CBD for Pets

Written by admin@gotechark.com on March 26, 2020. Posted in Uncategorized.

Just like us, our furry friends have an endocannabinoid system (ECS), a central regulatory system that plays an essential role in establishing and maintaining health.

When the ECS is disrupted things can fall out of balance. Luckily, the cannabinoids found in full-spectrum hemp extract can help regulate the ECS.

How does it work?

Pets have cannabinoid receptors found throughout the body and brain. These receptors work on pain, mood, appetite and inflammation which help restore normal balance and homeostasis. And just as CBD has helped humans, your pets can reap the same health-boosting benefits.

CBD may help pets who suffer from separation anxiety or noise phobias

CBD has been extensively studied for its effect on stress and anxiety. Its shown to be great in pets for separation anxiety and situations like thunderstorms and travel. CBD can give your pet relief from these symptoms also. Pacing, Trebling, Loss of appetite, nervous actions.

CBD can protect the nervous system and help with neurodegenerative diseases

For dogs suffering from degenerative myelopathy and other spine and nerve issues, CBD shows a lot of promise. It’s been shown to help patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease by protecting the brain cells from toxicity. For senior dogs, CBD has been shown to protect the brain from cell death caused by free radicals and toxins.

CBD can increase appetite and help with nausea

If you have trouble getting your dog to eat, CBD may help. The National Cancer Institute reports that CBD increases appetite and carries this extra benefit, in addition to controlling other cancer-related issues. In animal studies, CBD has also been shown to help with vomiting and nausea, even when they’re the result of toxins and drugs.

The COVID19 virus is wreaking havoc on our world both economically and socially. During these trying times there are many ways for us to combat the spread of the virus as well as cope with it socially.

There are a few proven ways we can prevent the spread of the virus as well as limit our chances of getting it. Some of the most important are frequent hand washing, using hand sanitizer often (especially after touching surfaces used by the public), and keeping our hands away from our eyes, mouth, and nose which are the known entry ways of the virus into our bodies.

There are also many unknowns abouth this virus that induce fear in the population .Unknowns such as running out of food and water, no income from losing a job, and just being afraid of catching the virus and the consequences from it fuel these fears. These fears lead to anxiety, and coupled with the isolation of being trapped in your home from people being quarentined is not good for ones health and well being.

So what do we do? There are many Psychologist who will tell you things like staying focused on what you can control and thinking about the positives of the situation. There are many breathing techniques you can do as well as regular exercise for your body. One other thing I use and my pateints have had great success with is using CBD. Consistant use of CBD is well known for its calming effects as well as inducing a feeling of well being.

There are many ways to use CBD to help with anxiety and stress. one way is using CBD at night to help with getting a good nights sleep. Getting a restful sleep helps you wake up refreshed as well as supports a healthy immune system which is invaluble right now. Another useful way is taking CBD Gummies during the day to keep the stress away. Its a nice treat and will give the added boost needed to keep anxiety at bay. There are also CBD Bath Bombs which are my favorite. What better way to relax than to take a hot bath with you favorite music, and having the CBD relax your mind and body. CBD Bath Bombs also have great scents which further enhances the experience so you go to be relaxed and ready for a good nights sleep.

Whatever your way is to stay healthy and feeling well during this time, we hope you stay safe and stay positive.

CBD and Covid-19

CBD will not cure COVID-19, but here are a few notes from our pharmacist that might help you during this time.

As COVID-19 continues to spread across the world, many people start asking their healthcare providers questions about how to prevent or even cure this scary virus. Both on my website and in my retail pharmacy, I have had patients looking for ways to prevent contracting this virus. Truth and accuracy are crucial when dealing with such a critical illness.

CBD and Hemp do a lot of great things for the body and for our general health, but unfortunately, preventing or curing COVID-19 is not one of them. CBD has some antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties, but at this time there is no research to back its effectiveness. Anyone claiming that CBD can prevent or cure COVID-19 is not telling the truth.

While CBD cannot prevent or cure COVID-19, it still continues to provide many health benefits for people all across the world. One useful benefit is the fact that CBD helps the body to have a healthy immune system. This can be an invaluable advantage at this time when you need to be your strongest.

Right now, the best practices I can tell my patients is to frequently wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, keep your hands away from your face, mouth, and eyes, and try to avoid large crowds, I also suggest carrying a small hand sanitizer and using it after touching surfaces used by the public like gas station pump handles and ATMs.

Lastly, we all need to pray for a swift end to this deadly virus, and a future cure. We all need to think of others because we all have to work together to end this. I want to thank all my customers and patients for their patronage and if anyone has any questions please feel free to email me or use the question box at the bottom of my website.

Thanks
Dave RPh.
