But CBD is also becoming a popular addition to skin care products.

There’s still no research available to suggest that CBD can cure the common cold or the flu, but CBD does have powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can help us feel better when we’re feeling under the weather. \n\nIf you’ve got the cold or flu, CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties may help you feel better by: \n\n* Easing sinus pressure and headaches\n* Soothing aches and pains \n* Reducing nausea\n* Calming a persistent cough \n\nAnd when we feel better, we’re more likely to take better care of ourselves and recover more quickly. Lucky for you, CBD is now easily accessible no matter where you are. If you want to prep for cold and flu season, here are a few products you can keep in your medicine cabinet for when you’re feeling a bit rundown.\n\nRELATED: [5 HEMP CBD PRODUCTS FOR YOUR ACHES & PAINS](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5ba0209f28d6e8000971f7e0/5-hemp-cbd-products-for-your-aches-and-pains)\n\n### 1.

As long as they're quality, lab-tested, whole-plant CBD products, they can be just as effective for some folks as marijuana products containing psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nToday, we're excited to announce our nationwide online store of hemp-derived CBD products—all of which have been staff-tested and curated against our high standards of quality and safety.\n\nHere are the HelloMD staff's three favorite hemp-derived CBD products to help ease stress.

All you have to do is use the dropper to place the oil under your tongue.

And the company doesn't use any chemicals in its full-spectrum cannabinoid extract.

A Massage With Vertly Relief Lotion Will Relax Stressed Muscles\n\nThe problem we've found with many CBD creams and lotions is that they either smell funky or don't absorb well.

Besides helping to relax and calm, it also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help ease pain. \n\nCBD is found in marijuana, but it's also found in hemp. Hemp is just another variety of the marijuana plant that medical marijuana comes from. But it differs in one important way: Hemp only contains a tiny amount of THC (0.3% or less by law), and therefore doesn't impart any psychoactive effects.\n\nThat's why hemp can be legally grown and harvested across the U.S., and it's why products derived from hemp aren't bound by the same restrictions as those derived from marijuana. For the most part, hemp-derived CBD products are available to anyone, anywhere.\n\nHemp-derived CBD isn't a magic bullet, and what works for one person may not work for another. But if you're looking for a natural way to deal with stress, we think you should give these hemp-derived CBD products a try. \n\nPhoto credits: [Wildflower](https://www.instagram.com/p/BkiS3Rpl2hj/) (vape pen image), [Elixinol Japan](https://www.instagram.com/p/BnDBghsHxIw/) (hemp oil image) & [Vertly](https://www.instagram.com/p/BnW5VGChrgF/) (relief lotion image)","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.492537313432836,"src":"/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/14b42/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.jpg","srcSet":"/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/f836f/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.jpg 200w,\n/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/2244e/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.jpg 400w,\n/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/14b42/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.jpg 800w,\n/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/47498/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.jpg 1200w,\n/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/5d3d7/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.jpg 1206w","srcWebp":"/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/58556/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/61e93/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.webp 200w,\n/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/1f5c5/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.webp 400w,\n/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/58556/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.webp 800w,\n/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/99238/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.webp 1200w,\n/static/83d56e9e45b24cffc1d54d69b03ce9c4/5c285/3d79ec043617d8b838c74ea85f579769.webp 1206w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Article_2854-markdown","title":"4 Hemp-Derived CBD Products to Ease Pain","slug":"4-hemp-derived-cbd-products-to-ease-pain","content":"It’s hard to imagine just how much physical pain Americans experience. [More than 100 million adults in the U.S. suffer from chronic pain](https://www.nap.edu/read/13172/chapter/2), according to the The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. And there’s no one cause—injury, disease, genetics or psychological issues can all bring on debilitating, chronic pain. \n\nSimilarly, there isn’t just one pain treatment. Cannabidiol (CBD), a natural cannabinoid found in hemp and known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, has become a major source of hope and promise in the fight against pain. