The holiday season is upon us and you are probably getting out of your regular routine, which means possibly forgetting to take your regular dose of CBD oil. It might seem that CBD oil isn’t necessary for the holidays since there is no work stress, no extra need to focus on mental tasks, and no need to worry about sleep since we can sleep in and get a full night of rest. But let me tell you 3 main reasons why CBD oil should be your number one supplement during the holidays!
1. CBD Oil Helps with Hangovers
Let’s be honest, most of us have holiday parties where we have one too many drinks, or those long fun days which we start off with a mimosa at breakfast. No shame in that, but the next morning is just so painful!
However, there is a cure for those mornings, and, yes you guessed it, CBD oil can help! CBD oil doesn’t just reduce the physical pain, like body aches, but it also makes your mind clearer. CBD helps your body bring serotonin levels back up so you don’t feel miserable and depressed. It calms down your “hangover monkey brain” so you don’t have the typical overwhelming negative thoughts. In addition, CBD can help reduce nausea.
Overall, CBD may be an amazing cure for hangovers! If you want to make it even more effective, taking some CBD oil before you start drinking and before you go to bed (together with tons of water) could possibly prevent you from drinking too much alcohol, as well as help your body get proper rest, since hangover symptoms can also be due to lack of restful sleep, and hydration.
2. CBD Helps Digestion
The holidays are synonymous with overeating in our culture. We consume way too much food, as well as eating foods that we don’t eat quite as much of the rest of the year, further resulting in indigestion and weight gain.
While CBD can help you manage your appetite during the holidays, it may also help you with digestion and with the nauseous feeling that you get from eating the wrong foods. Take a dose of CBD oil before you go out to eat or party and when you come home from an evening out to yield the best possible results.
3. CBD Reduces Stress
As much as we want to believe that the holidays are there for us to relax and have fun, let’s be honest, holidays can also be very stressful. Everything from buying gifts in the crowded malls, and holiday parties that start at the beginning of December. From family drama and anxiety about gaining weight to not being able to fit into that dress, holidays are a lot of work and sometimes we need holidays from the holidays.
In order to avoid feeling that way, remembering to take your daily dosage of CBD oil may help you to feel in control, relaxed, so can enjoy the wonderful holiday season!
We recommend ICARIA’s Aphrodite in the 10 mL size. This product is also super convenient and great for quickly throwing in your purse when you are running around!
Important note about traveling…
Side note about the holidays: We often travel during this season, and as much as we want to bring our CBD with us, CBD oil is made from hemp, which is a type of cannabis. This means it is NOT legal outside of Canada and can be a very serious criminal offense if you travel with it!
However, as taking CBD oil before traveling can allow for your trip significantly more enjoyable, we suggest taking a bit more than your regular dosage before you leave the house, remembering to leave your favorite ICARIA product at home.
Remember you are your most important person, so remember to take care of yourself! Happy Holidays!
