Exploring the Endocannabinoid System

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date October 5, 2023

If you’re ready to read a lot of Science… then keep reading, it’s a mouthful, But we promise it’ll be incredibly insightful.

Did you know that all mammals have an endocannabinoid system (ECS)? This system is responsible for maintaining homeostasis, or balance, within the body. The ECS works to regulate a variety of bodily functions such as sleep, appetite, pain perception and response, and even mood. In this blog post, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the ECS and how it works.

What Is the Endocannabinoid System?

The ECS is composed of two primary receptors—CB1 and CB2—that are located throughout the body in various organs and tissue. These receptors interact with phytocannabinoids (cannabinoids derived from plants), which are found in cannabis products such as hemp oil and CBD oil. When these phytocannabinoids bind to CB1 or CB2 receptors, they can trigger a variety of effects throughout the body.

How Does It Work?

The ECS plays a role in regulating many different bodily processes including mood, memory, sleep patterns, immunity, inflammation levels, digestive function, metabolism, energy levels, and more. When functioning correctly, these processes work together to maintain homeostasis within the body by responding to any external stimuli or changes in environment that may affect its well-being. For example, when someone is injured or sick their immune system will activate to fight off infection or disease; however if their immune system is overactive then inflammation can result which can be detrimental to one’s health. The ECS helps keep this process regulated so that it does not get out of hand.

The Role of Phytocannbinoids

Phytocannabinoids are cannabinoids that are derived from plants such as hemp or cannabis sativa L., which contains both THC (tetrahydrocannabidiol) and CBD (cannabidiol). While THC is known for its psychoactive effects (i.e., getting “high”), CBD does not have any psychoactive properties but has been linked to a number of potential therapeutic benefits due to its interaction with the ECS receptors. Research suggests that CBD may help reduce inflammation and promote relaxation without causing any intoxicating effects like those associated with THC consumption.

Our Lotion Helps Achieve this

All mammals have an endocannabinoid system that helps maintain balance in the body by regulating a variety of functions including sleep cycles, appetite control, pain perception and response as well as mood regulation all working together to promote overall well-being. Phytocannabinoids found in hemp oil or CBD oil interact with CB1 and CB2 receptors found throughout our bodies triggering certain effects such as relief from inflammation without causing any intoxicating effects like those associated with THC consumption. Understanding how your endocannabinoid system works can help you make better decisions about supplementing your diet with products containing beneficial phytocabinoids for optimal health benefits.

We hope this blog post shed some light on why understanding your endocannabinoid system is important.

Why You Should Read Ingredients Labels

When we were first formulating for Dr. Milo, our eyes were opened to all the toxic ingredients placed in formulation.

Reading ingredients labels is an important habit to have, both for your health and the environment. Food products are not the only household items that should be checked for ingredients. From cleaning supplies to makeup, it’s worth taking a few moments to review what you have in your home and examining the labels to see what exactly you’re bringing into your space. Let’s take a look at why reading ingredients labels is so important.

Ingredients Matter

It’s absolutely essential that you understand the difference between natural and artificial ingredients. Many manufacturers will use synthetic chemicals or preservatives with long names that can cause allergic reactions, headaches, and other ailments. By understanding what is in the products, you can make sure they are safe to use and consume. For example, if you are looking for a face wash or moisturizer it would be beneficial to look for all-natural ingredients such as aloe vera or plant oils rather than synthetic chemicals like parabens or phthalates which may be harmful when absorbed into your skin.

Here is a BAD-LIST of Ingredients from EWG.org:

Environmental Impact

Another reason to read ingredient labels is because of their impact on the environment. Many chemical-laden cleaning products release toxins into our air and water systems, polluting our cities and oceans. If you want to help reduce your environmental footprint then switching out toxic cleaners and opting for more natural options is a great place to start. Natural solutions such as vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and essential oils can get the job done without creating any harm on our planet.

Health Benefits

Reading ingredient labels can also improve your overall health by helping you make smart decisions about what goes into your body. Knowing what goes into processed foods can help you understand how many calories and fats are present in each item so that you can make healthier choices while grocery shopping. It’s also important to pay attention to food allergies when buying packaged goods; some people may be sensitive or allergic to certain food additives such as gluten or dairy which could cause serious harm if ingested unknowingly.

Reading ingredient labels on everything from food products to cleaning supplies is an important habit that should not be overlooked. Take your time to read the backs of products.

Not only does it keep us informed of what we are putting into our bodies but it also helps us contribute towards a healthier environment by selecting natural alternatives whenever possible. Being mindful of what we bring home from the store is an easy way to ensure we are making better decisions for ourselves and our planet.

Comparing Topical Hemp Products Versus Ingestible Hemp Products

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date August 5, 2023

As the popularity of hemp-based products continues to steadily rise, more and more people are looking for ways to incorporate it into their daily wellness routines. However, one of the main questions many people have is what are the differences between topical hemp products vs ingestible hemp products that your liver has to process? Let’s explore further.

Topical Hemp Products

Topical hemp products are designed to be used externally. Some popular topical forms of hemp-based products can include lotionss, salves, creams and even bath bombs. These items are applied directly onto the skin in order to target any aches or pains you may be dealing with. The effects from topicals typically hit within minutes and last for 4-6 hours on average. However, some users report feeling relief for up to 8 hours after using a topical product.

Dr. Milo’s Topical Relief Lotion is a fast-absorbing, full-spectrum NANO CBD/CBN/CBG formula. It contains all plant-derived ingredients, that offer reduced inflammation and relaxation. It will absorb into the skin within seconds, work within minutes, and last approximately 2-4 hours. We use a NANO, full-spectrum hemp for higher potency, and faster absorption. Our unisex essential oil-based scent won’t stain your clothes so use all over your body. We like it on the insides of our wrists to soothe anxiety and on our temples for migraine relief. Massage into your aches and feel the relief.

Our Relief Lotion

In terms of effectiveness, topicals have been known to provide a localized effect but not much else beyond that. This means that if you’re looking for something that can provide relief from specific pain points such as a sore knee or an aching back, then topicals could be just what you’re looking for. The plus of using a high quality Relief Lotion such as ours, is that it absorbs directly into the affected area and doesn’t pass through your bloodstream so you liver isn’t processing the substance.

Ingestible Hemp Products

In comparison to topical hemp products, ingestible forms such as tinctures and edibles work differently because they must first pass through your body’s digestive system before taking effect. This means that it will take longer for these types of products to kick in (30 minutes – 2 hours) but once they do they will typically produce effects that last anywhere from 4-8 hours depending on how much was consumed and how sensitive someone is towards certain cannabinoids found in hemp extract. These types of products tend to produce more widespread effects which makes them ideal for treating chronic conditions like anxiety or insomnia.

If you’re wanting something that provides localized relief from pain points then look no further than topicals whereas if you’re wanting something that can help with systemic issues like anxiety or fatigue then ingestible should be your go-to option. Ultimately it all boils down to personal preference so make sure you experiment with both options before deciding which one works best for you.

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.

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!