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### How Hemp CBD Helps Treat Pain\n\nAll mammals, humans included, have something called an endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a system of receptors that winds all throughout the body and brain. It serves to [keep the body at homeostasis](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/marijuana-cannabinoids-and-homeostasis-a-balancing-act) via two-way communication with other systems, working together to keep everything happy and balanced. The ECS plays a vital role in the healthy functioning of all sorts of biological processes including:\n\n* Pain\n* Appetite\n* Sleep\n* Digestion\n* Memory\n* Immune function\n \nSo, how does CBD fit into all of this?\n\nECS receptors act like a lock. And cannabinoids, whether naturally produced by our bodies (endocannabinoids) or from a plant (phytocannabinoids), act like a key. When you consume the phytocannabinoid CBD, it activates these receptors. They then begin to communicate specific commands to nearby cells, resulting in particular biological responses. \n\nHow this [relationship between CBD and the ECS works to treat pain is illuminated in one study](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4604191/), published in the _Journal of Neurotherapeutics_. In this study, researchers looked into CBD as a treatment for seizures and concluded that CBD may treat pain by inhibiting the body from absorbing anadamide.\n\n[Anandamide is an endocannabinoid associated with pain regulation and feelings of bliss or joy](https://hellomd.com/articles/eating-anandamide-the-bliss-molecule). So, having more anandamide freely available in the bloodstream can help reduce the perception of pain. \n\nBeyond the perception of pain, [CBD can reduce the cause of pain by employing its anti-inflammatory properties](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/what-is-cbd-and-how-can-it-help-me).\n\n### Hemp CBD Is Available Nationwide\n\nHemp CBD oil is derived, as the name suggests, from hemp rather than marijuana, though on a molecular level, CBD from either type of plant is exactly the same. Legally, hemp is defined as having less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the cannabinoid most known for its psychoactive high. Because of this, hemp-derived CBD is legally available in all 50 states. \n\nNowadays, there are some hemp CBD companies that produce high-potency, high-quality products that people rely on to treat their pain, whether acute from a headache or chronic from an old sports injury. Here are some of our favorite hemp-derived CBD products.\n\n### 1. Cured Full Spectrum Raw Oil Includes a Range of Healthful Cannabinoids\n\n![Cured Full Spectrum Raw Oil](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-12046cce-997b-48aa-b1c0-4bbef0aa5eae/original.png)\n\nTinctures are one of the most popular ways to consume hemp CBD oil, but not all are created equal. Most of the hemp tinctures on the market are CBD isolates, meaning they’re refined until all components are filtered out except for CBD. But the Full Spectrum Raw Oil tincture by Cured Nutrition is made from whole hemp flower and includes a full spectrum of hemp cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids. \n\nCured prides itself in being the least-refined hemp extract on the market, using all of the components found naturally in hemp for increased efficacy, including [other lesser-known cannabinoids](https://hellomd.com/articles/beyond-thc-and-cbd-what-you-need-to-know-about-cbc-cbn-and-cbg) like:\n\n* Cannabigerol (CBG)\n* Cannabichromene (CBC)\n* Cannabinol (CBN)\n\nTake a dose of this tincture daily for ongoing pain relief. You can put the tincture directly in your mouth or under the tongue. Or you can mix the tincture in coffee or another beverage of your choice.\n\nRELATED: [WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR WHEN BUYING HEMP CBD OIL](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/what-to-watch-out-for-when-buying-hemp-cbd-oil)\n\n### 2.

Or you may just hate the taste of every tincture you’ve tried. If any of that sounds familiar, these [Elixinol hemp oil capsules may become your new favorite product. \n\nElixinol extracts its organic hemp oil using CO2 in a chemical-free process, and the capsules are designed to absorb quickly and efficiently into the body for long-lasting relief. This product is especially good for those with inflammation of the digestive system that leads to cramping and pain.

