Making Our Planet a Better Place, One Hemp Plant at a Time

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date March 20, 2023

When we think of sustainability and environmentalism, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. It can be hard to know where to start and how your individual efforts can add up. But every effort counts, especially when you join forces with an organization like 1% for the Planet or Regeneration International. That’s why our hemp company is proud to be part of both groups and make a positive contribution to the planet in the process.

What Is 1% for the Planet?

1% for the Planet is an organization that connects businesses committed to environmental sustainability with non-profits that are making a difference in their communities. They believe that businesses have an obligation to give back, which is why they encourage companies to donate 1% of their profits towards environmental protection and preservation initiatives. As members, this is something we’re proud of being a part of.

What Is Regeneration International?

Regeneration International (RI) is an organization dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture worldwide. The group works closely with farmers and scientists from around the world who are focused on regenerative land management practices that help promote soil health and reduce climate change. We are proud partners of RI because we love what they stand for—and because it makes a big difference in how we run our hemp business.

How Can You Help?

It’s easy! If you want to join us in supporting these organizations, there are several things you can do. You can sign up as a member to show your support, purchase products from brands that are part of 1% for the Planet or Regeneration International, or even donate directly if you wish! Every little bit helps and adds up quickly when more people get involved.

At Dr. Milo, we strongly believe that it’s important for businesses like ours to give back and contribute positively towards making our planet better. We consider ourselves privileged to be able to partner with two amazing organizations like 1% for the Planet and Regeneration International so we can have an even greater impact on the planet than ever before. If you would like more information on these organizations or would like to join us in making our planet better, please visit their websites and know that 1% of our early profits go to RI, so your purchase of our Relief Lotion is already contributing.

The Advantages of Starting a Woman Owned, Family Run Small Business

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date March 6, 2023

Starting a family-run small business has all the rewards you can imagine if managed properly. With the rise of digital tools and platforms, entrepreneurs have access to more resources than ever before. However, starting a woman owned small business comes with its own unique set of advantages. Let’s take a look at some of these benefits and how they can help your business succeed in today’s economy.

Increased Support Networks

When we started Dr. Milo, our woman owned small business, we gained access to networks of other like-minded women that you would not otherwise have access to. This could be beneficial for networking opportunities, finding mentors or even just having someone to talk to who understands what you are going through as an entrepreneur. Women-only or female-centric networks also provide invaluable advice and resources that may not be available elsewhere and can be invaluable for success in the early stages of your business.

Family Involvement

Starting a family run small business allows for increased involvement from family members who may not normally have the opportunity to contribute significantly to the business’s success. This could include anything from providing financial assistance during the initial startup phases to helping out with day-to-day operations such as marketing or customer service. Having family members involved can also provide additional morale boosts when times get tough and remind everyone why they are working so hard in the first place – to support their loved ones!

Tax Benefits

There are also tax benefits associated with owning a woman owned small business that can help offset some of the costs associated with running it. For example, many countries provide special incentives like reduced taxes or government grants specifically targeted towards female entrepreneurs, which can make running your business much easier in the long run. It is important to research any tax benefits available in your area as they could potentially save you money when it comes time to file taxes each year!

Starting a woman owned, family run small business comes with several advantages that can increase your chances for success in today’s economy. From increased support networks and family involvement to tax benefits and more, there are countless reasons why this type of venture may be right for you. It is important to do your research before taking on such an endeavor but if done correctly, it can be highly rewarding both financially and personally. We Started Dr. Milo Hemp years ago with a dream to create with more women owned businesses and we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to us today!

Ways to Beat the Winter Blues with Cannabis Hemp

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date February 20, 2023

The winter blues can be a difficult time for many of us. With the cold weather and shorter days, our moods can often become affected, leading to feelings of isolation and depression. Luckily, there are ways to beat this seasonal slump using cannabis hemp. Here’s how cannabis hemp can help you stay positive and vibrant during the winter months.

Cannabis Hemp as an Anti-Depressant

Cannabis hemp contains compounds known as cannabinoids or CBDs which act on brain receptors that control mood and emotion. Studies have shown that CBD has antidepressant effects due to its ability to increase serotonin levels in the brain. This helps to reduce feelings of anxiety, depression and stress while improving overall wellbeing. It also has anti-inflammatory properties which can help improve physical health as well as mental health. Additionally, when used in conjunction with other treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy or lifestyle changes, it can be highly effective in managing symptoms of depression.

Bolstering Immunity with Cannabis Hemp

The cold weather is often accompanied by illnesses such as colds and flu due to weakened immunity systems caused by lower temperatures and lack of sunlight. However, cannabis hemp may be able to help bolster your immune system during winter months thanks to its antioxidant properties. These antioxidants fight off free radicals which cause cell damage and weaken your immune system over time. In addition, cannabis hemp has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation caused by respiratory illnesses like asthma or bronchitis – ailments particularly common during the colder months.

