What Are Allergies?

By definition, allergies are described as “exaggerated or pathological immunological reaction (as by sneezing, difficult breathing, itching, or skin rashes) to substances, situations, or physical states that are without comparable effect on the average individual”

It’s an overreaction in the immune system to certain foreign substances, some of these stimulants being more common than others. According to research that has been done, allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic illness. Common Allergies include; specific foods (peanuts and pineapples being examples), pets (this usually includes their fur), pollen/plants, mold, dust mites, specific medications, latex, insects, perfumes/chemical smells.

What is CBD and the Endocannabinoid system?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a type of cannabinoid, a chemical found naturally in cannabis (marijuana and hemp) plants. Early research is promising regarding the ability of CBD oil to help relieve anxiety. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), another type of cannabinoid, CBD doesn’t cause any feelings of intoxication or the “high” you may associate with cannabis. CBD is also known for its ability to relieve stress and anxiety in the brain.

CBD is thought to interact with CB1 and CB2 receptors in the human body. These receptors are most commonly found in the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. These receptors are part of our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for so many of our daily functions. Many of these functions include mood, sleep, appetite, memory, etc. To this day, there is still a lot of information that is being discovered about this system in our bodies. All living beings have this ECS in our body, even if you haven’t had any form of cannabis in your system. When we are born, this system in our brains is a form of homeostasis, however, it can become unbalanced as we age and go through life. That’s where CBD can be utilized to help. The endocannabinoids can bind to either receptor, the effects that result depend on where the receptor is located and which endocannabinoid it binds to. The CB1 receptors are located in the brain and throughout the body, while CB2 receptors are found mostly in the immune and gastrointestinal system; although CB2 receptors are also found in the brain, they are not expressed quite as densely as CB1 receptors. Cannabinoids can help regulate the immune system by reducing inflammation in the body. When the body’s cannabinoid system is not functioning properly, inflammation and immune-related disorders, such as allergies, can occur. CBD helps your body through allergies by reducing the inflammation in your body. CBD comes in topical and ingestible forms. Depending on your specific allergy type, and how much it affects you, CBD can be a useful and healthier alternative for your body. Though, we always recommend speaking with a health care professional if your symptoms are severe or seem to worsen.

Symptoms of a migraine include throbbing in one area that can vary in intensity. Nausea and sensitivity to light and sound are also common symptoms.

Treatments such as pain-relieving medications can be used to manage migraine pain.  Tension headaches are mild to moderate pain often described as feeling like a tight band around the head.  Symptoms include pain on both sides of the head that may be associated with muscle pain.

Treatments such as pain-relieving medications, ice or heat, and good posture can be used to manage tension headaches. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects.

Studies found that headache and migraine sufferers experienced positive results when taking CBD to treat their pain. The study compared CBD’s effects on migraines and headaches with those of popular pain medications, only to find that CBD is just as, if not more effective than an over the counter medication such as ibuprofen.

The same studies also found that regular CBD intake decreases the frequency of headaches and migraines, meaning that this cannabinoid has the potential to prevent this type of pain from occurring.  What makes CBD unique is that it directly interacts with our endocannabinoid system by supplying it the things it needs to function at its best.

This interaction helps to regulate different bodily processes including inflammation and pain tolerance. CBD acts as both an analgesic and an anti-inflammatory aid.  The chemical compounds found in CBD can reduce inflammation and the analgesic compounds are able to stop the brain from receiving pain signals sent by the nerves.

Our AHS 1500mg tincture can be taken sublingually.  AHS tension rollers can be applied to the back of your neck, your temples, and behind your ear to alleviate pain along with our Vici migraine patches.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes the body’s immune system to attack its organs and tissues. Lupus is characterized by inflammation, often affecting the joints, kidneys, brain, blood cells, lungs, and the heart. A facial rash also develops, which resembles the wings of a butterfly.

Lupus occurs commonly in women aged 15-44 years old. However, some people are born with lupus genes, which may be triggered by infections, sunlight, and prescription drugs.

Most treatments are designed to reduce organ damage and pain, manage flares, balance hormones, and regulate the immune system activity; not to cure the disease.

Medications used to treat lupus include Cyclosporine, Azathioprine, Belimumab, Hydroxychloroquine, Methotrexate and Prednisone. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include high blood pressure, blood clots in kidneys, abdominal pain, acne, tremors, headaches, diarrhea, rash, fever, muscle aches, liver damage, dizziness, nausea, sore throat, depression, insomnia, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes and hair loss.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects.Studies show that CBD may help alleviate the symptoms of lupus without the harmful side effects of prescribed medications.

CBD runs interference in your central nervous system and the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). CBD pushes things along or out of the way, so those systems can function with balance.

It makes a major contribution to reducing inflammation, improving rest, redeploying hormones, and reducing the absorption of anandamide, the “bliss” molecule.