But today’s hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) products offer relief from multiple kinds of pain. And they do it without the side effects and risk of addiction that often accompany drug-based pain remedies. \n\nPlus, hemp-derived CBD products are available to anyone, anywhere because they contain only trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient that makes cannabis a restricted substance.  \n\nLet’s look at the different kinds of pain, along with five of the newest hemp CBD products for easing aches and pains from a variety of causes.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### How Pain Works\n\nWhen you’re in pain, for whatever reason, the fact that it hurts is all you care about. But your body and brain process pain-related messages differently, depending on what caused the pain in the first place. \n\nNociceptive pain is the pain that you feel after an injury. When an event causes damage to the body’s tissues or bones, local cells release chemicals that activate receptors on nerves, sending messages to the spinal cord and then to the brain.  \n\nBut pain can also arise from damage to the nervous system itself. This kind of pain, called neuropathic pain, happens when the protective insulation around nerves breaks down. This is what happens in conditions like Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and diabetes.  \n\nOther kinds of pain appear to arise from dysfunctions in the nervous system itself, so that pain signals between the nervous system and the brain aren’t processed correctly. This is the case with systemwide, or central pain disorders like fibromyalgia, which appears to have no clear cause.\n\n### CBD Targets Pain Mechanisms \n\nBecause the mechanism of pain signaling can depend on the cause, numerous drugs have been developed to target and interrupt these pain-signaling processes like: \n\n* Opioids\n* Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \n* Analgesics like aspirin and acetaminophen \n\nBut recent research shows—and pain patients who take cannabis agree—that for many kinds of pain, [cannabis can replace or reduce the use of these kinds of drugs](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/news/20180420/can-marijuana-be-the-answer-for-pain), thanks mainly to CBD.\n\nCBD and THC are the most common and abundant of the many compounds contained in the _Cannabis sativa_ plant. And [both CBD and THC can play a role in pain control](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18035205).\n\nBut CBD, which has no psychoactive effects at all, is the key to reducing the inflammatory response that’s at the root of pain signaling, whether from a:\n\n* Sudden injury\n* Headache\n* Chronic neurological disease \n\nStudies reveal that CBD can block inflammatory responses in cells that are activated at the site of a trauma to the body and switch them to an anti-inflammatory mode that reduces the intensity of pain signals sent to the brain. \n\nMore than that though, CBD also affects pain signaling in the central nervous system itself. It does this by increasing the production of [anandamide, a cannabinoid chemical that’s naturally produced by the body](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5a949d06f24d1300077ccb66/eating-anandamide-the-bliss-molecule). Anandamide acts like serotonin and dopamine to promote feelings of relaxation and well-being. \n\nCBD may also boost natural levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits the intense signaling activity that accompanies pain.\n\n### Why Get Your CBD From Hemp?\n\nThere are many varieties of the _Cannabis sativa_ plant. Some are rich in THC, and these are the varieties used to make the products available to people in states with medical marijuana programs and legal recreational cannabis. These products aren’t legal for people outside of these particular states or who aren’t a part of their state’s medical marijuana program.\n\nBut products made from hemp are available to everyone nationwide. This is because hemp has only trace amounts of THC. In fact, any company producing hemp-derived CBD products must have their products and plants tested. And as long as they come in at 0.3% THC or lower, they can be sold to anyone in all 50 states. \n\nThis is wonderful news for folks who live in states where there’s no legal medical or adult-use cannabis. Hemp CBD can also be the best option for those who want to try cannabis, but don’t want to have a psychoactive experience—no matter which state they live in. \n\nThe CBD molecule is the same no matter what kind of _Cannabis sativa_ it comes from, so hemp CBD products have the potential to be as therapeutic as other CBD-rich marijuana products. You just have to take the time to do your research to identify hemp companies that use quality plants, extraction techniques and processing methods.\n\nRELATED: [WHAT IS HEMP CBD?](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/55f6ea9c65393944020d0000/what-is-hemp-cbd) \n\n### 5 Hemp CBD Products That Can Ease Your Aches & Pains\n\nAnd like cannabis CBD, hemp CBD acts on multiple pain-signaling processes to provide relief from a wide range of aches and pains.

