As the winter season unfolds, your body may crave a little extra care to handle the chill, manage seasonal stress, and maintain overall well-being. Learn how CBG, (a natural hemp compound) can play an important role in your daily routine and improve your health and wellness.
Cannabigerol (CBG) is gaining recognition as a powerhouse cannabinoid with a wide array of health benefits. Often dubbed the “mother of all cannabinoids” because it is the precursor to other cannabinoids like THC and CBD, CBG has unique properties that make it a valuable addition to your wellness routine. Unlike THC, CBG is non-psychoactive, which means it won’t get you “high,” but it may provide a range of therapeutic effects that support overall health. Here’s why you should consider incorporating CBG into your daily routine.
1. Supports the Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is crucial for maintaining balance in the body, regulating a wide variety of processes such as mood, sleep, appetite, pain, and immune function. CBG plays an essential role in supporting this system. By interacting with both CB1 and CB2 receptors, CBG helps to optimize the ECS’s functions, potentially promoting emotional stability, better sleep, and improved physical well-being. Research suggests that CBG’s ability to enhance the functioning of the ECS can help regulate the body’s internal systems, which is key for supporting overall wellness (López-Moreno et al., 2018).
2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Chronic inflammation is linked to numerous health problems, including autoimmune diseases, joint pain, and even heart disease. CBG has demonstrated impressive anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that CBG works by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are proteins that play a major role in the inflammatory process. Whether you suffer from arthritis, IBS, or other inflammation-related issues, incorporating CBG into your daily routine may offer significant relief (Borrelli et al., 2015).
3. Boosts Mood and Reduces Anxiety
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and CBG may offer support in managing stress, anxiety, and depression. CBG interacts with the serotonin receptors in the brain, which play a role in regulating mood and emotional responses. Research has found that CBG acts as a natural anxiolytic, reducing anxiety without the sedative effects associated with other substances. This makes it an ideal addition to your routine if you're looking to improve emotional well-being and promote a sense of calm (De Mello et al., 2018). CBG OIL - MOOD SUPPORT
4. Neuroprotective Benefits
CBG has shown promise in protecting the brain and nervous system, offering neuroprotective benefits that may be particularly valuable for individuals suffering from neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease. CBG may help to preserve cognitive function by preventing oxidative stress, which is a key contributor to nerve cell damage. Furthermore, studies have shown that CBG may stimulate the growth of new neurons, aiding in the regeneration of brain cells and potentially improving cognitive health (Esposito et al., 2014).
5. Antibacterial Properties
A growing body of research suggests that CBG possesses antibacterial properties, which could make it an effective tool in fighting bacterial infections, particularly those caused by antibiotic-resistant strains. In one study, CBG was found to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus (staph), a bacteria known for its resistance to many common antibiotics. The potential of CBG as a natural antibiotic could offer a safer alternative to traditional antibiotics, especially as the threat of drug-resistant bacteria continues to rise (Malfatti et al., 2021).
How to Incorporate CBG Into Your Routine
Now that you understand the many benefits of CBG, you may be wondering how to add it to your daily wellness routine. CBG is available in several forms, including tinctures, capsules, topicals, and edibles. Many people prefer edibles like gummies as they provide a more convenient option. Tinctures, offer fast absorption and onset of effects and typically are a lower cost per serving. Start with a low dose (10mg) and gradually increase as needed to find the optimal amount for your body.
Organic Green Roots CBG tinctures are full-spectrum and deliver a moderate (20-25MG) dose per serving. As with all cannabinoids, there is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Feel free to expiriment with your dosing by lowering or increasing by 5-10 mg per day until you find your optimal dose.
Whether you're looking to enhance your mood, reduce inflammation, or protect your brain health, CBG is a versatile cannabinoid that can help support a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
By adding CBG to your daily wellness routine, you're tapping into its full potential to enhance your overall health and well-being.
