If you’re looking for an all-natural way to enhance your meditation practice, hemp might be the answer. This versatile plant can help relax your body, focus your mind, and reduce stress. Let’s dive into why hemp is a great choice for those looking to improve their meditation experience.

The Benefits of Hemp for Meditation

Hemp has been used in many cultures for centuries as a means of relaxation and pain relief. It has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help combat stress, anxiety, and depression. It is also known to reduce cortisol levels in the body which can help put your mind at ease during meditation. In addition, hemp contains natural cannabinoids like cannabidiol which can help reduce pain and inflammation throughout the body so that you can sit more comfortably for longer periods of time.

The physical benefits

These aren’t the only advantages of using hemp for meditation. Hemp also has mental benefits as well. Cannabis Hemp helps increase focus and clarity while decreasing racing thoughts and general mental fog that can prevent us from achieving deeper states of consciousness during our practice. Additionally, hemp is known to boost creativity in individuals, encouraging them to approach their spiritual practices with a new outlook or perspective they may not have considered before.

How to Incorporate Hemp Into Your Meditation Practice

You can purchase our Relief Lotion infused with full spectrum Hemp oil and apply it directly onto your neuro receptors (inside of writs and temples) before meditating. Ultimately, incorporating hemp into your meditation practice can be incredibly beneficial in numerous ways – both physically and mentally – allowing you to achieve deeper states of consciousness than ever before while experiencing less stress and anxiety along the way. Rub our All-natural Relief Lotion on before your practice and feel the balancing affects of our formula to enhance your practice.

What Are Cannabinoids?

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date July 6, 2023

Cannabinoids are a group of compounds found in the cannabis plant. These compounds interact with our bodies’ endocannabinoid system (ECS), providing numerous potential health benefits. In this blog post, we will explore why cannabinoids are so important and how they work.

What is the Endocannabinoid System?

The endocannabinoid system is a biochemical communication network in our bodies that processes and responds to cannabinoids from both the cannabis plant and from within our own bodies. It is made up of several different components, including endocannabinoids, receptors, enzymes, and other important molecules that interact to regulate many of our body’s functions.

How Do Cannabinoids Work?

Cannabinoids interact with our ECS by binding to specific receptors in the body. Once these receptors have been activated by cannabinoids, they begin to produce certain proteins or neurotransmitters which then trigger various biological responses. For example, some cannabinoids may help reduce pain or inflammation while others may help reduce anxiety or depression. The effects of cannabinoid-receptor interactions vary depending on the type of cannabinoid being used.

What Are Some Common Cannabinoids?

There are hundreds of different cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, but some of the most common ones include THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). THC is responsible for producing the “high” associated with marijuana use while CBD does not produce any psychoactive effects and can actually be beneficial for reducing anxiety or promoting better sleep. Other popular cannabinoids include CBG (cannabigerol), CBC (cannabichromene), CBN (cannabinol), and THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid). Different combinations of these compounds can produce unique effects on your body’s ECS.

Understanding how cannabinoids interact with your body’s endocannabinoid system is essential for unlocking their full potential as a therapeutic aid. Whether you’re looking to reduce pain, inflammation, anxiety, or depression—or maybe just get a good night’s sleep—there’s sure to be a combination of cannabinoids that can help you achieve your goal.

Hemp Cultivation in the US

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date June 12, 2023

Hemp cultivation in the United States has seen a resurgence in recent years, thanks to changes in legislation and a growing demand for products made from the plant. In 2018, When the Hemp Bill passed in America, we at Dr. Milo got straight to work experimenting with hemp oil in our home kitchen.

Hemp, a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species, is grown for its seeds, fiber, and oils. It has been used for centuries in various industries, including textiles, construction, and food. Unlike its cousin marijuana, hemp contains very low levels of the psychoactive compound THC, making it legal to grow and use in the United States.

The 2018 Farm Bill, removed hemp from the list of controlled substances and classified it as an agricultural commodity. This change in legislation has opened the door for farmers to grow hemp and for companies to produce and sell hemp-derived products, such as Cannabidiol.

So how did this bill affect our land?

As a result, the number of acres dedicated to hemp cultivation in the US has risen dramatically in recent years. In 2019, there were 78,176 acres of hemp under cultivation in the United States, a nearly 200% increase from the previous year. As of 2021, more than half a million acres were being cultivated. This number continues to grow as the demand for hemp-based products increases.

Hemp is a versatile crop that can be grown for a variety of purposes, including food, fiber, and Hemp Oil. The seeds are a rich source of protein and healthy fats, making them popular in the food industry. The fibers can be used to make textiles, paper, and construction materials, while the oils can be used in personal care products, supplements, and even fuel.

Farming Hemp

Despite the growing popularity of hemp cultivation in the US, there are still challenges that farmers face. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of a consistent market for hemp products. This lack of a consistent market makes it difficult for farmers to plan and invest in their crops. Additionally, there is still a lack of research and information on the best practices for growing hemp, making it difficult for farmers to optimize their yields.

The Future of Hemp

The legalization of hemp cultivation in the United States has opened up many opportunities for farmers and businesses. The demand for hemp-based products is increasing, and the crop has the potential to be a valuable addition to the agricultural industry. However, farmers still face challenges, such as a lack of consistent market and a lack of research on best practices. With continued support and investment, the hemp industry in the US has the potential to continue to grow and thrive.

Dr. Milo Hemp Packaging Adds Some Playfulness To The Pain Relief Aisle -DIELINE ARTICLE

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date May 29, 2023

by Chloe Gordon on 06/09/2022 | 3 Minute Read

Dr. Milo is a pain relief serum with packaging that’s much more lighthearted than the purpose behind the brand. Through bright red, lively typography, and an aluminum tube, the brand’s packaging beautifully balances an approachable attitude that’s also highly trustworthy and restorative. While the design is simple, it certainly has a playful side creating standout packaging in a sea of dull medical designs.

Our target was to create a more fun pain relief tube with a 70’s vibe for the older generation while staying poppy and fun. Our primary stacked logo is a custom font, our wave design was inspired by an australian psychedelic rock band and the bright red poppy brand color was inspired by the red cross to convey healing. We’re apart of 1% for the planet, and give back to Regeneration International to promote regenerative farming practices which is great for hemp farmers in America. We’re a Woman owned, family operated, hemp business.

Created by a team of sister, brother, and dad; Joan, David, and Milo. We initially shared Dr. Milo with friends and family seeking an all-natural, safer solution to curing everyday aches and pains and helping loved ones cope with chronic pain. We now get to share this product with the world, and we’re pretty excited about that. Several years ago, our Mom, and wife respectively, was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease, making her live with chronic debilitating pain.

We sourced our top to bottom sustainable packaging in Germany where we found one of the very few companies in the world using a lined aluminum tube. Aluminum is one of the most recyclable materials. Our box is made of recycled cardboard boxes. We then worked with Mac & Roni Creative out of NY to fully design our tube, logo and secondary patterns. Our flower pattern is actually the ARNICA MONTANA flower- a main ingredient in our Relief Lotion.

We wanted to create a product and be a part of her healing journey to find less toxic solutions for pain management. We started with the idea that we could offer something as an alternative solution to pain management. We combined our background in holistic, herbal healing with the advent of the legalization of hemp. Dr. Milo began in our home kitchen; with lots of messy potion experimentation and after its initial success, we decided to form a company. Our company standard was to distribute a product for others seeking a more pain-free life while using the whole plant, all-natural ingredients.

Dr. Milo has since grown and is produced in California, and you can now find us in multiple U.S. locations. We’ve also continued experimenting and are seeking to make more products that offer some peace for your aches and love for your pains.
