How to Choose the Best Quality CBD Infused Honey: Tips and Tricks

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in Foods. No Comments on How to Choose the Best Quality CBD Infused Honey: Tips and Tricks

With CBD oil all the rage in the last few years – and for good reason – it was only a matter of time before another of nature’s superfoods was going to be combined with CBD.

Introducing Down To Earth’s CBD honey! By infusing raw, Australian honey with CBD oil, you not only get a delicious and healthy addition to your diet jam-packed with vitamins and nutrients, you’re also getting all the many benefits of CBD.

Like CBD, honey is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and has been used for thousands of years across a range of cultures as a natural remedy from many ailments and diseases, ranging from pain relief to skin issues and wound healing.

Before we jump into how Down To Earth’s CBD honey can help you, it’s really important that the CBD honey you buy is a quality product.

Tips and tricks for choosing the best quality CBD honey

1. Check the source of the honey

The quality of the honey used in CBD honey or CBD edibles is critical. It’s especially important that the honey is raw, unprocessed and high quality.

Down To Earth’s CBD honey is produced in the world-famous and pristine environment around Byron Bay. Unlike other brands, we’re able to fully quality control the honey because it’s produced in our own backyard. Our bees are happy and healthy – that’s the bees’ knees!

2. Check the CBD content

When choosing a CBD honey, check the CBD content per serving. It’s really important that the CBD honey has enough CBD in it to ensure you’re getting the benefits and desired results.

You only need one teaspoon of Down To Earth’s CBD honey per serve, with 420 milligrams of CBD per jar. This means you’re not wasting money buying large quantities of expensive CBD honey that gives you little benefit.

3. Check the potency of the CBD

The potency of a CBD honey product is essential to determine the honey’s effectiveness. Only buy products that have been tested by independent labs.

All Down To Earth’s products, including our CBD honey, have been tested by independent labs. And because we’re all about transparency, you can find these independent lab reports on our website.

4. Check for additives or artificial flavours

Choose a CBD honey that contains only natural ingredients – avoid honey that contains additives or artificial flavours. A good rule of thumb is if an ingredient list has a bunch of ingredients you’ve never heard of, can’t pronounce easily or contain chemicals listed with numbers, it’s probably not something you want to put into your body.

Down To Earth’s CBD honey contains only three ingredients: raw honey, CBD and reishi mushroom. These mushrooms promote sleep, fight infection and boost the immune system. Combining reishi mushroom with honey and CBD, you’re getting a big hit of antioxidants and relaxation!

5. Only buy from a reputable brand like Down To Earth

Only buy CBD honey from a reputable company that uses only high-quality, all-natural ingredients. And make sure you look at the customer reviews!

At Down To Earth, we only sell premium CBD products. Just ask our customers – we have almost 5000 independently verified reviews with a rating of 4.75/5.

Now we’ve worked out that Down To Earth is the best place to get quality, Australian CBD honey, let’s take a look at how CBD honey may help you.

Is CBD honey beneficial for anxiety?

Yes, CBD honey may be beneficial for anxiety. CBD has been found to alleviate anxiety levels and promote relaxation. Our honey is also rich in nutrients, like vitamins B and C, which can help boost mood and improve overall mental health.

CBD also increases serotonin in the brain and can help decrease cortisol, the stress hormone, further helping with sleep.

Does CBD honey make you sleepy?

CBD honey doesn’t make you sleepy, but it helps with sleep. CBD honey may make you feel relaxed and calm, which can help you fall asleep more easily, thereby helping regulate sleep patterns and your body’s circadian rhythm, which is our natural body clock that is set to a roughly 24 hour cycle.

So, while CBD itself doesn’t make you sleepy, it can help alleviate the causes of insomnia or poor quality sleep, like anxiety or restlessness.

Not so Down To Earth: How Netflix’s ‘Down To Earth with Zac Efron’ has literally crashed our sales

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in General. No Comments on Not so Down To Earth: How Netflix’s ‘Down To Earth with Zac Efron’ has literally crashed our sales

Like everyone else, at Down To Earth we LOVE to Netflix and chill, especially using Down To Earth’s CBD products to really relax and get in the mood!

And we also love Zac Efron. How could you not – I mean Hairspray, right?

But, ​​as much as we love Netflix and Zac Efron, they’ve inadvertently caused a massive crash in our sales. Oops.

You might be scratching your head and wondering how on earth Netflix and Zac Efron have done this?

Well, in 2020 Netflix released a docu-series called “Down To Earth with Zac Efron” that explores important topics such as wellness, nature, sustainability and nature. It’s a great series to Netflix and chill with!

Then, in late 2022, Netflix released season two of “Down To Earth with Zac Efron: Down Under”. While we love anything that showcases incredible Australian landscapes and Indigenous Australians’ voices, unfortunately the release of season two has led to a crash in our sales.

Why is that?

Well, before season two of “Down to Earth with Zac Efron: Down Under” was released, our Down To Earth CBD website came up as the first listing in Australia if you searched “Down To Earth” in Google.

