Bone Broth and CBD Tincture for Pets

Let’s get on with it… the hack is bone broth! 

CBD is topping the charts as the best health support for both pets and people! We believe that your dog’s health regimen is as important as your own because they experience a lot of the same issues we do, like anxiety, appetite changes, pain and inflammation. While we fully believe in the power of CBD to increase the quality of our pets’ lives, they don’t always love the taste of it, so we’ve created ours with a tasty bone broth collagen!

We know it’s a hit from first hand experience! Our pup is too smart for his own good. As he is getting up there in age (8 years old), he has some issues with inflammation in his joints. It is so important to supplement their diet at this stage of life to improve quality of and longevity of life, so after deciding to put him on a CBD regimen for senior dogs, we set out on a mission to create one that the pets would rave about. 

In our research to create the best pet CBD products on the market (like our RA! Bone Broth Tincture), we checked out a bunch of studies and stories about what CBD can do for your pet.

Here’s what we learned about how your pets can benefit from CBD supplementation:

1. Behavioral Issues (Stress/Anxiety)

Pets can misbehave for all sorts of reasons. For some, it’s the noise of  fireworks, or anxiety from separation issues when we leave them to go to work. Because they don’t know how to voice their feelings like we do, they can resort to chewing on things that don’t belong to them or worse, have physical responses like trembling or hiding. We’ve found that CBD oil can help our pets stay peaceful, sleep easier and feel less stress and anxiety and therefore help them with their behavior.

2. Joint Mobility

CBD oil is becoming well known to provide pain relief for both large and small breeds. As your dog gets older, especially if they are predisposed to joint issues like arthritis, the chemical compounds and cannabinoids in CBD oil can lubricate joints, reduce pain and help with mobility.

3. Skin and Coat Issues

When it comes to our pets, itchiness and skin issues can be difficult to diagnose and treat. While symptoms can be caused by a variety of things, the natural oils and cannabinoids have helped our family pets’ skin by reducing flakes, irritation and inflammation as well as to help improve their coat overall.

As pet owners ourselves, we decided to do whatever it took to be able to offer the best Whole Spectrum CBD oil to our pets and yours so we created the RA! Pet Tincture. Show Fido how much you care by dropping a bit of Bone Broth and/or a CBD Tincture onto their next meal!

Boost Your Immune System with Alla’s Homemade Elderberry Syrup

It starts with a tickle in the ears and throat, a headache creeps in slowly as your energy drains and dread sets in. We’ve all been there – a case of the common cold or the flu is likely in your future. As a mother, it can be miserable to carry on when feeling ill, but worse to watch your children suffer without being able to do much to fix it. Of course, there is a time and a place for western medicine and doctors visits. But unfortunately, there isn’t much that your family doctor can do for a common cold or even a mild case of the flu.

When it comes to helping myself and my family keep a strong immune system, I know from experience that natural supplements and a healthy diet can make a big difference when it comes to the number of illnesses in a year. All I have to say is, thank goddess nature provides remedies that can help avoid or shorten the severity of symptoms if you get to them in time. 

That’s why one of my favorite immune-boosting tricks is supplementing with Elderberry syrup! As a classically trained herbalist, I absolutely love making homemade remedies. It is a fun way to slow down, get back to my witchy roots and get in touch with what nature provides to stave off severe symptoms and help to keep us healthy year-round.

 amazing syrup that you could do a shot of every day just to you know keep that immune system going or if you do get sick you can start taking a teaspoon or a couple of teaspoons of it every hour or so until you start feeling better it’s amazing you can also add things like ginger and cinnamon and other routes to it too really spruce it up otherwise it’s as simple as some elderberry some hot water honey and brandy. 

Here’s what you need to boost your immune system with my homemade elderberry syrup:

Ingredients:

  • 1 quart filtered water
  • 1 bag fresh or frozen elderberries
  • 1 cup Brandy
  • 1/2 cup raw honey

Directions:

  1. Pour the water into a saucepan and add the elderberries
  2. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring to a boil
  3. When boiling, cover and reduce to simmer for about an hour or until the liquid is reduced by half.
  4. Add the brandy
  5. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature
  6. Mash the berries with a flat utensil to release all of the juices
  7. Pour the mixture through a strainer into a glass jar and discard the elderberries.
  8. Lastly, add the honey and stir (or close the jar and shake) until all of the honey is combined.
  9. Store in the refrigerator!

I Used CBD While Recovering from Covid Vaccine

Don’t have time to read? Click here to listen to Alla’s original voice recording.

Hey everyone, Alla here! 

Yesterday I decided to get my third covid immunization shot. And you know what, today I’m feeling kind of achy – kind of crappy. My joints ache and my body hurts, but the days don’t stop, so I thought I’d share a few of the things I like to do at home to help reduce my discomfort holistically with the use of all natural hemp products.

1. Healthy Alternatives

I’ve been an herbalist for over 20 years and have never been one to take a lot of over-the-counter meds on a day when I’m feeling ‘off’. I do feel good about taking our RA! Tincture to help with inflammation because I can feel safe taking this formulation. 

We’ve worked really hard to create a whole-spectrum distillate because it offers an ‘entourage effect’ without unknown or varying amounts of THC as often found in full-spectrum tinctures. (Our Whole Spectrum™ RA! Products contain the legal amount of .3% THC.)

An article on the National Library of Medicine quotes researchers at PMC Labs stating,

“…it has been suggested that CBD may indirectly improve anti-inflammatory effects.”

“Antioxidative and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Cannabidiol”

I agree with their findings, based on my personal experience with CBD and pain. However, I’m not a doctor, so always do your own research!

2. Invest in Your Downtime

Taking a hot bath is the closest one can get to goddess-ness. Not only a long day, but a long day with aches and pains from a covid vaccine. (Ok let’s be honest, I want a bath even on the best of days!) Since I am feeling achy, I will be slipping into a CBD bath. On high-inflammatory days like today, I like to mix it up with CBD bath bombs and maybe rub some RA! CBD cream to moisturize my body afterwards. Next, slip into bed, and try this last natural remedy for aches and pain…

3. Command You Mental State

I don’t know about you, but a calm mind goes a long way to helping me deal with the pain. That’s why I like to settle into my senses and out of my thoughts to bring a sense of peace and wellbeing. More good news – you don’t have to practice meditation to get the free, all-natural health benefits of quieting your mind and listening inward. I like to spend a couple of moments to focus on breathing and one of my senses. If I notice my mind wondering too much sometimes I repeat a mantra to help me focus. Try whatever sounds right to you. I like to start with,

“I trust the wisdom of my body” or “I am safe in my body”

Bottom line is: feeling icky, and being in pain sucks. Putting something good into my body to help it heal from the vaccination helps me relax knowing that I’m supporting my body to heal naturally. 

That’s my two cents on what I’ve done for myself after getting the covid vaccines …or any kind of illness that comes with aches and just feeling kind of gross. Hopefully these tips can help you get through tough painful spots a little bit easier.

Cheers! Peace and love,

Alla