As well, Wildflower is all about marrying holistic wellness with product innovation.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nHelloMD spoke with Wildflower’s Creative Director Amy Yamamura to find out more about how the company got its start, the quality of Wildflower’s products and why she believes in hemp-derived CBD.\n\n### You mentioned that both the CEO William MacLean and you suffered from chronic pain. Maybe you can give us a little bit of background on how your search for pain relief was the genesis for Wildflower. \n\n![CEO William Maclean uses Wildflower products for his aches and pains.](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-051de695-fcb8-4f68-a70a-6baae773882a/original.png)\n\n**Amy Yamamura:** William’s always been an athlete, specifically a volleyball player, so he's had injuries through his whole career. I'm an amateur athlete myself with anxiety. And I'm a mother of two, so I'm constantly stressed. So, I was very interested in finding some relief.\n\nBut I really had an opposition to using over-the-counter or prescription medication, so was always sort of in limbo, getting naturopathic healing and not really finding something very effective. And then that's how we sort of really got strongly interested in CBD. \n\nSo, we launched Wildflower about four years ago. When we first started the business, we were going to be a cannabis-focused, a THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)-focused brand. And so, at first we were developing vaporizers. And then when we came to discover CBD and the potential of it, we sort of switched our focus towards more than the recreational and just really on the wellness side of things.\n\nAnd since then, from the beginning, we were very focused, not just on the sort of medical aspect of things, but also on our branding and the way you present things so that it's accessible to everybody. We didn't want to pigeonhole ourselves into just one market or the cannabis market. We wanted to be accessible to children, to—in the future—seniors, to everybody. There are huge applications for pets, for everything when it comes to CBD.\n\nRELATED: [5 PRODUCTS THAT’LL CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT HEMP-DERIVED CBD](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5b84620c81fea20008e62b9e/5-products-thatll-change-your-mind-about-hemp-derived-cbd)\n\n### And in terms of you being a mother and dealing with anxiety and stress, how has hemp-derived CBD and Wildflower, the creation of all of these products you've made, how have they helped you?\n\n**AY:** Tremendously. I honestly use everything every day. We don't have a huge selection of products. What we have is CBD capsules and tinctures, soaps and topicals, and vaporizers as well. My whole family uses it. I even use it for my dog.\n\n### So, you put your dog in the bath and use the CBD bath soaks on your Yorkie?\n\n![Rio gets bathed in Wildflower CBD+ soap.](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-cf5de5e1-8f89-441f-bcad-ae95d1e41b28/original.png)\n\n**AY:** Yes, my whole family uses CBD, including our dog Rio. He is a 14-year-old Yorkie, and I use our Vanilla CBD+ Soap for his shampoo. It lathers up great, makes his hair soft, since Yorkies have hair, not fur, and the scent is very faint, so we both love it.\n\nI even give him the sample tinctures with no flavor in it. We currently have flavor and aroma in our tinctures. But with the samples I put it on his dog food all of the time. \n\n### Can you speak specifically to how William has felt that CBD has helped him through athletic recovery? \n\n**AY:** William has been an active beach volleyball player for most of his life, and there was nothing out there that was completely natural and effective for his muscle and joint pain until we discovered CBD. The CBD+ Cool Stick has been a life saver for post-workout pain and muscle treatments.\n\nThere’s the added benefit of CBD that helps with sunburns. William says he started to notice this benefit after he used the stick on his inflamed neck and shoulder. His sunburn would get way better whenever he used it.\n\n### Can you speak to the development of your disposable vaporizer, the combination of the essential oils into it and really what you stand for with this product, because it's a somewhat unique product out on the market.\n\n**AY:** We were always interested in doing a concentrated oil and the technology came William’s way. It was the best tech that we've seen on the market, because it was made in the U.S. It was made by engineers that were working on Boeing, aerodynamic engineers. So, it had a very, very solid technology.\n\nMost of the vaporizers out there, when you open them up, they’re quite cheap, and there are a lot of harmful metals and other things that are in them. So, we were really intrigued by this technology, and we had a partner that we work with to make the concentration, the CBD oil.\n\nIt was my idea to combine the essential oils, because we really believe in plant medicine and the healing properties the plants give us naturally. I thought: We have two great things. Why not combine them? And there was nothing like that on the market. And I wanted it myself—to have something that's [aromatherapy with CBD](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5ae758a4049b4f000a64e928/aromatherapy-is-smelling-cannabis-enough-to-reap-its-benefits).