  • Feco…From Bodyworker to Cannabis Oil Maker – Interview With Robin Swan

    Feco…From Bodyworker to Cannabis Oil Maker – Interview With Robin Swan
    Jun 27 2019
    Robin Swan manages a company that is hands-on with herbal compounding, using the CBD to reduce inflammation in the cells and nerves. She explains that humans are designed to receive cannabinoids and that before even the industrial revolution, every whole food had hemp in it. People believe CBD is the new magic pill since it helps cure diseases, headaches, and chronic issues. However, it’s not just CBD that’s doing the work – the hemp plant has both THC and CBD, and an entire chain following. This means that it’s the hemp in its entirety that does the work; isolating the CBD molecule does not mean a higher quality product. Robin explains that the hemp plant is a great way to restore the quality of your nerve system in a cleanse. However, it’s also important to have a good diet, drink water, and sleep well to see the benefits of cannabinoids. Organic foods cannot fight synthetic foods; to see the full benefits of hemp oil, it’s essential to adopt a healthy lifestyle as well. Many people mention that nothing happens after taking cannabis oil – but that’s precisely it: the pain disappears, and you feel healthy. Your knee will stop hurting, you’ll stop getting headaches, and you won’t have many chronic illnesses. Such are the immense health benefits of the hemp plant.
