Sometimes misfortune may be a catalyst to discovering new ways of healing. This is how Liberty Lotion began. Samson Garner was working in an industrial environment when he had an accident which left him with crippling pain and a decreased quality of life. He had such a severe injury that metal plates were put in his upper back and he was prescribed high doses of pharmaceutical painkillers. Finding these treatments largely ineffective with unpleasant side effects, Samson’s imagination and creative mind led him to find out what natural solutions existed to help his debilitating issues.

Samson was amazed to find that there were many natural options that could have a profoundly positive effect on his quality of life without harmful side effects. In his process of discovery, he came across CBD, or Cannabidiol, a substance found in a variety of plants and other sources, usually derived from hemp. He learned that scientific studies have indicated that CBD has a strongly potent effect on inflammation and appears to help the body regulate and regenerate by boosting and balancing the endocannabinoid system.

That’s when Liberty Lotion was born. Soon came Liberty Lixir and Liberty Lip Balm, and that was just the start.

I love that Liberty Lotion’s guiding principles are to use the best sources available and to support small businesses which help make our country great. They are rigorous about labeling transparency and quality. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid commonly found in hemp. In anecdotal stories and scientific studies, it has been indicated that CBD may be a viable treatment for anxiety, chronic pain, stress, neuralgia, migraines, arthritis, and more, especially those conditions with a direct relationship to inflammation.

Evidence suggests that CBD is a potent anti-inflammatory, and, since inflammation is the cause of so many diseases, CBD has the potential to help so many.

I was sent the Liberty Lixer ULTRA 1,000mg 1oz Tincture  to review. Liberty Lixir Ultra contains 1,000 mg in a 30 ml bottle dispensing 6.7 mg CBD per pump. You spray it under the tongue so it can be rapidly absorbed. Within 15 minutes, I began to feel a wave of relaxation that was very pleasant. As there is no THC in the Liberty Lixer, I was able to get work done, the only difference being that I was not in a lot of pain. As a fibromyalgia sufferer, I have daily chronic pain which can be annoying at its best and debilitating at its worst. It wears on you and it wears you out. I am always researching and writing, yet back, neck and shoulder pain (which often causes headaches as well) make what I love to do unpleasant.

After taking the Liberty Lixer spray, I definitely felt my shoulders were looser, my neck pain diminished and that unpleasant tension and stress was gone. I’m not saying that it was a miracle cure and all my pain disappeared; it just took it way down to where it really didn’t bother me, which is truly a blessing. I also noticed that when I took the Liberty Lixir at night I was able to sleep better and woke up without any ill effects.

I love that this company is all about quality and customer service.  Check out their topical lotions and lip balms too!

I have been given this product as part of a product review through the Chronic Illness Bloggers network. Although the product was a gift, all opinions in this review remain my own and I was in no way influenced by the company.

Have you heard about or tried CBD oil? It’s very popular right now for treating pain, inflammation, anxiety, sleeplessness, and many other issues. It is available online and also through medical dispensaries. Since I have fibromyalgia with a lot of daily pain impacting my life, I was very intrigued. When an opportunity came along through the Chronic Illness Bloggers network, I was very interested.

In case you are wondering, CBD stands for Cannabidiol. Cannabidiol is a cannabis compound with significant medical benefits. While it does not make people feel high, it can be pleasantly relaxing.

Clinical and Scientific investigation, much of which is sponsored by the U.S. government, illuminates CBD’s potential as a treatment for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, MS, chronic pain, schizophrenia, PTSD, depression, antibiotic-resistant infections, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders. CBD also has neuroprotective and neurogenic effects, and its anti-cancer properties are currently being researched at several academic research centers in the United States and elsewhere. Evidence suggests that CBD is safe even at high doses. Some cannabinoids have been synthesized and are prescribed for nausea relief from chemotherapy as well as other ailments.

CBD oil made from the entire hemp plant is readily available online and is legal in all 50 states, as long as the THC level is less than .3 THC on a dry weight basis, thanks to the Agricultural Act of 2014, AKA the “Farm Bill”.

I will admit that I really had no idea what the effects would be so I was happy that my first experience was a topical CBD oil. This way I could easily control the amount and gauge its effects.

I immediately loved the smell of the Premier Biomedical CBD oil which is very uplifting. The roll-on has Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Shea Butter, Eucalyptus Oil, Sage and Citrus Essential oils among other ingredients. It honestly smells heavenly!  The Cannabidiol used is of the highest quality and the natural, organic, certified non-GMO inert aromatic ingredient enhancers boost the effectiveness and efficiency of the CBD blend.

