Unfortunately, some patients may be misinformed about the option of using CBD products to achieve their health goals, and this can make it much more difficult for them to effectively utilize these products.

Is CBD The Same As Medical Marijuana?

There is a common assumption among some patients that CBD is the same as medical marijuana. While this can be an understandable assumption, it is not based in reality. CBD products will typically be created using hemp plants. These plants will be fairly rich in CBD while having only trace amounts of THC. This can allow the CBD products to deliver the results that you are needing without containing the psychoactive chemicals that are a hallmark of marijuana.

How Will You Know Which CBD Product Is Best For Your Needs?

When a person is first considering the use of CBD, they may be shocked at the variety of products that are available. For example, there are CBD products that are designed to be smoked, eaten, or even applied topically. In order to know the product that will be the best for your needs, you will have to consider the types of effects that the products will offer. Edible products will take longer to show effects, but it will typically be a much longer-lasting option than inhaled products. Topicals can be an excellent source for those that have issues or pain near the surface of the skin. The topical will be able to bind to receptors in the skin, which can help to give relief for a number of common conditions.

How Should You Apply Topical CBD Products?

Topical CBD products can be among those that individuals may have the least experience using. As a result, it can be common for there to be some mistakes that could hinder the overall effectiveness of the CBD topical product. Prior to applying these products to your skin, you should thoroughly clean the area where it will be applied. Oils and dirt on your skin can actually prevent the CBD from being absorbed, which can reduce the effects that you may enjoy. Additionally, the skin should be thoroughly dried before applying the topical. In the case of transdermal patches, this will ensure that the adhesive remains effective. For lotions or salves, this will avoid situations where the water dilutes the CBD or otherwise prevents it from being absorbed.
