You know I am all about self-care. From exercise, meditation, personal growth, spa days, and everything in between, I am on an ever-evolving personal journey to discover the best things in self-care. CBD has become even more a household name since I wrote this blog post, yet there is still some confusion surrounding the ingredient and it’s use. Let’s clear some things up, with the help of my new favorite CBD brand SAFI.
Do I really need it? Does it really work? Will it make me high? There’s so many questions!
Luckily, I’ve done the hard work for you and have recently found my go-to CBD brand for pain and stress management – SAFI. For me, it was really important that I found a brand that I could trust and that really worked. What I love about SAFI is that they are totally transparent, even featuring 3rd-party tested lab results on every package, so I know exactly how much CBD I’m consuming and how potent it is. I also wanted to find a product that wouldn’t get me high and I love how SAFI’s products contain zero THC- even at trace amounts!
But before we dive into the products, let’s touch on why CBD is a must to add to your self-care routine right now. CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is a compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not create psychoactive effects and will never make you feel ‘high’. The way CBD works is by communicating with our body’s own endocannabinoid system to restore the body to a state of homeostasis. Yes, our bodies each have an internal system that is meant to work with plant medicine. Do you see why this is so amazing?! CBD works by returning our bodies to the most natural, relaxed and balanced state and let’s be real, I think we could ALL use more of that in our crazy busy lives!
I personally love CBD for stress management, both physical and mental. From creams to tinctures, there’s something for every ailment you may be feeling. Or even better, something to prevent these ailments from happening in the first place.
Here are some of my favorite products from SAFI.
The Daily Wellness Tincture
1500mg and 3000mg CBD (aka super potent)
This is THE best CBD oil tincture I’ve ever tried by far and let me tell you why. For starters, it’s completely natural, vegan, and tasteless. It’s pure and smooth enough to where you can take it on its own as is or you can add it into your favorite coffees, tea, cocktails, etc- without changing the taste at all! It’s suspended in pure organic coconut oil so it doesn’t have that weird, ‘woody’ taste that’s common in CBD oils. It also comes in two different potencies- 1500mg and 3000mg – which makes it one of the most potent on the market! It ships nationwide and to Canada and is available here.
The Pain Melting Balm
500mg CBD
Now THIS product is a total game changer because I’ve never tried anything like it. The Pain Melting Balm is a solid salve that melts to a lightweight non-greasy oil once it makes contact with the skin. It’s perfect for sore muscles, cramps, or anywhere that you may be feeling pain. If you suffer from a chronic illness that causes pain this cbd balm for pain would be perfect for you. I love massaging it into my shoulders and neck after a long day working on my devices and I’ve been dying to try a full body massage with it… it’s just THAT good! It’s packed with 500mg of CBD making it super potent and it’s also extra relaxing thanks to the Lavendar and Eucalyptus Oil added to the mix. It’s also available nationwide and in Canada at saficare.com.
The Intense Relief Cream
400mg CBD
SAFI’s Intense Relief Cream is similar to the balm in that it treats pain on contact, but it’s a totally different formula! Packed with 400mg of CBD, this cream is thick and rich, featuring Vitamin E, Rice Bran Oil, Calendula Flower and Rosemary leaf to soothe inflammation, loosen stiff muscles and promote healing from the inside out. I love using this after intense workouts! Grab yours here.
Whether you’re seeking to alleviate everyday stress, anxiety, inflammation, body aches and pain, or simply want to elevate your self-care ritual, SAFI is my new go-to for CBD wellness and a great place to start for those who are new to CBD. They’ve taken all the guesswork out and made is simple for me and I love that I can take their products with me wherever I go.