This meant that we were getting a ton of wonderful customers like you landing on our website, looking for our range of premium CBD products.

We rely on word of mouth: for a small, family owned and operated business, there’s no better recommendation for a business than one from a family member or friend. It’s the most powerful way a business can grow a customer base.

It’s not hard to understand why either – you trust your family and friends more than an advertisement or a blog or an influencer.

And having potential customers find our website easily by typing a quick search into Google is critical to our business operations. In fact, around twenty per cent of our business sales happened because customers searched “Down To Earth” in Google.

So when news of season two of Netflix’s “Down To Earth with Zac Efron: Down Under” was released, whenever anyone in Australia searched for Down To Earth, our website was pushed to 45th position.

Yep, that’s right, 45th position!

We all know that if you’re searching for anything on Google, you’re not going to scroll through the 5th page of web results to find the one you want!

So because of this, our business has taken a big hit. As a small business, one that’s family owned and operated, we simply can’t compete with a massive multi-national behemoth company like Netflix.

No matter what we do, it’s just not possible.

And we get it – from time-to-time when new brands are created that have the same or a similar name to already-established brands, there might be some inadvertent brand visibility competition on search engines.

But a twenty per cent drop in sales for a small family owned and operated business really hits hard. Our Down To Earth team is a family – we love and value our team members because without them, we wouldn’t be able to bring you our range of premium CBD products.

Unfortunately, however, if our sales don’t improve, we’ll have some really tough decisions to make.

So what are we asking you to do?

At Down To Earth, we’re incredibly grateful to our customers for your ongoing support. We’ve been able to grow our business and provide secure jobs to our great team of people thanks to you, our loyal customers, who continue to buy our products and recommend us to people in your networks.

And we know our products work. We’re proud to produce only premium quality CBD products that help people with all kinds of issues ranging from anxiety, hormone imbalances or irritable bowel issues to just wanting help relaxing on Netflix and chilling!

We’re also proud of our almost 5000 independently verified customer reviews with a whopping 4.73/5 rating.

So if you love Down To Earth’s CBD products, please help spread the word to your family and friends by passing on our website, sharing our social media pages or just recommending people search for “Down To Earth CBD” on Google.

Zac Efron may have the ability to simply go live in nature and relax, but for most of us it’s not possible with our jobs and lives, though what we can do is turn to the wellness products from Down To Earth to help us find a grounding connection and balance.

With your help, we can keep bringing you and your loved ones Down To Earth’s premium CBD Oils, CBD Gummies, Medicinal CBD balms and CBD Skincare to help you find your slice of peace, calm and wellness.

If you’re wanting to feel the warm and fuzzies, all you need to do is keep supporting our business by stocking up on Down To Earth’s premium CBD products and telling your loved ones about us.

Then all that’s left to do is getting into the zen zone – like Netflix and chilling by taking Down To Earth’s CBD products while you watch “Down To Earth with Zac Efron”!

CBD Gummies for Seniors: How They Can Improve Overall Wellbeing and Quality of Life

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in General. No Comments on CBD Gummies for Seniors: How They Can Improve Overall Wellbeing and Quality of Life

CBD gummies have become increasingly popular in recent years due to the many wonderful benefits they offer, including to older people.

Cannabidiol, better known as CBD, is a compound found in the hemp plant which does not produce psychoactive or “high” effects. CBD has been found to provide many health benefits ranging from pain relief, improving sleep to hormone regulation, making it a great option for older people looking to improve their overall wellbeing and quality of life.

But what is CBD and how does it work in the body?

Before we jump into how CBD gummies can help older people, we need to understand how CBD interacts with the body.

Every person has an endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS influences almost all bodily functions and consists of receptors that are located almost everywhere in the body, from the brain, to bodily tissues and organs, including the reproductive organs.

The ECS influences everything ranging from sleep, appetite, mood and mental health, sensitivity to pain, memory and inflammatory response.

Can CBD gummies help with chronic conditions such as arthritis, Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s disease?

CBD gummies may help older people who suffer from arthritis, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Let’s take a look.

Arthritis

One of the main benefits of CBD edibles is their ability to reduce pain and inflammation in the body. This is especially useful for seniors who experience chronic pain and mobility issues due to conditions such as arthritis. CBD has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can help to alleviate pain and improve mobility – perfect for arthritis sufferers.

Parkinson’s disease

The ECS receptors in the brain and nervous system are responsible for being able to move your body. Therefore, by stimulating these receptors with CBD oil, CBD can help reduce tremors, stiffness and Parkinson’s disease symptoms.

CBD also has neuroprotective properties, preventing or slowing damage and degeneration in the brain. This is particularly important in Parkinson’s disease, where nerve cells in the brain are damaged, leading to Parkinson’s symptoms like tremors.

CBD can also help reduce inflammation in the brain and nervous system. Inflammation is believed to play a role in the development of Parkinson’s disease, and by reducing inflammation, CBD oil can help improve symptoms and reduce the progression of the disease.

