CBD FOR SLEEP AND PAIN RELIEF – IT WORKS
CBD PRODUCTS ARE SOMETHING EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT...BUT DO THEY WORK? MY DAD WHO SUFFERS WITH CHRONIC PAIN AND SLEEP PROBLEMS TRIED THEM AND SAYS 'THEY WORK'!
MY DAD KNOWS PAIN
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about my dad and his chronic pain. He suffers every day with pain and has done so for the last 40 years. He is on a cocktail of pain medication and would love nothing more than to stop filling his body with these chemicals. He has tried many things before:
Acupuncture
Massage
Medical maijuana
Cranial therapy
Diet
None of these things have much of an impact and have left him feeling skeptical and hesitant to hold out hope for relief. One of the biggest impacts his pain and the medication has on him is his sleep. He has not been able to sleep soundly for the same amount of time he has had his pain. Due to this he is left tired, slower healing time and not rested enough to put up a fight against how he is feeling.
It’s hard sometimes to even carry a full conversation with my dad because I can tell that the pain is so unbearable he struggles to focus on anything other than that. His biggest battles are crushed vertebrae which causes extreme back pain and a very intensive hand operation that has created ongoing nerve pain.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO FEEL THE EFFECTS
The answer to this is INSTANTLY! It wasn’t a slow effect over time but my dad got immediate relief.
I actually didn’t hear first how the products were working from my dad – it was my Mom! She called me a week after he started using it and was in total shock that for three nights in a row my dad was sleeping for 8 hours! Something she couldn’t really remember ever happening.
My dad received his Best Life Hemp products in the mail on August 26th and used them daily for a month.
POST-OPERATION PAIN RELIEF WITH COOLING PAIN RELIEF GEL
Starting his adventure in CBD land my dad decided to use the pain relieving cooling gel. After having over a hundred stitches removed from a nerve reconstructive surgery on his fingers there wasn’t much that pain pills were doing for the constant ache of healing.
He applied it onto the incisions and on the palm of his hand where a lot of the intense pain was residing. The pain wasn’t completely removed but most of the discomfort was dulled and because of this he could get on with other tasks and allow his brain to calm and think of something other than the constant throb of pain.
HEATING PAIN GEL FOR MUSCLES
The most constant pain my dad feels is in the muscles of his back. This can be dull and lasting or sharp and shooting. Often times he struggles to stand up straight.
He would run the Pain Relieivng Heating Gel on his back and would receive instant relief. He does admit that the relief doesn’t last that long, an hour or 2 max, but when you are in constant pain to get a 1 or 2 hour break from it is worth every penny you invest into the CBD products. When I asked if he would keep doing it he replied ‘hell yeah – I wouldn’t use it more than once if it wasn’t.’
CBD AND SLEEP
Those who sleep well will never know the difficulties and frustration of having insomnia and broken sleep.
My dad can fall asleep okay but will never be able to stay asleep. It is either his mind waking him up with anxiety nightmares or the pain getting so intense it wakes him. He says he has just become accustomed to ‘very bad sleeps’ in that when he wakes up he is exhausted.
When I speak to my dad about his sleep using the Best Life Hemp CBD oil he pauses, as if he does not believe the words he is about to say, ‘ I have been sleeping as long as my bladder will allow me!‘
He is truly astonished each time he wakes up and looks at the clock.
Writing this blog and being able to say that THESE PRODUCTS WORK gives me so much joy because I can’t remember my dad not being in pain nor can I remember him looking refreshed and well rested. I am over the moon to have been able to get him to try Best Hemp Life.
‘It’s like my mind relaxes’
CBD AND MENTAL HEALTH
When you’re in pain and struggling to sleep you’re not getting enough time for your body and you mind to heal. We need our sleep as it has restorative functions for the body. Chronic sleep deficiencies can create depression, anxiety and anger.
The CBD products allow you to heal, reboot and recharge in a way that aid in mental function, cognition and mental health.
My dad had nothing other to say when I asked him about his mental health and the use of these products than this:
‘I 100% agree. I believe it’s helping a great deal’
ONE HECK OF A CBD TESTIMONIAL
When Best Hemp Life sent my dad their top CBD pain products I have to admit I was sceptical. My dad is in a lot of pain and can be a difficult man to please. I really wasn’t sure if there would be any relief let alone any improvement on his sleep.
I know it sounds terrible but when you’ve lived with someone in chronic pain you start to believe nothing will work.
I have been proved wrong and I couldn’t be happier.
‘The heating and cooling pain relief gels are great! I put some on half an hour ago and right now the relief is still going strong. I’m two things: In relief and in pain. This stuff has WORKED and I’m very happy. I would recommend it to anybody I get great relief out of it. The BIGGEST thing is it’s UNBELIEVABLE to be able to sleep.’
If you watch to the very end of the video you’ll see the tiny jaw wag on my dad’s face and this is him starting to get emotional. That, my friends, is the face of someone who for the first time in a VERY long time is feeling better and is grateful.
I have not been paid to write this. I have not been asked to write this. I am writing this because I want anyone who is suffering in pain or sleep to invest in these products.
If they worked for my dad I believe with every part of my heart they will work for you too!