\n\nAnd so we just tried a whole bunch of essential oils to see what worked. It was a lot of trial and error. We're still always doing research and development for the formulations. And it's an ongoing effort. \n\n### Some people have said there are no high-quality, hemp-based CBD vaporizers. Other people have said you should never combine essential oils even though we understand that they're essentially terpenes. How do you stand behind the safety and the inhalation of the different oils that you have in your hemp-based CBD vaporizers? \n\n**AY:** Wildflower's vaporizers are a smart and modern CBD delivery device.  When you breathe in air from the device, the suction activates a small battery [to heat] up the liquid CBD formulation. As the CBD oil heats up, it turns into a mist consisting of oil vapor and carbon dioxide, along with the active compounds released from the CBD and essential oils. \n\nVaping isn’t the same as smoking. Smoking is the act of burning substances and then inhaling the burned material. There’s no burning of any substance when using Wildflower's vaporizers. The smoke-like haze that you see is vapor, similar to steam coming off of boiling water, as the liquid inside our vaporizer heats up to approximately 300 degrees F.\n \nWe create custom CBD formulations from CBD oil that’s grown in and harvested from the clean soil in the EU, with essential oils sourced from reputable United States companies. Our CBD oil is tested by a third-party lab to make sure there are no contaminants or chemical pesticides, ensuring the safety of our product. \n\nWe just launched a rechargeable vaporizer. We really would like to move towards the rechargeable, more environmentally friendly, but at the same time there’s a time and place for the disposable vaporizer. So we want to keep both options available. \n\n### Where do you source all of your materials? Do you sort of have relationships with farms? How do you make sure that all of your ingredients are of the highest quality?\n\n**AY:** We try to cultivate a relationship with all of our partners wherever the ingredient is coming from. In terms of CBD and extractions, we do visit the sites, and we work with the best, in our opinion, the best extractors responsible. Our CBD is sourced from the EU, so in order to vet that, we talk to partner overseas and we do independent lab testing on our oils.\n\n### You mentioned using your products for anxiety. Are there any other conditions that you think the Wildflower hemp-based CBD products are great for? \n\n![Wildflower CBD+ Healing Stick](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-d7ec44ee-6e95-40ab-80bd-eebdaacd2bdc/original.png)\n\n**AY:** Yeah, for sure. Our goal was topicals, Cooling Stick and Healing Stick. For example, I use it whenever I have like a zit or inflammation on my skin. We found out it really works for sunburn, because when we were using it for shoulder pain, we found it was effective for sunburn, too. It's got a very strong minty scent, but it works. So I use it for those skin conditions, and it definitely works.\n\nAnd in terms of capsules and tinctures, I used to get a lot of cold sores, and I'd have to take medical chemical creams and all that. But now I take the tincture right away and sometimes even rub it onto my cold sore, and it works miracles for me.","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.36986301369863,"src":"/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/14b42/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.jpg","srcSet":"/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/f836f/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.jpg 200w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/2244e/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.jpg 400w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/14b42/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.jpg 800w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/47498/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.jpg 1200w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/0e329/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.jpg 1600w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/c59b8/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.jpg 1850w","srcWebp":"/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/58556/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/61e93/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.webp 200w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/1f5c5/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.webp 400w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/58556/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.webp 800w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/99238/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.webp 1200w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/7c22d/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.webp 1600w,\n/static/e8d579e26cd9eb636b6514a680650055/6b634/c9e04dcf94f6d094c83b124ffd531619.webp 1850w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Article_2807-markdown","title":"5 Products That’ll Change Your Mind About Hemp-Derived CBD","slug":"5-products-thatll-change-your-mind-about-hemp-derived-cbd","content":"Why should you try cannabidiol (CBD) that comes from hemp? Well, we know that CBD has a variety of healing properties. And it can be extracted from both cannabis marijuana, which has a higher tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content, and cannabis hemp, which only contains 0.3% THC or lower by law. \n\nSome argue that CBD from cannabis marijuana is far superior, but I beg to differ. For many years I’ve enjoyed the therapeutic benefits of CBD derived from hemp, as well as from cannabis marijuana. And although there are some differences, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy hemp-derived CBD. \n\nI think about that time I accidently allowed my small kids and myself to get badly sunburned on our Hawaiian vacation. I used CBD from hemp as a salve on their skin. When we woke up the next morning, the burns were non-existent—true story.