Alzheimer’s disease (dementia)

CBD can help to improve cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia. Like with Parkinson’s disease, CBD can help reduce inflammation in the brain which can worsen dementia symptoms and CBD has neuroprotective protective properties that slow degeneration in the brain.

CBD also reduces oxygen buildup, which is linked to brain inflammation. The more inflammation, the more oxygen build up, which means reduced cognitive function such as memory loss. CBD may also reduce or even reverse loss of brain function and memory loss.

Furthermore, CBD is commonly used to help with anxiety, insomnia, poor sleep and pain relief. Because CBD has been shown to help reduce anxiety and agitation which are common symptoms for people with dementia.

Can CBD gummies help with insomnia or other sleep issues

Another fantastic benefit of CBD gummies is their ability to improve sleep quality. As we age, all aspects of sleep become more difficult, leaving many older people struggling with dreaded conditions like insomnia, waking up multiple times during the night or simply waking up feeling exhausted.

Thankfully, CBD has been found to assist in regulating sleep patterns and promoting a more restful sleep, meaning you wake up feeling fresh and full of energy to seize the day.

Are CBD gummies safe for seniors to consume, and do they have any side effects?

CBD is not just considered safe, it’s also not addictive, unlike a number of medications that we need as we get older, like sleep medications or certain pain medications like opioids.

While CBD can cause some mild side effects in some people such as dry mouth, dizziness and drowsiness, these are generally rare, temporary and nothing to be concerned about.

It’s also important to reiterate that CBD is not psychoactive – it won’t give you a “high” that’s commonly associated with cannabis. CBD isolate and broad-spectrum CBD do not contain any THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), while full-spectrum CBD contains only trace amounts of THC, but not enough to get “high”.

Final Thoughts

Before using any CBD product, you should consult your doctor to ensure that CBD is right for you and any medications you’re taking.

At Down To Earth, we sell only premium CBD products, and you can find independent lab reports on our website, or take a look at almost 5000 independently verified customer reviews.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment or contact us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. We’re here to help!

The-Role-of-Full-Spectrum-CBD-Oil-in-Supporting-Womens-Health

The Role of Full Spectrum CBD Oil in Supporting Women’s Health

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in Benefits. No Comments on The Role of Full Spectrum CBD Oil in Supporting Women’s Health

CBD oil has numerous benefits, including to support women’s health. As you’d expect, there’s a ton of information out there on how CBD oil can help men’s health, like improving conditions for erectile dysfunction. On the flip side, there’s less information out there about how CBD oil can support women’s health (no surprises there!).

At Down To Earth, we care about women’s health and we know women have separate and distinct needs. That’s why we want to explain how CBD oil can help women, especially for hormonal health and menstrual issues.

What Is CBD Oil?

CBD oil is a natural supplement extracted from the leaves and stems of cannabis plants. CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) and other neurotransmission systems. The endocannabinoid system is one of the most important regulatory systems in the body such as pain perception, immune and stress responses, hormone levels and the reproductive system.

Types of CBD Oil

There are three types of CBD oil and each has its own specific uses and benefits.

1. ISOLATE CBD OIL

CBD isolate oil contains up to 99% CBD and is the most concentrated form of the cannabinoid. CBD isolate oil is pure CBD oil – it contains no other compounds found in cannabis, including Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound which causes the psychoactive effect or “high” feeling usually associated with cannabis.

2. FULL-SPECTRUM CBD OIL

Full-spectrum CBD oil includes all the cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant, including CBD, THC and many more. This means you get all the benefits of CBD, including THC. But, the low levels in Down To Earth’s full-spectrum CBD oil means you don’t feel “high”.

3. BROAD-SPECTRUM CBD OIL

Broad-spectrum CBD oil is similar to full-spectrum CBD oil but it’s THC-free, which is handy for those whose jobs mean they can’t have any THC in their body or are required to operate machinery. Broad-spectrum CBD oil also gives the benefits of the “entourage effect. This is the synergistic interaction of CBD with other components and phytocannabinoids while avoiding the “high” effects of THC.

Can CBD oil affect female hormones?

CBD may provide relief to women who suffer hormonal imbalances by regulating the levels of certain hormones such as prolactin, cortisol and progesterone.

Cortisol especially is a hormone that can cause issues for people thanks to our hectic modern schedules. Cortisol is the primary stress hormone and high cortisol levels over time can have devastating impacts on the body, which can lead to diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, insomnia, depression and anxiety, and weight gain.

High levels of cortisol can also affect other hormones, like those produced in the thyroid and sex hormones – that means it can impact a woman’s reproductive system, playing havoc with menstrual cycles. Therefore, it’s critical to get cortisol levels under control.

The great news is that studies have shown that CBD oil has been shown to help regulate cortisol. CBD also helps lower blood pressure and support heart health, which can also alleviate high cortisol levels.

Does Full Spectrum CBD oil help with menstrual cycle?

Because CBD oil helps with hormones, and also helps reduce inflammation and chronic pain, it may also help alleviate symptoms associated with menstruation, like the dreaded cramps, headaches, back pain and sensitive breasts.

