Those who embrace a holistic approach to wellness appreciate the concept of the mind-body connection. If you recognize how the body’s systems and organs work together, your approach to health will likely revolve around balance and restoration.
Cannabis fits into this lifestyle because of how it interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS)—the body’s internal network that helps regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and stress response. Factors such as age, autoimmune disease, environmental issues, and poor lifestyle choices can compromise the ECS.
How Cannabinoids Like THC and CBD Boost Everyday Wellness
Marijuana and hemp are packed with over 100 cannabinoids, which are natural compounds that interact with your body in different ways. The most well-known ones are THC and CBD.
THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is the cannabinoid with the psychoactive properties that recreational cannabis enthusiasts use for the euphoric high. However, THC has other properties as well that can assist with ailments and bring about homeostasis.
Cannabidiol (CBD) can influence the brain’s serotonin system, which may help regulate sleep, mood, and appetite. In addition to THC and CBD, cannabis sativa plants can contain dozens more cannabinoids that vary from plant to plant.
When multiple cannabinoids and terpenes interact in the body, they can produce what’s known as the entourage effect, where these compounds may enhance and balance each other’s effects.
Marijuana Self-Care Products in Denver
Residents of Colorado, and specifically Denver, who wish to use cannabis as part of their wellness plan, are fortunate to live in a state with progressive thinking and legislation. Colorado led the way in legalizing medical and recreational marijuana.
Even those who don’t carry the credentials for medical marijuana can use retail or recreational cannabis to maintain or improve their overall well-being.
A wide variety of holistic cannabis products, combined with knowledgeable dispensary staff, makes it easier for consumers to find the options that work best for them.
Shop Self-Care Staples: Topicals, Tinctures, and Edibles
Alternative Medicine Capitol Hill (AMCH) dispensary carries a variety of cannabis products to assist our customers with all their cannabis needs, but particularly as a component of their self-care routine. In addition to flower and edibles, you can find cannabis topicals for self-care to help achieve your wellness goals.
Soothe Your Skin and Muscles with CBD and THC Topicals
Besides orally ingesting cannabis products, using topicals like lotions and balms can also bring positive effects. When you add additional ingredients that awaken other senses, the effect multiplies.
The skin, as we know, is the body’s largest organ and very receptive to the properties of cannabis. One of our favorite products at AMCH is Escape Artists Bath Bombs. With a blend of CBD and THC, these bath bombs offer a great way to unwind after a stressful day. Imagine enjoying the scents of eucalyptus and lavender while your skin also soaks in the benefits of CBD and THC. You’ll feel your mood elevate as you relax.
Daily Drops for Balance and Clam with Tinctures
Tinctures can also contribute to overall better health. Always ask a budtender or healthcare professional for recommendations on what to look for in the blend of cannabinoids and other ingredients when selecting a tincture.
One of the tinctures that works well with a self-care routine is CalibrateMe. The CBG in this high-potency CBD tincture supercharges the effects of this powerful cannabinoid.
Sleep Soundly with Edibles for Stress-Free Evenings
AMCH has a great selection of edibles that are perfect for relaxing and promoting a good night’s sleep. Dialed In Gummies offers an indica strain, Acai Berry Sleep, with a THC-CBD-CBN blend that intensifies the entourage effect.
