This isn’t meant as a recommendation but as a documentation of my journey and my existence. I am about to be 25 years old and ive had a pretty tough physical body to deal with.
As I previously wrote, I just went through a long flare up. Immediately I knew I needed to increase my nutrients to reduce the inflammation in my body. I stuffed a bunch of yummy fruits and veggies into a juicer.
Celery, carrot, kale, red bell pepper, green apple, orange, lemon, and ginger have been helpful for me
I had to get on top of taking my vitamins. I have a lot of fatigue and taking or eating my omegas, b12, d3+k2, help in not feeling so tired. I needed a ton of rest, I spent most of the time on the couch or being around the house. I am thankful to have booked two really amazing jobs and I am grateful that my body stayed relatively well enough to (in my opinion) KILL IT!! :)
Stevie's goddess oil which is a Cbd oil I take by mouth, reduces the cramps on my lower back and abdomen by A TON! Her cbd joints are like no other cbd joint ive smoked… Its smooth and you can really taste the quality of it. ive smoked a few other cbd joints and can confidently say they lack taste and are too harsh. They are quite literally the freshest cbd joints out right now. I really love stevie, I smoke because of how much it helps me function. Having such quality cbd in my life has tremendously helped my pain. Even in the beginning of the pandemic my anxiety was manifesting in teeth grinding, I started taking cbd oil at night and noticed a huge difference in how I would wake up the next day, little to no pain.
Other tinctures Ive taken through this have been:
Shepherd’s Purse my HOLY GRAIL but must be taken responsibly, research!!! ( I use Herb Pharm) I haven’t tried any other brands but I am on my second or third bottle of this, the taste is not the best but I mask it in a shot of orange juice. I’m convinced this helped my spotting stop completely.
Cramp Relief ( I use the brand WishGarden) It contains Cramp bark, Black Cohosh root, Catnip, Wild Yam root, Scullcap. I try not to take this too often but two full droppers and a little joint and ive found the length of time between pain attacks is extended a bit. It gives me a little more time to not be in a consistent cramp. I do feel it works less than an ibuprofen but I try not to shove my body with those as they’re the only thing the doctors like to recommend.
I do my research in regards to what I put in my body. I am on birth control and there’s a long list of pills and herbs that shouldn’t be mixed. I don’t enjoy birth control or putting any western medicine in my body but it is what I have to do for now. Trial and error baby, day by day.