\n\nCBD is CBD, whether it comes from either variety of the cannabis plant. The molecular structure is exactly the same. Hemp-derived CBD is legal in all 50 states and doesn’t have the same regulations as cannabis marijuana. You can also have peace of mind knowing that you won’t get high or have an uncomfortable experience with hemp-derived CBD as it contains minimal amounts of THC. \n\nHelloMD now [sells the highest-quality CBD products](www.hellolift.com/) nationwide. We’ve done the legwork for you—we only work with brands that lab test their products and use hemp-derived CBD that comes from reputable sources for the safest CBD products around.\n\nHere are some of my favorite hemp-derived CBD products and why I like them so much. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### 1. Melt Stress Away with Wildflower’s Disposable CBD Vaporizer \n\n![Wildflower Disposable Hemp CBD Vaporizer](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-bd09f5ce-ad41-4141-ae62-782e3560ea99/original.png)\n\nLast year in New York City, I ran into Wildflower’s [CBD + Aches](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5b5770d702f1740001522c60/cbd-aches) vaporizer. Super intrigued, I purchased the vaporizer expecting a less-than-stellar experience, as I’m a bit of a CBD snob. Well, now I love my Wildflower vaporizer and typically have it with me, especially when I may be in a stressful situation. \n\nSpeaking of which, last week was my birthday, and I foolishly decided to go skydiving. It hit me about ten minutes before the plane took off just how stressed I felt. Fortunately, I had my Wildflower pen with me and after a few inhales, I was suddenly much calmer. \n\nCBD is well known for having powerful anti-anxiety properties and it has been shown to treat:\n\n* Panic disorder\n* Social anxiety\n* PTSD \n* Moderate depression\n\nAnother plus with Wildflower’s vaporizer is that not only does the company use quality ingredients in their vape oils, but they made sure the actual pen was made from metals that are safe when heated. Not every company that produces disposable vape pens pays attention to the pen as well as the oil. \n\nAnd if you care to know, I did jump from the plane, and I made it to the ground safely.   \n\n### 2.

In Blair’s words, “[Our philosophy is that beauty is inside and out, but it starts from within](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5b527f538904b90007731b48/beauty-inside-and-out-verte-essentials-hemp-botanicals). Every solution within our product line is meant to create beauty on the inside but will also show on the outside.”\n\nThe cream is light and smells delicious, gliding onto the skin effortlessly, without any greasy film. My skin positively laps it up. It’s light enough to combine with my vitamin C serum, yet moisturizing enough to use on its own. \n\nFor many years I’ve tried different topical CBD products, and this by far has been my favorite facial lotion to date. Rose de Soie is paraben free and in addition to CBD contains:\n\n* Aloe leaf juice\n* Coconut oil\n* Jojoba seed oil\n* Vitamin E\n* Sunflower seed oil\n* Rose water\n* Geranium extract\n\n### 3. Give Your Pup The Gift of Good Health With CBD Lamb Dog Treats By Holistic Hound \n\n![Holistic Hound CBD Lamb Dog Treats](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-848e30f6-e6af-4a74-a400-5c5a16ed83d0/original.png)\n\nI’m a big fan of [Holistic Hound’s Lamb CBD Dog Treats]( https://www.hellomd.com/products/5b57a1f302f1740001522f34/cbd-dog-treats-3mg). When my 14-year-old rat terrier, Desmond, started having terrible shoulder pain, he could barely walk from our front door to the street corner. The vet suggested we put Desmond on Tramadol, a powerful drug that works similarly to morphine.  We decided Tramadol wasn’t an option for him. His quality of life was plummeting as his pain increased—until we started him on hemp-derived CBD dog treats. \n\nAfter taking CBD treats regularly for about a week, Desmond’s condition improved and soon enough he was back to walking. And best of all, he seemed to have his normal smile back. CBD dog treats were a game-changer for him until the time of his death about a year and a half later.\n\nWhen searching for the highest-quality CBD dog treats to sell on HelloMD, we found [Holistic Hound](https://www.hellomd.com/brands/5b5a2979cad6a4000967d6d7/holistic-hound). Founder Heidi Hill developed her products with a mission to improve the overall health and wellness of pets. Her dog treats are made from organic, whole-plant ingredients. \n\nHeidi includes mushroom extract in her products, as she says, “I’ve seen the many benefits of medicinal mushrooms, and have been selling and using them for years. So, I loved the idea of [creating a product that combined mushrooms with the additional incredible benefits of hemp](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5b43e7df8904b90007731ac3/nourish-to-flourish-holistic-hound-hemp-oil-products). We get consistent customer feedback that our products are more effective than others they’ve tried, and I believe that this is due to this powerful combination.” \n\nI’ve been giving Juno, my hunk-of-love 150-pound Boerboel, the lamb CBD dog treats for some hip issues she’s been having, and I can say she loves them.