And what about the many women out there with endometriosis? The good news is that CBD oil can help you too. In fact, in a 2019 study women with endometriosis rated cannabis or CBD oil as the most effective tool to alleviate menstrual pain.

While this study didn’t look at the difference between cannabis (which includes THC) or CBD oil, there is evidence to suggest that CBD oil alone has pain relieving effects and anti-inflammatory properties.

What is the best dosage of Full Spectrum CBD Oil for Women?

With CBD oil, full spectrum may provide the most relief to alleviate menstrual issues or support women’s hormone health thanks not only to the CBD, but also to the small amount of THC and all the cannabinoids found in hemp.

The best dosage depends on a range of factors including body weight, medical conditions, symptoms and desired effects.

It’s best to start with a lower dose – just follow the instructions on the product packaging and gradually increase as you need.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for Australian CBD oil that’s full spectrum, look no further than Down To Earth. We only sell premium CBD products.

Before using any CBD product, you should consult your doctor to ensure that CBD is right for you.

From Acne to Anti-Ageing: How CBD Medicinal Balm Can Improve Your Skin

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in Skin. No Comments on From Acne to Anti-Ageing: How CBD Medicinal Balm Can Improve Your Skin

According to many scientific studies, CBD oil can do many wonderful things. But can cannabidiol contribute to healthy skin and smooth complexion? Can it fight wrinkles and slow down the ageing process?

The great news is that CBD can reduce the signs of ageing. But first we need to understand one thing: why does our skin actually age? 

How the Ageing Process Works

It happens to everyone. At some point, the wrinkles start. And then they don’t stop! Why is that?

Our skin loses its resilience and elasticity as we age. This happens when the body produces less collagen and other proteins. At the same time, the sebaceous glands produce less fat, which draws moisture from the skin and makes it drier.

This is the normal biological ageing process. There are also other factors that can accelerate ageing, such as genetics, as well as environmental factors such as sun exposure, and alcohol or tobacco consumption. An unhealthy diet, low antioxidants and excessive stress also accelerate ageing.

So What Can You Do to Prevent Skin Ageing

The first place to start is to look at environmental factors that you can control, like sun exposure and ensuring you have a healthy lifestyle.

You can also turn to plastic surgery or injectable treatments like Botox. But that’s not very natural.

The great news is that CBD is a natural treatment that fights impurities and leaves your skin looking clean, young and fresh.

CBD, Wrinkles and an Anti-Aging Effect?

CBD oils, as products derived from plants, have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants bind free radicals (chemicals that age your body) and prevent oxidative stress. Antioxidants can counteract the ageing process, reduce inflammation and improve the complexion.

CBD contains very powerful antioxidant properties, perhaps even more powerful than vitamins C and E. This means that CBD cosmetics can help with wrinkles, blemishes and inflammation.

What Types of CBD Cosmetics Does Down to Earth Have?

CBD cosmetics include a wide variety of products such as creams, oils, gels, lotions, serums or balms.

In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology mentions that topical CBD products show potential for lowering inflammation that can contribute to acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Down To Earth is proud to offer a range of premium CBD skincare products, including body balms, lip balms, serums and bath salts, on top of our CBD oils and edibles range.

Today we’re looking at balms. Let’s see how to unlock and activate CBD balm and its benefits for your skin.

What Are the Benefits Of Using a CBD Balm for Skin?

CBD Balms For Acne

Almost all of us have experienced the perils of acne, an inflammatory disease of the skin. Therefore, anything that reduces inflammation and soothes the skin makes sense to help treat acne. This is where CBD balm, with its anti-inflammatory properties, can help.

When you calm acne and reduce inflammation, you minimise pimple formation and reduce redness. Your skin will feel and look better.

CBD Balms For Sensitive Skin

CBD balms can also have a calming effect. This can help with skin sensitivities such as redness and minimise rashes. Studies also show that CBD can reduce excess sebum (oil) production in the skin’s pores.

CBD Balms For Eczema And Psoriasis

CBD balms can also assist with a range of other inflammatory skin issues such as eczema and psoriasis.

Down to Earth’s Range of Soothing Balms

Down To Earth has a great range of CBD topical balm for many skin issues and types of skin.

Our Bliss Balm – German Chamomile soothes your skin with phytocannabinoids that work together with German chamomile, apricot kernel and the softening attributes of macadamia.

Our Active Balm – Arnica and Juniper is fabulous for those with an active lifestyle. A CBD muscle balm, the phytocannabinoids working together with muscular and joint pain-reducing oils like Arnica and Juniper.  Aches from exercise, sport, sport injuries and sprains can be relieved effectively.

Finally, our Repair Balm – Angelica and Geranium contains phytocannabinoids and terpenes naturally occurring in cannabis to help treat chronic skin issues such as eczema and psoriasis, or just stressed and irritated skin.

How Often Should I Apply CBD Balm to My Skin?

The great news is that you can use CBD balms as often as you need.