Improving Sleep Quality with Cannabis Hemp

The shorter days and dark evenings associated with winter can often disrupt our sleeping patterns, leaving us feeling tired throughout the day and unable to focus on work or other important tasks. Fortunately, cannabis hemp may be able to help improve sleep quality during these colder months thanks to its sedative effects on both the body and mind. This helps relax muscles, reducing physical tension which often leads to better sleep quality overall. Additionally, it helps regulate hormones such as cortisol which promote relaxation and improved moods – two more factors that will lead towards better sleep quality at night.

Dr. Milo is here to tell you- Winter doesn’t have to mean feeling down in the dumps; it could mean taking proactive steps towards maintaining good mental health with cannabis hemp. From acting as an antidepressant- thanks to its ability to increase serotonin levels in the brain, bolstering immunity from seasonal illnesses through its antioxidant properties, or even improving sleep quality due to its sedative effects – there are a variety of ways in which cannabis hemp could benefit customers during this colder season! Take proactive steps towards beating those winter blues today by trying Dr. Milo’s Topical Relief Lotion. It penetrates into your endocannabinoid system esp. when applied to neural-receptors, such as the insides of your wrists and temples.

Sourcing Sustainable and Clean Ingredients

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date February 6, 2023

Well, this has been the biggest challenge while starting our business. It’s taken many twists and turns and found us needing to take a break to just contemplate the fact that it is almost nearly impossible to accomplish in our country. We’ve realized mainly because we don’t place much value on it. It has a lot to do with socio economic factors.

Read those labels!

It’s no secret that eating cleaner, shopping for cleaner products is far more expensive and not even attainable in certain areas of our country. The fact is though, that most of what is made in our world is toxic and this should NOT be the norm or accepted in our world. We all know it comes from a place of greed, a place of waste and not caring for others well being. Phew, ok got that out. While creating Dr. milo Topical Relief Lotion and researching and developing it (some years fell over the course of the pandemic) this was a topic that we kept running into time and time again and to be honest need to take some space away from the creation of it all at time because it weighed too heavy on our conscious.

Our sustainable journey

Were we ever going to able to create something that didn’t add more toxic waste into the world? A product that was Actually clean and free of harmful additives and chemicals for our customers? It was a constant fight with Manufacturers and vendors to answer these two questions. As a small business we weren’t able to access the higher quality ingredients and materials for a while due to high minimum order quantities. It took pleading with 50 different tube manufacturers to finally find one that so gratefully allowed us to put in our first order of 15k tubes! This was a daunting number going from filling in our home kitchen, but the alternative was toxic plastic.

Sourcing Ingredients Matter

Years were spent sourcing clean ingredients. Ingredients would come in wrong, we could tell that sometimes the vendor would sneak in a synthetic version of our Essential oil due to Supply chain shortages. We were constantly cutting ties and seeking out new relationships with vendors we felt we could actually trust. And, it’s an ongoing process, because in the end, our world is not designed to protect us and keep us healthy.

But as dark as that may feel, it’s important to take the time to research, align yourselves with business you can trust. They’re out there and they’re not going anywhere because their products function to help serve their communities and offer some good to our world.

Working out with Dr. Milo Relief Lotion

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date January 24, 2023

Way to go! You’re sore from a workout that pushed you to your limits and maybe you ran just a bit longer or upped up the reps this time. You’re feeling it everywhere. Perhaps a tight neck the next morning or a slightly pulled muscle from pushing it a little too far. This happens to all of us and because you’re in tune with your body, you know that aiding in recovery is essential. By Using Dr. Milo’s Topical Relief Lotion, you’re reducing inflammation for faster recovery to get back into your routine with less soreness and pain.

Why you should work out with us

We created this lotion as an alternative to pain relief and quickly realized from years of trials and customer feedback that because we loaded our formula up with so many great ingredients, the usage of our lotion became super vast. Hemp + Arnica Montana reduce swelling, bruising and sprains. Arnica Montana is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It contains a wide array of inflammation-fighting plant compounds such as sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, and phenolic acids which all help with pain management. Our Full Spectrum Hemp (cannabis sativa) targets pain receptors in the endocannabinoid system and tells them to relax.

How it works:

When we work out, inflammation is produced by repetitive motion, damaging our muscles. After, our bodies repair these muscles, and they grow back even stronger. Inflammation comes into play during the repair process when our bodies increase blood flow to the affected area to replenish oxygen, fuel muscles and clear waste.

Sometimes we push it a little too far, and that’s ok. Our bodies are built for recovery but why not add an aid in this recovery to take the edge off and recover faster. We use our Relief Lotion Before and after workouts. We’d found reduction in swelling, more range of motion in our joints and less pain comes a higher stamina. Our customer feedback for post workout recovery has been amazing. Take their word for it:

Take it from these guys:

Toi J: “It works like magic after I’ve hit the gym hard & have sore muscles. It’s the best relief.”

Robert T: “I use Dr. Milo daily as a part of my recovery routine. Love it. It’s nice to have that little bit of help when you’re healing up and getting ready for your next mission.
