Why Use Mango Butter

5/6/2019

0 Comments

 
All-Natural & Nutrient DensePure Mango Butter is a completely plant-based ingredient made from pure mango. The process uses a special cold-pressing and steam-refinement method that helps to preserve the butter’s most precious and beneficial components. Loaded with vitamins like A and E, essential fatty acids, and natural antioxidants, Mango Butter can be extremely nourishing to both the hair and skin.
Just as your body is nourished from within by eating healthy food, your skin is best cared for by the application of high-quality ingredients. Pure plant-based butters, like Mango Butter, can help to supplement your skin with the conditioning and nourishing components it needs to stay its healthy, beautiful best.
Light & Non-GreasyMango Butter has a remarkable texture that is light and non-greasy but also creamy and highly moisturizing. This smooth butter glides on easily and absorbs into the skin and hair with ease. The consistency melts so beautifully- you’ll love it!
Surprisingly RichNaturally, pure Mango Butter is much richer than commercial body butters that have been blended with fillers and additives like water, alcohol, preservatives and other chemicals. When used as-is, Mango Butter will feel more like a body oil on your skin than a lotion. If you are new to using pure butters, this may take a little getting used to, but you’ll quickly fall in love with how soft and happy your skin feels after moisturizing with Mango Butter.
Long-Lasting MoistureRemember those additives we just mentioned? Well, commercial moisturizers are usually packed with them. Fillers, like water and mineral oil, are used to bulk up products like lotions and hair conditioners – but these ingredients do very little to benefit skin or hair. Additives, like alcohol, silicone, and synthetic fragrances all help make lotions feel like they are helping to hydrate your skin but the effects are usually both brief and superficial. They can even be damaging at times.
Like junk food, highly processed skin care products are often enjoyable to use, but barely nutritious. Sometimes they are even toxic! Pure Mango Butter, on the other hand, gives your skin nothing but an intense boost of moisture that will help keep your skin happy and hydrated with lasting benefit.
Great for All Skin TypesMango Butter is non-comedogenic. That means that it won’t clog pores or aggravate acne-prone skin. This makes Mango Butter a great choice for moisturizing almost any skin type. Dry skin will love the highly-moisturizing emolliency of Mango Butter, while those with sensitive skin will adore using a butter that is 100% pure and free of irritating additives and fragrances.
Mango Butter contains essential fatty acids and antioxidants that make it a wonderful choice for mature skin as well. The rich, nourishing nature of Mango Butter can even help benefit those suffering from skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
Stash-FriendlyPure Mango Butter is naturally free of preservatives, yet remains fresh and stable for up to one whole year as-is. This means you can stock up on your favorite ingredient without worrying about it spoiling. Just be sure to store your butter in an airtight container and keep it away from extreme temperatures, direct light, or moisture.