Final Thoughts

While CBD is generally safe, you should patch test any CBD skincare product to ensure it works for you.

Before using any CBD product, you should consult your doctor to ensure that CBD is right for you.

So what’re you waiting for? Get a CBD topical balm today. Or why not try our Balm Trial Pack to see which is your favourite. We only sell premium CBD products, and you can find independent lab reports on our website, or take a look at our customer reviews.

CBD Isolate VS CBD Distillate: Which One Should You Choose?

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in General. No Comments on CBD Isolate VS CBD Distillate: Which One Should You Choose?

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of many cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa plant.

Even though CBD comes from a plant, it cannot simply be picked and used. Instead, hemp, a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant known for its high CBD and low THC content, is harvested and processed to obtain the CBD oil.

But you might be asking yourself, what’s the difference between cannabis isolate vs distillate? What about CBD distillate and isolate? Can you isolate CBD oil safely? Well, read on!

What Is CBD isolate?

CBD isolate is CBD oil in its purest form, with a CBD content of 99% (or higher). The process used to make CBD isolate is that it removes all the ingredients responsible for the flavour and smell of hemp. This means that the CBD isolate has no taste or smell.

Does CBD Isolate Contain THC?

No, CBD isolate does not contain THC. In fact, a true CBD isolate does not contain any cannabinoids (other than CBD) or other compounds found naturally in hemp, including terpenes or resins.

The Potential Benefits Of CBD Isolate

Studies have shown that CBD oil contributes to better sleep quality, better management of certain types of pain, and the ability to relax more easily. These are just a few of the many potential benefits of CBD and, consequently, the reasons why people seek out CBD isolate products.

How to Use CBD Isolate?

Before using CBD isolate, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

The science behind efficient use of CBD is complicated. The rule of “the stronger the better” does not apply to CBD isolate, and some people may get greater benefit from lower doses.

CBD isolate can be combined with a carrier oil (such as coconut or hemp oil) to create CBD isolate oil.

It can also be used in various topical products, such as moisturisers, relaxation gels, nourishing balms, in food or in vaping. 

What Is CBD Distillate?

CBD distillate is a thick liquid that contains many compounds found in the cannabis plant. The consistency resembles that of honey or maple syrup. It can be brown, yellow or orange.

The distillate is what is left of the hemp plant after the extraction process has been done, and all harmful ingredients have been removed. CBD distillate contains CBD and all other cannabinoids that can be found in hemp.

CBD distillate is also used to make CBD isolate. After further processing of the CBD distillate, the individual compounds (such as CBD) can be isolated, creating CBD isolate.

CBD Isolate Vs Distillate: What’s the Difference?

CBD isolate and distillate are two very different things. For example, broad-spectrum CBD distillates can be used to extract CBD isolate, but a CBD distillate can never become a CBD isolate without further processing.

CBD isolate is CBD in its purest form. It does not contain other chemical compounds (such as terpenes or other cannabinoids) which can also be extracted from the cannabis plant.

CBD distillate, on the other hand, contains CBD and other cannabis-derived ingredients. However, it will not have any unnecessary or harmful components, such as solvents, heavy metals or moulds.

Which Is Better: CBD Isolate or Broad-Spectrum CBD?

The answer to this depends on how you use the product and why.

CBD isolates are perfect for people who may be intimidated by the idea of ​​using hemp-derived products, or for those who undergo rigorous drug testing at work (such as professional athletes or defence force personnel), as both broad-spectrum oils and full spectrum oils may cause a false positive.

So, what are the benefits of broad spectrum oils? Well, have you heard of the “entourage effect”? It is a phenomenon (explained well in a 2020 study) where CBD, when consumed with other compounds found in the cannabis plant, works better and gives better results.

This is because CBD may be able to work in harmony with these other compounds, amplifying the beneficial effects. This supports the theory that broad-spectrum CBD may be more beneficial than CBD isolate.

Final Thoughts

Now we know the difference between cannabis distillate vs isolate, you need to decide if it’s right for you. While CBD is generally safe, it may still cause some side effects, including nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness or low blood pressure.

Before using any CBD product, you should consult your doctor to ensure that CBD is right for you.

So what’re you waiting for? Check our Down To Earth’s products. We only sell premium CBD products, and you can find independent lab reports on our website, or take a look at our customer reviews.

The Science Behind Broad Spectrum Oils: How They Work and Their Potential Benefits

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in General. No Comments on The Science Behind Broad Spectrum Oils: How They Work and Their Potential Benefits

So you’ve heard of CBD oil. Your friends swear by it. Your fave celebrities rave about it. It’s all over the news and social media.

Maybe you’re a bit curious about CBD oil products and how they might help you. But it can be confusing to understand exactly what CBD oil is, what it does, the different types and its uses.

Maybe you’ve even heard of broad spectrum CBD oil. But what does that mean?

Never fear! At Down To Earth, we’re here to help you understand about CBD oil and how it can improve your life.

What Is CBD Oil and How Does It Work?

