    DIY CBD Bath Bombs

    DIY CBD Bath Bombs - Naturally Mignon CBD

    Sometimes the answer to a stressful day is a long hot bath with a glass of wine.

    Get prepared for your own spa day at home by making your own full spectrum CBD oil bath bombs.

    Creating your own DIY CBD bath bombs is easy and fun, but you may have questions.

    Do CBD bath bombs work?

    According to Dr. Bonni Goldstein,medical director and owner of Cannacenters and author of Cannabis is Medicine “You get in the bath and you hit those cannabinoid receptors in your skin”. A CBD bomb functions very much like other CBD rubs and other topicals.

    What are the benefits of adding a CBD oil bath bomb to your self care routine?

    The fizz of the combination of epsom salt and citric acid create a fun relaxing sensation as well as the aromatherapy from the essential oils. Full spectrum CBD oil in the bath bomb takes it up another notch by providing:

    • Improved mood by serotonin boosting
    • Reduces inflammation
    • Nourishes the skin by reducing redness and irritation
    • Using scents like lavender essential oil induces improved sleep
    • Can help with achy joints and muscles
    • Encourages relaxation

    Can CBD bath bombs get you high?

    The short answer is no but the key factor is the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC ). THC is the natural compound found both in the hemp and marijuana plants associated with getting high. Legal hemp products may only contain 0.3% or less THC, which is typically not enough to get anyone high.

    Chances are, you already have all the ingredients in your cabinet to make your own custom full spectrum CBD oil bath bombs.

    If you don’t have bath bomb molds at home, you can use any silicone baking molds, ice trays or muffin tins.

    Quantity will vary based on the mold you use and potency will vary based upon how many you make. With this recipe, we suggest 3 large bath bombs to equal 200mg of CBD Oil in each bath bomb.  

    Here’s what you need to make your own signature CBD oil bath bomb

    • 1 cup of baking soda 
    • 1/2 cup of citric acid
    • 1/2 cup of epsom salt
    • 1/2 cup of corn starch
    • 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, liquified
    • 1 tsp of water
    • 18 ml (or 18 droppers) of full spectrum CBD Oil.  We suggest at minimum using Naturally Mignon Natural 2000mg.
    • 15 drops of the essential oil of your choosing.  This can be adjusted based on how strong or soft a fragrance you prefer.

    Lets make this bomb

    1. Combine baking soda, epsom salt, cornstarch, and citric acid in a medium sized bowl, and mix until consistent.
    2. In another bowl, mix coconut oil, CBD oil, essential oils, and water.
    3. Slowly combine the dry ingredients bowl and the wet ingredients bowl.  Stirring slowly until fully combined. If you do this step too quickly the mixtures will begin to fizz and we don’t want fizzing yet!
    4. Once mixed, press the CBD oil infused bath bomb mixture into your mold.  This should be done right away so the mixture doesn’t dry out.
    5. Have the bath bomb sit in the mold for one hour.
    6. Remove from mold and let cure for 24 hours before enjoying.

    Are You Scentless to Know Which Scent to choose?

    Consider how you want to enhance your bath experiences to decide which essential oil to use.

    Relaxation

    Combine 10 drops of lavender essential oil and 5 of rosemary essential oil.

    Invigorating

    Combine 5 drops of each, Bergamont, Ylang Ylang, and Patchouli oil.

    Clarifying

    Combine 6 drops of rosemary, 6 drops of geranium and 3 drops of tea tree oil.

    Which scent sensation will you make your first CBD oil bath bomb?

    CBD and Alcohol – What are the Effects?

    CBD and Alcohol - What are the Effects? - Naturally Mignon CBD

    Have you ever wondered if it is safe to use both CBD and alcohol? 

    Interestingly enough there are limited studies revealing benefits of combining the two.  

    Why do people use CBD oil and alcohol?  Most like both substances because they help us to relax. 

    A 1979 study in Pscychopharmacology showed that with a 200mg dose of CBD and 1 gram of alcohol per kilogram of body weight caused participants to have increased effects of the alcohol, i.e., they got drunk.

    Here’s the contradiction:  The same 1979 study found the participants who had both alcohol and CBD vs those who only had alcohol had lower blood alcohol counts (BAC) than those who had alcohol alone.  Why is this notable? The higher the BAC the more “drunk” a person is.  It appears that combing the two substances can heighten the effect of the alcohol despite the BAC being lower.

    It’s well understood that too much (some say any amount) of alcohol is detrimental to our health. Everything from poor decision making, heart and liver disease and diminished cognitive ability.

    This is why a 2013 study is so exciting.  In this study, rats that were already neurologically impaired, reduced their brain damage by 49% after applying CBD rub topically to the skin.

    Additionally, a 2014 study on rats taking CBD oil revealed that their livers were protected and their liver cells regenerated faster, resulting in less damaging effects.

    Furthermore, a study on rats addicted to alcohol had less interest in alcohol after taking CBD.

    If you like to drink, keep in mind that the CBD oil may enhance the effects of alcohol while at the same time reducing the negative effects alcohol can have on the body.

