Healing your Health

Print
1 2 3

Health is about healing. Our body has so much to cope with and contend with daily and it is often the absence of healing and recovery that pushes a body to the precipice of its limits.

 

 

Any focus on health should always include a plan or strategy for healing and recovery. This may take the form of remedial therapies such as massage or restorative yoga. We know that excess stress causes imbalances and inflammation within the body; and so any steps we can take to counteract these can prove beneficial for our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

 

Balance and equilibrium

Healing your body requires you to focus on balance and equilibrium. Remember, stress and anxiety are one of the biggest culprits for aging you, not just externally in the form of wrinkles or dark circles beneath your eyes, but internally. Stress and anxiety greatly affect hormonal balance and cellular function. Poor hormonal balance can exacerbate stress, and a poor cellular function will leave you feeling lethargic and more prone to illness.

Numerous remedies can help to combat stress, fatigue, and anxiety. Many of these are plant-based and have been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. The main takeaway is that plants and herbs can help heal your body. 

 

Plants That Heal

Science has shown us for decades that plants are essential for optimal health and healing. As mentioned earlier, plants have been used for thousands of years as medicine. Our bodies need the phytonutrients found in plants to repair the damage, keep the body working properly, decrease inflammation, and produce antioxidants to help eliminate free radicals that can cause disease. Here are some natural plant remedies that can be incredibly helpful to have at hand: 

 

  • Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera has many healing properties. Many people use the gel of the Aloe Vera plant to cool a burn or reduce redness/inflammation on the skin. It can also prove helpful to improve your digestive function when consumed in the form of a health supplement/drink. 

 

 

  • Echinacea. Echinacea tends to become increasingly popular around the winter season as it can help boost immune function and may protect you from winter bugs and infections. 

 

 

  • Ashwagandha. This plant remedy is not commonly known, however, it is gaining weight in the health world for its ability to help with anxiety, stress, and fatigue. It is normally consumed as a tea or extract.

 

 

  • Hemp. The hemp plant is becoming more and more popular in providing recovery and healing. Many of the compounds found in the hemp plant can help reduce stress and anxiety, reduce chronic inflammation, improve sleep, and provide pain relief. The compound that is most responsible for these benefits is Cannabidiol; this is better known as CBD. 

 

 

 

What exactly is CBD and should you take it? 

CBD is a major compound produced by the hemp plant. It is extracted from the flowers and leaves in the form of an oil. 

When CBD is taken, it mimics compounds that all mammals produce called endocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids are neurotransmitters that are produced by the nervous system in response to different states of health and environmental factors. These neurotransmitters interact with neuroreceptors found on the surface of all cells throughout our bodies. Their jobs are to tell our cells to adjust activities.

Research has shown that CBD has positive support for mental and emotional stability. CBD affects the neurotransmitters that stimulate the uptake of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is often referred to as the “happy molecule” because of its ability to improve mood.  

CBD can be used in several ways, ranging from topical lotions and salves to oil tinctures, pills, and gummies. The most effective and quickest way to get CBD into your system is with a CBD Oil Tincture (or dropper). Naked Warrior Recovery specializes in products such as these, as a brand, they believe in enhanced performance through healing and recovery.