Before we jump into what broad-spectrum CBD oil is and how it works, we need to understand how CBD affects the body.

CBD oil has a high concentration of cannabidiol, meaning you only need a small amount of oil to get the same benefits found in larger amounts from other CBD products.

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and other neurotransmission systems. The endocannabinoid system is one of the most important regulatory systems in the body and regulates, among other things, memory and cognition, pain perception, immune response, mood, emotional states, stress response, hormone levels, the reproductive system and the intestinal microbiota.

The ECS has receptors to which cannabinoids bind and modulate to produce particular effects. The main CBD receptors, CB1 and CB2, are interspersed throughout the body.

CBD oils can be used in several ways: inhaled or vaped, topically or under the tongue.

Types of CBD Oil

Now we know what CBD oil is and how it works in the body, what about the different types of CBD oils?

There’s three types of CBD oils – CBD isolate oil, full-spectrum CBD oil and broad-spectrum CBD oil.

1. CBD Isolate Oil

CBD isolate oil is pure CBD, containing up to 99% CBD. It is the most concentrated form and the most adaptable, meaning it can be used in a variety of ways.

If you take CBD isolate you will not get the psychoactive effects of THC, but you will still get all of the other potential benefits of CBD, which include its ability to reduce anxiety, improve mood and relieve pain.

2. Full-Spectrum CBD Oil

Full-spectrum CBD oil includes all the cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa plant, including CBD, THC and many more.

Full-spectrum CBD oil is a good option for anyone looking for all the benefits of CBD, including THC. This means that you will also consume trace amounts of THC as a result, but not enough to experience the psychoactive effects – the “high”.

3. Broad-Spectrum CBD Oil

So you’re probably asking, what are the benefits of using broad spectrum CBD oil?

Broad-spectrum CBD oil is similar to full spectrum oil but is THC-free, making it an excellent choice for those who want the benefits of CBD combined with other components obtained from the extraction of the whole hemp plant, but without the psychoactive effects of THC – without the “high”.

This is great for people who can’t have any THC in their system, such as people who operate heavy machinery, drive for work, or who have a job where you could be drug tested.

Remember: even people with medicinal cannabis prescriptions cannot consume products with THC and still do things like drive a car with THC in their system.

That’s why broad-spectrum CBD oil is fantastic: you get all the benefits of CBD oil without having to worry about THC in your system.

Furthermore, broad-spectrum CBD oil is an excellent product for those seeking the benefits of the entourage effect, which is where cannabinoids work synergistically – cannabinoids working together with each other and many other compounds within the plant such as terpenes, flavonoids and resins – so that you get the most benefit from the oil.

With a broad-spectrum CBD oil, you get all the other benefits of hemp oil extracts, like those mentioned above for full-spectrum CBD oil.

You might also be asking, is broad spectrum CBD oil safe to use for people of all ages?

Yes! But you should always consult your doctor before you start using CBD oils, depending on what you’re using CBD oil for, your medical conditions and any medications you’re on.

Final Thoughts

Before using any CBD product, you should consult your doctor to ensure that CBD is right for you.

CBD and Eczema - Down To Earth

CBD and Eczema: Treat It With CBD!

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in Skin Conditions. No Comments on CBD and Eczema: Treat It With CBD!

Do you suffer from dermatitis or skin conditions? If that’s you, CBD may be able to help.

CBD is particularly useful for combating skin disorders and skin inflammation, such as eczema.

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a common non-infectious, inflammatory skin disorder. It often appears in children and can become chronic.

One problem with eczema is that it can be confused with symptoms of regular inflammation. Among these are itching, and reddening and peeling of the skin.

Eczema: The Causes

Eczema doesn’t have a single cause. Causes may vary from one person to another. This means it can also be difficult to treat.

Eczema may have genetic or environmental causes such as allergens, or it can also be caused by mental/emotional factors such as stress.

Eczema’s causes alter the affected person’s skin barrier and can modify the metabolism of lipids (fats) found on the surface layer of skin. The result is that the skin becomes rougher, irritable and very dry.

The immune response is also important. People with eczema show an exaggerated reaction of the defence system against allergens, emotional stress, smoke, pollution, particular clothing or excessive sweating.

The genetic component is also an important factor. In most cases, the condition occurs in children whose parents suffer or previously suffered from eczema.

Eczema can also be caused or exacerbated by dehydration of the skin due to the interaction of an enzyme and a particular type of fat (Omega 6), which in people without eczema ensures the correct functioning of the skin.

Therefore, every form of eczema and its underlying causes should be diagnosed individually.

The Benefits of CBD

CBD may counteract eczema thanks mainly to its anti-inflammatory properties.

To treat eczema, it’s recommended to use a CBD cream or oil. Cannabis extract improves the immune system and strengthens the defence cells in such a way as to better fight allergens and bacteria.

A CBD skin care product is particularly useful when used on irritated, dry skin or skin that has symptoms of dermatitis. In most cases, it can give instant relief.