CBD infused products offer relief from fatigue, pain, and more when used properly as part of a holistic approach to help manage lupus symptoms.  A 3000mg Tincture Oil can be taken sublingually along with 1000mg CBG Gummies to help alleviate the symptoms of lupus.

RLS is characterized by itchy, tingling, burning, and twitching feelings. With that, there’s often an unbearable need to move or kick your legs. RLS symptoms become more pronounced during the evening or later parts of the day. Many people struggling with RLS often have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep.

This causes fatigue and sleepiness during the day. Treatment for restless legs syndrome includes massage therapy and prescribed medications. Medications used to treat RLS include Levodopa, Ropinirole, Pramipexole, Gabapentin and Pregabalin. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, insomnia, hallucinations, increased blood pressure, fever, viral infection, blurred vision and tremors.

CBD is a non-psychoactive chemical compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. Studies show that CBD may help alleviate symptoms of RLS without the negative side effects of prescribed medication. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid that interacts indirectly with receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). This action essentially greases the system’s gears and maximizes its ability to do its job—which is to promote optimum functioning in the body’s other systems.

Taking CBD can help your body maintain homeostasis and lessen any symptoms that are preventing certain bodily functions from operating properly. In the case of RLS, this applies to CBD’s ability to help those who suffer from lack of sleep. Many people have trouble maintaining a consistent sleep-wake cycle, CBD has shown to improve sleep quality and make it easier to fall asleep.

CBD for restless legs syndrome also works by acting as a potential muscle relaxant. Research shows that CBD may calm the nerves in your legs that cause the tingling and painful sensations.

Our AHS 1500mg Tincture can be taken sublingually along with our AHS 2500mg Custom Cream that can be applied topically to help alleviate symptoms of RLS.

Motion sickness experienced at sea or in the air often induces vomiting, as many as 55% of pregnant women struggle with nausea during their first months of gestation and people exposed to chemical odors, offensive smells, and airborne toxins react with nausea and vomiting.

In some situations, vomiting is a positive and natural way to purge the system of poison, but severe nausea and vomiting may indicate larger problems and lead to dehydration and damage to the esophagus and digestive tract.

Nausea and vomiting are signs of appendicitis, blocked intestines, brain injury, concussion, flu, food poisoning, overeating, migraines, and more. In very serious cases, nausea and vomiting may indicate cancer, central nervous disorders, kidney problems, liver conditions and more.

Treatment for nausea includes prescribed medications called antiemetics. Medications used to treat nausea include Meclizine hydrochloride, Dimenhydrinate, Emetrol, and Bismuth subsalicylate. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, headache, vomiting, hyperactivity, dry mouth, ringing in the ears, fainting, weight loss, yellow eyes or skin, abdominal pain, anxiety, cold symptoms and swelling of the face, arms and legs.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. Studies show that CBD may help alleviate nausea without the negative side effects of prescribed medications.

The endocannabinoid system(ECS) is a unique network of neurotransmitters and receptors that exist throughout the brain and body. Functionally, it appears to regulate a variety of internal homeostatic functions. Studies suggest that manipulating the endocannabinoid system can help regulate both nausea and vomiting.

Research also suggests that CBD can work as an antiemetic for humans, as it eases the effects of nausea and may even prevent it from occurring altogether.

Our AHS 1500mg Tincture can be taken sublingually and is perfect for alleviating nausea. Always consult your primary care physician before starting a new treatment.

Treatment for autism include different types of therapy, such as behavioral therapy, speech therapy, sensory therapy, anger management and occupational therapy. Antipsychotic medications are also prescribed to treat autism, such as Risperidone and Quetiapine.

Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include headaches, drowsiness, tremors, anxiety, depression, diarrhea, vomiting, weight gain, flu symptoms and weakness. CBD is a non-psychoactive chemical compound derived from the hemp plant that is known for its potential therapeutic effects. Studies show that CBD may help improve symptoms of autism without the negative side effects of prescribed medications. We all have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that receives signals from cannabinoids that enter the body.

The ECS moves up to the neurons and attaches to the cannabinoid receptors of the neuron that will send a “message”. Once there, the cannabinoids control what happens the next time the neurons activate and can effectively change what happens to the body and mind.  Endocannabinoids can help regulate hunger, anxiety, neuronal excitability, protection, and pain, among other things.

Those who use CBD to help with autism believe that it can help bring order to the brain. It is well known that individuals with autism struggle with focus and attention, and CBD may help alter their spectrum of attention.

CBD is known for its neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Research shows a decline in aggressive behavior, a significant decrease in seizures, and improved speech in those with ASD after CBD use. Some accounts include children who did not speak before treatment who achieved significant results in a short period of time after their first dose of CBD oil.

Our AHS 1500mg tincture can be taken sublingually and is perfect for improving symptoms of autism. Always consult your primary care physician before starting a new treatment.