The Endocannabinoid System: Crucial for Homeostasis

4/21/2019

0 Comments

 
To understand the ECS, it first helps to understand what homeostasis is.
Basically, homeostasis is your body's efforts to keep everything in the right zone. It tries to keep your internal environment stable and optimal no matter what's going on in the environment around you. Think of all the gauges in the dashboard of a car or airplane. Those all tell the operator whether things are—or aren't—operating in the proper zone.
Just like the electronics in a car or plane, your body works continuously to monitor important levels and functions in your body. Is your temperature too high, too low, or just right? Are your hormone levels what they should be? Is your heart beating too fast? Do you need fuel or rest? Is too much of something building up in your bloodstream or inside of your cells?
When something is operating outside of the right range, your body activates the ECS to help correct it. So when you're really hot and begin to sweat, thank your ECS for working to cool you down. Stomach growling? That's your ECS helping remind you to eat because you need fuel.
The ECS does this via cannabinoid receptors found in select tissues. We have (at least) two types of cannabinoid receptors:
  • CB1 which is in the central nervous system (brain and nerves of the spinal cord)
  • CB2 which is in the peripheral nervous system (nerves in your extremities), the digestive system, and specialized cells in the immune system
Cannabinoid receptors are believed to be among the most plentiful in our central nervous system, and some researchers hypothesize that we could have a third, undiscovered one, as well.
Through those receptors, the ECS helps regulate a lot of important functions, such as:
  • Appetite
  • Digestion
  • Immune function
  • Inflammation, including neuroinflammation
  • Mood
  • Sleep
  • Reproduction/fertility
  • Motor control
  • Temperature regulation
  • Memory
  • Pain
  • Pleasure/reward
Your body activates the ECS with precision so that it impacts only what it needs to. For example, if your reproductive hormones are out of whack, it will work to regulate them without altering your digestion or immune system.
Then, once the endocannabinoids have done their job and brought things into balance, certain enzymes come along to break them down and prevent them from going too far and upsetting the balance in the opposite direction.
It's a precise response.
That's different from what happens if someone smokes marijuana and floods their system with cannabinoids. Then the drug has wide-ranging impacts on physiology, some of which may be beneficial while others may be harmful.
Homeostasis is essential to our health and survival, so when the ECS isn't working properly, it can cause a lot of problems for you. 
Because cannabis products can stimulate activity of the ECS, they're obvious targets for potential treatments, and a ton of research is going on around the world. We also have medications made from synthetic (lab-created) cannabinoids, such as the drug nabilone.
We're already seeing a lot of research on cannabinoid-based treatments and we're likely to see more as we gain a better understanding of the system and the substances. Changes in legal status have also driven research.

Copaiba esssential oil is a great natural solution for pain relief, infections and skin health. The Copaiba tree grows up to 100 feet tall. Tapping a single tree can give up to twelve gallons of gum resin a season.

Studies have found that the main compound found in this ant-inflammatory and anti-septic essential oil is beta-caryophyllene, a pain killing agent, and a terpene found in cannabis.T est results have identified bcp as a non-psychoactive  cb2 receptor.Research has found the this  helps to block the detection of painful or injurious stimulus. 

Not only a pain reliever, but Copaiba can also help to reduce liver tissue damage caused by acetaminophens. Research has shown that it is also helpful in acting as a natural acne cure, as well as speed up skin healing. 

We use Copaiba in all of our products to not only add its own healing properties, but to enhance the healing properties of the other ingredients.

Cannabis and The Endocannabinoid System

9/12/2018

​In the mid-1990s, renowned Israeli researcher Dr. Ralph Mechaoulam, professor of Medicinal Chemistry at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, made an exciting discovery that would forever change how we look at our biological relationship to plant medicine. Dr. Mechaoulam discovered a subtle system within the body that seemed to have a balancing effect on every other system. He called it the Endocannabinoid (EC) System and it can be found in all mammals, including humans.
The EC system consists of a series of molecular receptors that are designed to receive cannabinoids. In particular this includes cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) as well as other related substances such as cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinol (CBN).
Prior research in the 1980s led Mechaoulam and others to pinpoint two main receptors for cannabinoids − cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid 2 (CB2). Researchers at the time also defined the natural substances called endocannabinoids, which our body produces on its own in a similar way it produces endorphins. Phytocannabinoids (namely THC, CBD, and their variants), on the other hand, come directly from the cannabis plant.
Cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 are designed by the body to be specific targets for THC, while our natural endocannabinoids help to synthesize it. The process of THC-cannabinoid receptor binding and what this does for the body is what researchers have been studying for over two decades. They are doing this in order to find out exactly how cannabis works in healing cancer.
Microbiologist Dr. Christine Sanchez of Compultense Univeristy in Madrid, Spain has been studying cannabinoids and cancer since the early 2000s. She was the first to discover the antitumor effects of cannabinoids.
“We now know that the endocannabinoid system regulates a lot of biological functions such as appetite, food intake, motor function, reproduction and many others and that is why the plant has such a wide therapeutic potential,” says Dr. Sanchez in a video interview for the web-based cable channel Cannabis Planet.
