Healing Alternatives to THC
In our experience, THC dominant formulas are used for 3 main reasons:
Pain
Sleeping
Illness Management
This is a logical approach considering the cannabinoid THC is well known for relieving pain, assisting with better sleep patterns and assisting chronic conditions.
However THC, like any single cannabinoid or terpene, is only a part of the whole story. This understanding allows us to take a wider look at a range of options and alternatives relieving the stress of potential drug testing or the uncomfortable effects that some people experience with these types of oils.
As we take an wholistic approach to wellness, the suggested alternatives are not limited to cannabinoid formulas on their own, but rather suggestions that can be incorporated into any existing protocol for greater results. This also provides an opportunity to consider what else is going on in the body, or inner environment that may need to be addressed to achieve deep healing and restoration. After all - our aim is ultimately for you to be free of symptoms AND their cause.
What is causing the pain? (What i eat, drink, do or have)
Why am I not sleeping? (Sleep hygiene, stress, overthinking or physical pain)
How can I create a more stable healing environment? (am I consciously attending to my whole body/mind with care, support and nutrition)
Interestingly enough - the below alternatives suggested for healing, may assist any and/or all of the above. Have a read through the ideas below and explore any that are appropriate for your circumstances. We trust these may provide new pathways of regeneration and bring you the relief you need;
CBG oil for Day - Allowing better sleep preparation at night.
We have a saying here "Sleep issues begin when you wake up"!
In other words whatever cycles or patterns run your day, if they are not addressed or observed at the earliest opportunity, then the night pattern will also remain the same. Whether you are dealing with pain, stress, sleep issues, a health crisis or general 'wear and tear', the breaking of unhealthy cycles is essential for healing and regeneration.
So - when you wake, and prepare for your day, observe any stresses or situations where you feel under duress and either have a mini retreat in the moment (ideal), or utilise an oil to assist bring the physical into gentle balance whilst you maintain the days momentum (equally ideal).
CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Often called the "mother cannabinoid", it potentially acts as the chemical precursor to THC and CBD.
It is gaining popularity for its potential to relieve pain, anxiety and inflammation without causing intoxication.
Client feedback indicates this is highly beneficial for sleeping
Pre-clinical research indicates CBG may directly inhibit tumour growth and destroy therapy resistant cancer stem cells (*PubMEd)
Our CBG formulations have been masterly crafted using an organically grown strain from the Northern Rivers. Talk to your Consultant or call the Clinic direct for more information and/or to order this oil.
Warm Bath with Mineral Salts & Our Topical Oils
Soaking the body in a warm mineralised bath or foot bath allows the cells to release toxins and uptake the minerals whilst you float into deep relaxation. In adding a topical oil made from the stems and stalks of the plant and infused with extracted botanicals, provides a deeper level of nourishment and nervous system support. In turn this allows muscle relaxation, a calmer mind, and the opportunity for the natural elements to bring your body into a state of rest and ready for sleep.
If you don't have a full length bath, a foot bath is a perfect alternative. In some ways a foot bath provides a more comfortable position to lay supported by pillows/ blankets etc, with your feet in the warm water, soaking all the goodness up through the soles, into your bloodstream and circulated around your body.
Either way, add your favourite aromas, dim the lights, put on your soul beats and let the tension go ........................