The cannabinoid PEA has also been shown to reduce itching, redness and flaking, decreasing the formation of eczema by 60%.

Scientific Studies

While there have been few studies into the effectiveness of CBD to treat skin conditions, the available research is promising.

A 2020 study showed that CBD ointment is very effective in reducing itchiness and soothing inflamed skin, and can also help improve sleep in people with dermatitis.

Another study published in 2022 found that hemp seed products were extremely effective in managing dermatitis, psoriasis, acne and other skin conditions.

So if you want to buy the best hemp cream Australia has to offer to help with your skin conditions, it’s only available via our Down To Earth store.

Is It Safe to Use CBD for Dermatitis?

The debate about the safety of CBD products is pretty well over. Study after study has shown that it’s generally safe to use for skin conditions including dermatitis due to the incredible anti-inflammatory properties of CBD products – they can reduce itching and redness and relieve pain.

However, before using any CBD skin care product, we recommend you consult with your dermatologist to determine suitability for your specific situation, especially if you suffer from any skin conditions.

In addition, before buying any hemp cream Australia has, or CBD skin care products online, make sure that the store sells only premium products and is trustworthy, like Down To Earth.

You should also always patch test CBD skin care products to a small area unaffected by skin conditions to ensure you don’t have any unwanted reactions.

If you notice any redness, itching, or swelling, stop using the product and consult your dermatologist.

After the first patch test, you should patch test the affected area before applying it to larger affected areas.

Although it can be tempting to put a new topical treatment on your skin, especially if you’re desperate to get some relief from your skin condition, it is really critical to complete the double patch test on unaffected skin and then on affected skin. Conditions such as eczema, which can have a number of causes depending on each person’s individual and unique circumstances and genetics, may react differently to various treatments. At Down To Earth, we want to ensure that you’re experiencing only positive effects from any of our products.

Final Thoughts

Topical CBD products have many forms such as creams, lotions, oils, and balms. CBD might be effective in fighting skin conditions, increasing skin strength and protecting skin against future flare-ups.

Patients with eczema or any other skin condition can benefit from the previous effects.

At Down To Earth, we sell only premium CBD products. All of them are tested by independent labs to ensure their quality and purity. You can find these independent lab reports on our website.

CBD and Alopecia - Down To Earth CBD Oils

CBD and Alopecia: CBD Counteracts Hair Loss?

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in Benefits. No Comments on CBD and Alopecia: CBD Counteracts Hair Loss?

All of us shed between 50 to 100 hairs per day. However, if you’re shedding more than that, it can become a problem and lead to permanent hair loss.

More than half a million Australians suffer from hereditary hair loss or alopecia.

Alopecia has many causes including:

  • Hormonal changes from menopause or giving birth
  • Medical conditions such as chronic stress and thyroid problems
  • Genetics
  • Trauma, both emotional and physical.

Constant hair loss usually indicates an underlying medical problem. In this case, you should consult a dermatologist to find out the cause of your hair loss.

There are many treatments for hair loss, but many have negative side effects.

Enter: CBD. CBD is an exciting new trend in hair loss treatment.

CBD can improve hair growth, strengthen hair, limit its fall and help keep the scalp in perfect shape. CBD is especially effective in treating Alopecia if the main causes are stress or anxiety.

CBD and Alopecia

CBD can counteract Alopecia due to the presence of amino acids, fatty acids and antioxidants.

These help to keep the hair strong and healthy, as well as to reduce its sudden fall.

In fact, amino acids don’t just help strengthen the hair and hair follicles (the part that “sinks” into the skin) but they also improve and increase the presence of red blood cells.

Increasing red blood cells is fundamental for hair growth since they supply oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles. Better circulation means hair will be healthier overall.

In addition, antioxidant such as vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, slow down the ageing of the hair and protect it from free radicals (toxins) that cause hair to fall out.

Finally, the presence of Omega 3 and Omega 6 (essential polyunsaturated fats) increases the blood supply, and therefore oxygen and nutrient supply, to the scalp.

Scientific Studies

According to several studies, CBD is a great treatment of Alopecia and common baldness. The studies show very promising results.

One of these studies was carried out on 35 subjects; 28 men and 7 women suffering from androgenetic alopecia (progressive thinning of hair caused by androgen hormones).

The researchers gave the patients a hemp extract containing 3-4 mg of cannabidiol (CBD), once a day for six months.

The results were exceptional. In fact, there was an average increase in hair growth of 93.5% compared to the six months before the start of the clinical trial.

The areas with the greatest regrowth were those of the scalp vertex (the crown of the head), which obtained better results than the temporal (side scalp) areas.

The male subjects also had a greater regrowth than the female subjects.

How Effective Is CBD for Hair Loss?

The effectiveness of CBD on hair regrowth depends mainly on the dosage. The above study showed excellent results, but it’s only one study. More research is required. The results may vary from person to person, including the underlying cause of hair loss, gender, age, family history and many other factors.

What’s the Best Way to Use CBD for Hair Loss?

