Release Yourself From Pain

Hey Sunshine!

I love to write about things that lighten up your life. But it sure is hard to feel light if you are in physical pain!

Last year I took up a new hobby, I was inspired to begin to learn how to play the violin! I had never even touched a violin in my 50 years of life, but off I went into my new obsession.  I was very focused and practiced hours every day. I started to feel some pain in my wrist, elbow, arm, and shoulder but I ignored it and kept bowing that violin. Well I guess my muscles were just not used to being used in this way and the pain grew. 

The Downfall

It wasn’t long before I was in a LOT of muscle pain from my neck and shoulder all the way down my arms to my wrist. I wasn’t going to give up my new passion, but I did need a way to calm down the pain and inflammation that had built up or I wouldn’t be able to play.

At first I tried the old standards, Bengay and Icy Hot.  They are helpful but loaded with chemicals and I can’t stand smelling like menthol and wintergreen.  I wanted relief but using these products make me want to gag from the smell. I also am very careful with my body products, and opt for natural whenever I can get it.

The Search Began

So my search was on for a product that could relieve my pain, smelled good, and had only natural ingredients. A friend of mine recommended a natural cream made with CBD oil. CBD oil is all the rage right now.  I had heard of it but not used it myself. I was aware of people using it for muscular pain, but would it really work for me?


Holistic Hemp Healing

I had nothing to lose, I contacted Holistic Hemp Healing, a top quality hemp derived CBD Company, and spoke with one of their owners.  She recommended their Recovery Cream for my specific issue. She said that her customers have loved it and spoke glowingly about how it’s targeted to isolated areas of muscular and arthritic pain.  She read the ingredient list to me. Along with Full Spectrum and Nano CBD, it passed my natural ingredient test with flying colors. Their Recovery Cream contains other incredible skin nourishing ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, avocado oil, and vitamin E. Then I asked the all important question, does it smell like wintergreen and menthol? Nope, those ingredients are not in it at all! It smells like lemongrass from the essential oil infused into the cream.

I Was Sold

I was sold, so I ordered my first jar. Thankfully for my sore muscles it came quickly. The first thing I did was open the jar and smell the cream.  It smelled SO good, lemongrass indeed! I was so relieved. Now, could this actually help my pain? It’s a thick salve, so a little goes a long way. It’s more like a body butter which melts onto your skin as you rub it in. 

I immediately took some out and massaged it into my wrist, arm, elbow, shoulder, and neck. It felt so soothing as it melted into my skin and it smelled great.  I was really surprised at how quickly it began to work! The pain lessened rapidly as the CBD oil went to work and did it’s job. The directions say to apply it 1-4 times a day to your problem areas.  Those first few days, I applied it often. As a few days passed I was able to apply it less and less often and I felt better and better for longer periods of time. Now, I only need to use it once or twice a week as it really helped calm down my inflammation.  I am rarely in pain anymore and I know that as soon as I feel any inflammation flaring up, I just grab my jar of Recovery Cream, massage it in, and give my arm a little rest to let the pain subside and let the CBD oil absorb into my skin and do its thing.

The Product Lineup

I was so impressed with the Recovery Cream that I went to Holistic Hemp Healing’s website and explored what other products they offer.  I was amazed at all the products they make with healing CBD oil from elixirs to body lotions, soaps and bath bombs, supplements, to even pet care! I have been giving my 2 dogs, Gracie and Laci, drops of CBD oil everyday in their food and their health problems have dramatically improved.  I was amazed!

They even have edibles like CBD infused dark chocolate, gummy bears, lollipops, and honey!  How are those for food finds?!
