STEP 20 – STRESS AND THE BRAIN

broken image

In addition to affecting other parts of the body, stress also takes its toll on the brain.

 

There are many different ways that brain health is affected. Stress has a negative effect on brain cell production, brain cell health, and the neurotransmitters, and also impacts memory and cognition.

 

If stress is not properly managed, and lasts for too long, permanent damage may be done to the brain that can negatively impact a person later in life.
 

Many are discovering the amazing benefits of CANNABINOIDS and how they work within the body. Cannabinoid receptors, also known as CB receptors, affect many physiological processes such as appetite, mood, memory, and even pain.

 

This popularity has led to many people seeking out Cannabidiol, or CBD oil, that is extracted from the cannabis plant. After much research on CBD, many oils on the market lack purity and have just a fraction of the oil present in the batches tested. CBD also lacks in affecting the CB receptors directly in the body.

 

Hemp oil contains high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, which mostly interacts with the CB 1 receptors which impact the brain and central nervous system. Research has shown that, while they impact the CB 1 receptors and can help with the nervous system and even our body's response to pain, THC also produces psychoactive effects.

 

Our company does not stand behind using oils that affect the brain in such ways. Instead, we focus on Essential Oils that affect the CB 2 receptors and have clear therapeutic benefits through Beta Carophyllene with no psychoactive effects on the brain. These CB 2 receptors influence our Endocrine and Immune systems.

 

Essential Oils with carophyllene include Melissa, Black Pepper, Ylang Ylang, Clove, Helichrysum, Juniper Berry, Oregano, and now our newest oil, COPAIBA.

 

This new oil is a unique blend of four different varieties of COPAIBA that increase potency and responses with the CB 2 receptors. This special and unique Essential Oil is only available through our company.

 

COPAIBA Essential Oil is derived from the resin in the COPAIBA tree, which is found in tropical South America.

 

Similar to Black Pepper Essential Oil, COPAIBA can help soothe anxious feelings. Taken internally, COPAIBA Essential Oil supports a healthy cardiovascular, immune, digestive, nervous, and respiratory systems. COPAIBA may also be neuroprotective and is a powerful antioxidant.

• Take internally to help soothe and calm the nervous system.

• Apply topically combined with a carrier oil or a facial moisturizer to help keep skin clean and clear, and to help reduce the appearance of blemishes.