The roll-on comes in a convenient, pocket-size applicator which is great to take with me and throw into my bag. It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly. It’s non-greasy and I apply it to wherever I am hurting. I love that it has a ball that you roll on wherever need be and it feels soothing and cooling. Premier Biomedical Pain Management Solutions CBD Roll-On with 110mg of CBD Oil is easily applied directly to the skin, for relief of minor aches and pains.

But enough information, you are saying, tell me how it works! Well, for me, it worked wonderfully. As far as pain goes, I loved it. I could apply it to my lower back, my wrists, my shoulder, wherever I was hurting and the pain definitely diminished. I felt naturally relaxed and slept better.

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests CBD possesses medical potential for natural relief from : knee pain, shoulder pain, joint pain, pain from arthritis, muscle soreness and tenderness, headaches and migraines.

Premier Biomedical also has a pain patch which delivers 4 days of pain relief. The formulations contain no psychoactive components.

All of their pain relief products are opioid-free, and 50-state legal.

So, whether you’re like me and new to CBD oil or whether you have used it before, I highly recommend Premier Biomedical CBD oil. The price is also extremely reasonable as it lasts quite a while.

Life can be stressful enough so why not use something natural to ease your day and allow you to enjoy life to the fullest?

Life is not meant for suffering and stress, but to be enjoyed and shared with those we love.

Say Goodbye to Lower Back Pain by Yamuna Zake – Guest Post

Say Good Bye to Lower Back Pain
by Yamuna Zake for Yamuna Body Rolling
It is almost epidemic in our society that at some point most people will suffer from some sort of lower back problem. Women can even be more susceptible to lower back issues from pregnancies and particularly post-delivery due to the fact that the abdominal muscles are no longer supporting the lower back from the front or the sides. Then add that suddenly a woman is carrying a baby, multi-tasking with the baby on one side while doing other things with the other side, in a body that has not yet reorganized itself after labor.  A woman’s body undergoes tremendous changes throughout a pregnancy and then with the intensity of labor it is almost impossible to have the body you had before! Most people’s alignment is never perfect to begin with, but after pregnancy most women will have misaligned hips. Add this to not having abdominal muscles that are connected to the back and it is easy to understand why back pain begins very often during and post pregnancies.
I began to look at why so many women suffer from lower back problems one day when a woman of over 60 years old came to me for a treatment complaining about lower back problems. When I asked her when it began, she replied, “after the birth of my first son.” I asked her how old her son was and she laughed and said “40 years old”!  I then began to ask every woman who had children who came to me complaining about lower back issues and almost half the time, they reported that their lower backs began to bother them after childbirth.
This led me to analyze why this is so frequent and what information do women need to have in order to prevent lower back weakness and discomfort.
Here are some particular things to pay attention to:
1. Most people are not aware that their hips and lower backs are misaligned. Find someone who can assess your pelvis, hip and lower back alignment and offer guidance.
2. It is important to keep the abdominal muscles long, toned and strong. This means that they keep the rib cage lifted so it does not come collapsing down into the pelvis putting unnecessary pressure into the lower back.
3. Make sure you’re keeping adequate length between your ribs and pelvis in the front, sides and back of your body. Many women expand their front ribs forward during pregnancy to make room for the baby.  This causes a strong contraction in the lower back ribs. This causes pressure, upper body weight, and compression directly down into the lower back.
4. The importance of developing and restoring the abdominal muscle connection to supporting the spine is crucial for maintaining a healthy lower back.
5. Keeping the ribcage, shoulders, head, and neck well aligned and upright helps to keep pressure out of the lower back.
6. Many people stand more on one side of the body. Women with young children do this even more! This creates side-to-side imbalances that can cause lower back problems. Try to stay as equal as possible in your legs, hips, and back when standing and when picking up or carrying a child.
7. If your feet are collapsing in the arches, most likely this is contributing to your lower back problems. Check out Yamuna Foot Fitness and rebuild your healthy foot function after pregnancy!
8. Do not live with lower back discomfort! Don’t wait for it to go away on its own. This practice might work the first couple times, but when it stops working most likely the pain and problem will have reached a much more serious level and will be harder to fix.
9. Remember that after you have a baby, your body is not the one you had before. It has shifted and altered at every stage of the pregnancy and even more during labor. Take time to first let it rest. Then before running back to the gym go to have your body alignment assessed and corrected if need be.
If you are already experiencing lower back discomfort seek assistance in aligning and getting all your parts in working order.
10. After labor, all your internal organs have shifted. Very often the intestines, bladder, and uterus have dropped. This can contribute to lower back problems. Remember, you have 33 feet of small intestines, and 11 or more feet of large intestines. All of this weight drops down into the pelvis. Find a professional who can help you to lift the organs back up and prevent unnecessary bladder lifts.