\n\n### 4. Ease Your Aches & Pains With Relieve Pain Cream By Basic Jane \n\n![Basic Jane Hemp CBD Relieve Cream](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-7a7e24a9-f5bb-46c5-aeda-e1d555975658/original.png)\n\nCBD topicals are an approachable way to try hemp-derived CBD, like the [Relieve Pain Cream by Basic Jane](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5b57a97302f1740001522fa3/relieve-pain-cream). This topical really helps me with the aches and pains associated from a good workout or even if I happen to fracture a toe while skipping through a fountain in downtown Montreal on a warm summer’s night (yes, this happened a few weeks ago). \n\nThe Relieve Cream is one of my favorites because the texture of the cream is luxurious without being greasy, it smells like cool wintergreen and it actually works for me.\n\nRelieve was conceived by one of the co-founders of [Basic Jane](https://www.hellomd.com/brands/5b5a158ecad6a4000967d6d5/basic-jane) as way to help her 80-year-old mother deal with chronic pain. Both of the founders, Kersten and Jessica, have a background in research and science, and Kersten has a background as a nurse. \n\nTo help develop the best CBD product for pain relief, they’ve even sequenced the genomes of _Cannabis sativa_ plants, which helped in the formulation of Relieve. Jessica says, “[Basic Jane produces cream, gel, sprays and oils in three signature scents](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5b6f5ec681fea20008e62aed/basic-jane-hemp-cbd-remedies-for-your-aches-and-pains). We also offer Relieve, Relax and Awake lines. Our Relieve line contains our signature blend of wintergreen and peppermint to provide cooling relief for your aches and pains; it comes in a cream, gel, spray or oil.”\n\n### 5. Fight Pain With Full-Spectrum CBD Hemp Oil Drops By Elixinol\n\n![Elixinol Hemp CBD Oil](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-8618f6f1-4aa5-4675-a9dc-53312f38cf07/original.png)\n\nI launched HelloMD with my co-founder because CBD helped stop migraines that plagued me for 25 years. No pharmaceutical helped me manage my pain, with the exception of the opiate Vicodin, which isn’t meant to be a long-term solution. CBD from cannabis not only helped manage my pain but has prevented my migraines altogether. \n\nAlthough, I can’t claim that the [Elixinol Cinnamint Drops](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5b57a95202f1740001522f9f/cbd-hemp-oil-drops) will stop migraines or prevent any other condition, I can say that [Elixinol](https://www.hellomd.com/brands/5b5a2815cad6a4000967d6d6/elixinol) offers one of the highest-quality hemp-derived CBD products on the market. \n\nElixinol uses safe CO2 extraction and the highest-quality CBD hemp oil. According to Elixinol’s Chris Husong, the company is focused on quality, stating, “… in 2018, we went into the agriculture business and are now growing much of our own hemp in Colorado. This gives us complete seed-to-sale control over the process. And it ensures we have not only [the quantity of full-spectrum hemp oil we need, but also the quality full-spectrum hemp oil our customers have come to expect from Elixinol](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5b6291d9a1805500087dba24/elixinol-hemp-cbd-for-better-health-and-wellness).”\n\nIf you’re still unsure about any of these products or others you find on HelloMD, head over to our [Answers](https://www.hellomd.com/answers) page where you can post a question and one of our in-the-know customer service specialists will be happy to answer it for you. \n\n\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.3888888888888888,"src":"/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/14b42/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.jpg","srcSet":"/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/f836f/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.jpg 200w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/2244e/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.jpg 400w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/14b42/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.jpg 800w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/47498/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.jpg 1200w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/0e329/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.jpg 1600w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/2db2e/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.jpg 3845w","srcWebp":"/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/58556/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/61e93/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.webp 200w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/1f5c5/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.webp 400w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/58556/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.webp 800w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/99238/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.webp 1200w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/7c22d/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.webp 1600w,\n/static/5c43de7b6fc4895797b2fb6d4e9cde7d/00dcf/2c55e474198207da3c8a2253da677633.webp 3845w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":0,"numPages":1,"currentPage":1,"id":5932,"name":"Wildflower","slug":"wildflower","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