    CBD for Sleep

    CBD for Sleep - Naturally Mignon CBD

    Using CBD for sleep may be a good strategy for those suffering from moderate insomnia or have a problem staying asleep.

    Poor sleep quality just doesn’t make you tired or experience a lack of energy.

    It also has a negative effect on your health, such as being more accident prone, less focused (mom brain), assorted heart disease conditions, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke.

    Lack of sleep can also kill your libido and can increase depression symptoms.

    Bottom line: Lack of sleep is no bueno.

    One of the anecdotal benefits of CBD has been to help improve sleep, but how?

    Let’s discuss the anecdotal reasons why.

    The belief is that CBD responds to our endocannabinoid system (ECS).

    Your ECS modulates our circadian rhythms which regulates your sleep and wake cycles.

    Medical science is beginning to study CBD for sleep.

    Early studies have found that it’s effective for anxiety which in turns helps longer sleep durations.

    “To the extent that pain or anxiety interferes with sleep, CBD may facilitate sleep by reducing pain or anxiety, this would be an indirect mechanism,” said Jamie Corroon, ND, MPH, medical advisor at CV Sciences.

    Many CBD oil users report that it helps ease anxiety and relaxes the body, making it easier to fall asleep.

    “This is a staple in my house. It helps with anxiety and allows me to relax and sleep.” Naturally Mignon Customer Christy Ferdon

    “Helps so much with my anxiety during the day and makes it easier to fall asleep at night.” Naturally Mignon Customer Paula Deyette

    It also must be noted that the FDA has not approved CBD as a sleep aid and more studies will continue to be done. 

    The best way for you to decide if CBD for sleep is to try a nightly CBD oil regimen.

    It is best to start out with a higher dose like our 2000mg Naturally Mignon Full Spectrum CBD Oil.

    When to take CBD oil for sleep

    Combat the Dreaded Winter Rash Dry Skin

    Combat the Dreaded Winter Rash Dry Skin - Naturally Mignon CBD

    Why do I itch so much in the winter?

    Winter is in full effect for many parts of the US and so is the dreaded winter rash or winter itch.

    This time of year many of us get that dry, itchy, red, and scaly skin that ordinary skin lotions can’t treat.

    Winter brings cold, dry air with almost no humidity. When you couple that with the fact we live in heated homes creates the perfect storm for dry skin and winter rash.

    “Think of it as dry air sucking the moisture out of the skin,” said Susan Taylor, MD, Associate Professor of Dermatology at Penn Medicine.

    “It’s that loss of moisture from upper layers of the skin that causes it to dry out.”

    Another key contributor to dry skin is the shower or bath. Hot water strips off the skin’s natural oils and waxes.

    Frequent hand washing and anti-bacterial gels also contribute to dry skin. Detergent hand soaps and chemicals do their job and kill germs. The downside is those chemical are harsh and will also dry out your hands.

    Are you a swimmer? The chemicals in swimming pools also strip out the skin’s oils.

    How CBD affects your skin

    Many cannabis topicals on the market, like Naturally Mignon’s CBD Butter, contain cannabidiol (CBD).

    CBD is easily absorbed through the skin and its effectiveness in treating dry skin conditions is gaining interest in the medical community.

    Cedars-Sinai dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon Dr. Nima Gharavi says using a CBD skin care product may help with treating severely dry skin.

    “However, more studies are needed to see if CBD or other chemical agents found in the cannabis plant directly improve skin quality and have other health benefits,” Dr. Gharavi says.

    “I’d like to see more data on how CBD, in the form of a topical agent, could have promising or comparable anti-inflammatory effects as a steroid.”

    How to treat winter itch

    Ordinary skin lotions are not very effective for severely dry skin conditions such as winter itch. You need something with a little more firepower.

    Products that contain oils and waxes work best. This includes many ointments and body butters like Naturally Mignon’s CBD Body Butter and Full Spectrum CBD Salve ointment.

    Skin products that contain oils and waxes require a little more time to absorb into the skin as compared to a lotion. The feel is more oily, but this provides moisture barrier that lasts far longer than lotion.

    A good technique to use is to pat yourself dry with a towel after a shower or bath. With your skin still moist, apply an intensive moisturizer. This will help the moisturizer trap water in the skin.

    Look for these ingredients in winter itch relief products:

    • Lanolin
    • Beeswax
    • Olive oil, safflower, coconut oil
    • Mineral oil
    • Hyaluronic acid
    • Glycerin
    • Dimethocone
    • Petroleum jelly

    Other tips

    • Limit showers or baths to 5 minutes
    • Use lukewarm water
    • Use a low detergent soap that contains natural oils
    • Pat your skin dry with a towel after shower
    • Apply moisturizer 2 times a day
    • Use a bedroom humidifier at night
    • Try a cannabis topical with CBD

    NFL Awards $1 Million to Study Cannabis and CBD for Pain Management

    NFL Awards $1 Million to Study Cannabis and CBD for Pain Management - Naturally Mignon CBD

    The National Football League (NFL) is awarding $1 million to two teams of researchers to “investigate the effects of cannabinoids on pain management and neuroprotection from concussion in elite football players.”

