5 Ways to Enjoy CBD Everyday Day with River Organics

I’ve been a CBD user since 2019. I was fortunate to have a friend suggest it to me for oral use. I’d been working through a breakup, was in the trenches of building my business, and had been focusing heavily on self-care. I began using a CBD oil. I would drop it under my tongue, add it to my coffee, or drizzle it over a pizza. Today, it’s much more widely used, understood, and accessible. Farmers and producers are developing new ways for people like me and you to enjoy CBD in everyday life. I recently visited a CBD farm right here in Virginia, River Organics. I fell right back in love with CBD and added a few new ways to enjoy CBD in my life every day.

At River Organics, I explored the greenhouses, fields, and processing warehouses to learn just how they create their high-quality CBD products from the seed to a bath bomb–all with a commitment to sustainability. Watch my video tour of the farm.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about CBD over the years, it’s that quality matters. After a tour of the farm, I learned why. The hemp plant grown to create CBD products is known as a “bio-accumulator.” This means that the plant draws many substances from the soil. Those substances include toxins. Investing in CBD products that are grown organically ensures that you won’t digest or absorb chemical toxins, which sort of negates the benefits of using CBD.

Speaking of, let’s explore a few benefits of CBD

I am not an expert, so I did some digging for the latest articles I could find about CBD benefits and usage. I landed on this June 6, 2022 article in Forbes. As many articles and studies report, the Forbes piece shares that CBD can be used to relieve stress, anxiety, pain, and inflammation. It can also be helpful for alleviating symptoms related to specific challenges including epilepsy, PTSD, and diabetes.

According to the River Organics team, “the oldest known record of CBD use is in China in 2727… Ancient Greeks and Romans also used cannabis, and it then spread throughout the Middle East…Cannabinoids are an integral part of the human body’s ability to regulate and balance a wide variety of physiological systems. While the benefits of CBD are still being studied, it is often used as a therapeutic remedy for managing stress and anxiety, insomnia, headaches, inflammation, and chronic pain..”

Using a CBD Tincture or Oil Orally

A CBD tincture or oil is the most popular way to incorporate CBD into your daily wellness routine. According to the Forbes article I noted above, 55% of the 60% of U.S. adults who reported using CBD, use CBD oils and tinctures specifically. I personally drop it under my tongue in the morning, drizzle it on a salad at lunch, or add it to an end-of-day cocktail. It balances my stress levels and calms my overactive mind, which allows me to focus more during my work hours or relax when it’s time to unwind at the end of the day. It doesn’t make me sleepy unless I combine it with melatonin, chamomile, or other sleep medication. It does not get you “high” either. You are you after taking CBD, have no fear.

Pro tip: I love the River Organics Citrus Tincuture! The flavor blends easily into salad dressing or other sweet or savory recipes.

CBD Massage Oil for Pain Relief

If you’ve got muscle or joint pain or tension, a CBD massage oil or balm will help alleviate inflammation. Using topical CBD helps relieve pain at the point of concern directly. I know family members who use it on knees and other joints where they have regular, chronic pain. For me, I use it on my neck and shoulders, which carry a tremendous amount of tension and as of late, chronic pain. I actually like to apply the River Organics CBD Massage Oil and then use my Amazon neck massager at the end of the day. You’ll sleep like a baby!

Throw a CBD Bath Bomb Into the Tub

If a bath is a favorite way to relax or alleviate pain, then adding a CBD bath bomb may be an easy first step to incorporate CBD into your wellness routine. When you add a CBD bath bomb to warm bath water, it releases the CBD and penetrates the skin. For my ladies, this is especially helpful for period cramps!

CBD Wine is a New Favorite for Me

There’s a difference between the glass (or four) of wine you have on Saturday and the glass of wine you enjoy at the end of the work day in the middle of the week. For me, I reach for wine during the week to signal my mind and body to relax. I don’t really care to get a buzz, I simply want to unwind. Instead, now, I am reaching for this River Organics Hemp Wine. I’ve got a bottle of the Hemp Cabernet and the Hemp Rose depending on the mood I’m in. There is no alcohol, so there’s no hangover or puffy eyes. It tastes delicious and has been a game-changer for this regular wine drinker.

A Bit of CBD tea for Tranquility

If wine isn’t your thing at the end of the day, then maybe tea is. With a wedge of lemon and some hot water, a mug of CBD tea blended with lavender is a dreamy way to treat yourself. There’s something about a warm cup of tea that always does the trick for me. I also recently enjoyed a cup of the River Organics Tranquility Tea wth Hemp and Lavender after a physically strenuous day and relaxed easily into a good night’s sleep.
