Most of us have "bonus" people in our lives. These are people we aren't related to by birth, however their importance in our lives makes them like family. Bonus! I have a bonus daughter who has struggled with migraines for the 15+ years I've known her. I've seen her take over the counter pain medication so often with slight relief. Her medical doctor hasn't been able to offer help either. Is it hormonal, maybe; although knowing the cause doesn't help with the pain, especially when there isn't a workable solution.

I'll share her journey in just a few minutes!

As a health professional using natural methods, I've offered numerous treatments, with some help but not much more than what her doctor has done. Frustration! And empathy because life seems to stop for days when a major migraine begins.

The first week of January I became aware of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and it's relation to our brain and our immune system. We have receptors for cannabidiol (CBD). While science doesn't know a lot about this system, we do know that all mammals have one: puppies, kitties, bunnies, horses and humans. Due to circumstances in the 1930s, our ability to get the CBDs into the receptor sites became compromised. We are deficient, just like one can be deficient in vitamins or minerals. We are deficient in CBDs.

There are only a few foods that have CBDs, three being mangos, black pepper and cinnamon. However, hemp has massive amounts of CBDs and very low levels of THC, which is the psychoactive agent. This is a fabulous source for reducing the deficiency we all have.

After researching the many products available, I knew that purity of product and guaranteed level of concentration was extremely important. Since hemp can clean soil, any oil made from hemp grown in unclean soil, consumption of the oil can be risky.

There's also the concern about THC and drug testing, especially with our first responders, airline pilots, military and competing athletes. I've located a product line that is legal in all 50 states, used in over 40 countries around the world and has certain products that are PURE CBD, therefore THC clean. WOW!

So, like I promised, back to the migraines. I asked my bonus daughter to try one of the products and relief began in just a few days. The first two weeks were up and down with pressure but improvement came quickly. It's been three months now, and she's been migraine free. She has noticed that if she starts to go into a headache, that she's probably dehydrated and so she drinks a glass of water and the headache doesn't happen. Also, she calls these headaches, not migraines so the degree of pressure is much less.

There are so many benefits here: the migraines are gone, and the use of OTC pain meds is also eliminated which eases her liver. She feels great. Her four sons have a full time mom that doesn't spend days in a dark noise-free room.  This is definitely a win-win.