    The studies will be carried out by medical researchers at the University of California San Diego and University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada.

    The studies are being funded by both the NFL and the NFL Player’s Association (NFL-PA). The studies will look at both CBD and THC in the treatment of pain management.

    This is welcome news for CBD consumers who use CBD for medicinal purposes. Clinical studies like this provide CBD consumers with real world science that help make buying decisions.

    The study will focus on the effects of cannabinoids on pain and recovery from sports-related injuries in elite athletes.

    Researchers will assess the “therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects of ∆-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and combined THC/CBD, compared to placebo, for relief of post-competition soft-tissue injury pain in elite athletes.”

    Many NFL players, including Super Bowl Champ Rob Gronkowski, have been using CBD for pain management for years.

    Can CBD and THC help football players recover from severe concussions?

    That’s what the team in Canada will be studying. Concussions in the NFL are a big concern.

    <“An additional goal is to assess the neuroprotective properties of cannabinoids to reduce the incidence or severity of acute and chronic concussion in professional football players.”

    The study will go one step further and determine if CBD and THC is an alternative to opioids.

    “Our research will also work to show that cannabinoids can be used as an alternative to opioids for pain management. Ultimately, this study has the potential to change not only the lives of current and former NFL players, but also the lives of anyone who may suffer from a concussion,” said Dr. Patrick Neary, an exercise physiologist and professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina.

    CBD for Opiate Withdrawal? FDA Approves Trials for CBD Based Treatment

    CBD for Opiate Withdrawal? FDA Approves Trials for CBD Based Treatment - Naturally Mignon CBD

    The ravages of opiate overdoses and deaths is a constantly evolving tragedy in the US that shows no signs of slowing. 

    A Colorado pharmaceutical company is now beginning clinical trials for a drug that uses CBD for opiate withdrawal.

    The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Ananda Scientific approval to begin human trials on a CBD based drug to treat opiate addictions called Nantheia ATL5.

    Using cannabidiol (CBD) for opiate addiction holds some promise as being a viable treatment.

    The clinical trials will determine if theraputic CBD decreases opioid cravings

    The FDA has given Ananda Scientific an “investigational drug designation.” This is the first step in FDA testing. It determines if the drug is safe for humans and achieves some effectiveness and merits further development.

    This means that Nantheia ATL5 is not going to be available to treat opiate addiction anytime soon. The approval process can take years.

    According to the Centers for Disease Control 500,000 people in the US died of opiate overdose since 1999. 

    The CDC says in 2013 a new a wave of opiate deaths began with the introduction of synthetic opioids like fentanyl.

    “The approval of the IND for this important clinical trial is a key milestone for our ongoing research into therapeutic alternatives for opioid use disorder and reversal of the effects of the opioid epidemic,” said Dr. Edthye London, Ph.D, Ananda Scientific.

    CBD for Covid? Study Suggests CBD Prevents COVID Infection

    CBD for Covid? Study Suggests CBD Prevents COVID Infection - Naturally Mignon CBD

    CBD for COVID Vaccine Study

    There is exciting news on how to protect yourself from COVID and it includes use of CBD (cannabidiol).

    A study published in the peer-reviewed science journal Science Advances surveyed 1,212 patients in the US who were prescribed CBD.

    The study found that patients taking 100 milligrams-per-milliliter (mg) oral doses a day of CBD returned positive COVID-19 tests at much lower rates than control groups who did not take CBD.

    It also found found a “significant” negative relationship between CBD consumption and COVID-19 infection.

    The study was conducted by 33 researchers at the University of Louisville and University of Chicago.

    CBD (100 mg/ml oral solution per medical records) had a significant negative association with positive SARS-CoV-2 tests. This study highlights CBD as a potential preventative agent for early-stage SARS-CoV-2 infection and merits future clinical trials. We caution against use of non-medical formulations including edibles, inhalants or topicals as a preventative or treatment therapy at the present time. Science Advances/em>

    “Our results suggest that CBD and its metabolite 7-OH-CBD can block SARS-CoV-2 infection at early and even later stages of infection,” the study states. Science Advances

    CBD is an acronym for the cannabinoid Cannabidiol. This is a non-psychoactive (doesn’t get you high) cannabis compound that is most prevalent in hemp plants. Hemp’s cousin, marijuana, has much lower levels of CBD.

    Scientists involved in the study also conducted lab tests that found CBD inhibited the growth and spread of the virus in the body.

    “As a bottom line, what this says is that CBD has the potential to prevent infections, such as breakthrough infections, which might be one of the most useful applications,” said lead author Dr. Marsha Rosner from the Ben May Department for Cancer Research at the University of Chicago.

    CBD for COVID Vaccine

    Keep in mind, this is a real world study with real world patients. While the study shows great promise for treating CBD for COVID, it must be noted that the study does not say CBD is a replacement for vaccines.

    It instead suggests that a CBD for COVID vaccine combination could be beneficial.

    If you would like to replicate the dosage used in the study, try Naturally Mignon’s 1000mg Pure Colorado CBD Oil and use 1ml (one full dropper) a day.