CBD oil seems the obvious choice when it comes to hair loss since you can apply it topically. However, you can also buy cannabis edibles or full-spectrum CBD products.

What Are the Side Effects of Using CBD for Hair Loss?

CBD is generally safe for most people, according to the WHO. However, the quality of the products is critical and varies between manufacturers.

At Down To Earth, we only sell the best CBD oil and CBD edibles Australia has to offer. Just ask our customers! All our products are also tested by independent labs that ensure their quality and purity. You can find these independent lab reports on our website.

CBD may have several side effects including:

  • Fatigue
  • Diarrhoea
  • Weight gain/loss
  • Appetite changes

CBD products may also interact with certain medications. That’s why you should consult your doctor before using cannabis products, especially if you have any medical conditions or are on medication.

Final Thoughts

Hair loss is a common problem that may be treated with CBD products. You can buy CBD edibles online or try a topical CBD product. However, if you’re going to buy the best edibles Australia has, or any other CBD product, make sure you buy premium products from a trusted manufacturer, like Down To Earth.

CBD and Hyperhidrosis - Down To Earth CBD Oils

CBD and Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Written by michaelcs on . Posted in General. No Comments on CBD and Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where a person sweats excessively. The excessive sweating can be generalised, meaning it occurs all over the body, or localised, meaning it involves particular body parts. Localised excessive sweating can happen anywhere, but is most common on the soles of the feet, palms of the hands, armpits, face, chest or groin.

Hyperhidrosis can have repercussions on social or work life. For example, if you do manual work or work which requires precision, like a surgeon, or even just due to embarrassment – offering a sweaty hand to another person during a handshake or sweating through your clothes.

Over time, situations of this type can become a source of stress and can have a negative impact on the quality of life, even causing depression and anxiety.

Hyperhidrosis may be caused by a disease, depending on its causes, and can be classified as:

  • Secondary:Due to underlying diseases such as obesity, neoplasms, diabetes, hyperthyroidism.
  • Primary:Without an obvious cause. Primary hyperhidrosis affects about 5% of the population, can occur at any age and affects men and women equally.

What Treatments Are Currently Available?

Hyperhidrosis can be difficult to treat. Excluding the causes of secondary hyperhidrosis, the current treatments for primary hyperhidrosis are medical or surgical. Medical treatments such as antiperspirants containing aluminium salts, localised injections of botulinum toxin A (botox), iontophoresis and prescription of anti-anxiety medication or tranquillisers, are only temporary, with the risk of causing severe adverse reactions (irritation, burning, allergic responses).

The surgical approach is reserved for the most serious cases. There are two main surgical options – either the removal of the sweat glands or Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (interruption of the nerve fibres that stimulate the sweat glands). However, they may not be conclusive and/or may cause serious side effects such as compensatory hyperhidrosis or reflex hyperhidrosis (increased sweating in other areas of the body, especially the back).

CBD and Hyperhidrosis

According to recent studies, CBD, one of the non-psychoactive phyto-cannabinoids in cannabis, may represent a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. In fact, researchers have found that daily intake of CBD, especially a full spectrum CBD, can lead to the complete elimination of excessive sweating in patients (with its reappearance within a few days of discontinuing treatment) and a consequent significant improvement in quality of life.

It’s known that CBD, in addition to having anti-inflammatory, analgesic (in the case of muscle pain, for example), and anti-epileptic properties, also has anti-anxiety effects in both humans and pets.

Furthermore, CBD facilitates serotonin neurotransmission, commonly known as the “feel-good hormone”. In this way, CBD could exert positive effects on anxiety levels and emotional states which subsequently affect the appearance of local hyperhidrosis.

A Case Study of CBD and Hyperhidrosis

A recent case study published in the Einstein (São Paulo) Journal in 2022 showed the effectiveness of CBD in the management and treatment of hyperhidrosis.

The person was a 43-year-old man who has been suffering from hyperhidrosis since adolescence. He tried most of the recommended pharmacological treatments. However, none was effective in treating the condition. They also caused serious side effects.

The patient was unable to work under pressure. Before any stressful situations at work, the patient had an increased heart rate, excessive sweating, anxiety and laboured breathing. The researchers provided him with 300 mg of THC-free CBD, one hour before work, on top of a regular 50 mg daily CBD dose

The patient was able to greet people normally without the need to dry his hands regularly.

The study continued for several months. The patient kept taking 50 mg of CBD daily. When he decided to stop taking CBD, the condition returned after a few days. After that, he decided to continue the CBD therapy. Since September 2019, he’s been taking 50 mg of CBD, two times per day and his excessive sweating is now under total control.

Final Thoughts

CBD, especially full spectrum CBD, could be the optimal solution for hyperhidrosis. Other studies show very promising results. However, more studies are needed to determine whether CBD products can be used as a treatment.

Of course, you should consult your doctor before taking CBD for hyperhidrosis, especially if you have a medical condition or take any medications.

If you’re looking for a store to buy the best full-spectrum product Australia has to offer, Down To Earth is the answer. You can buy full spectrum products in addition to any other CBD products.
