What is CBD Exactly?

What is CBD Exactly?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years. Today the therapeutic properties of CBD are being tested and confirmed by scientists and doctors around the world. A safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids,” which are unique to cannabis and endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile.

Many people are seeking alternatives to pharmaceuticals with harsh side effects — medicine more in synch with natural processes. By tapping into how we function biologically on a deep level, CBD can provide relief for chronic pain, anxiety, inflammation, gastrointestinal issues just to name a few.

Extensive scientific research – much of it sponsored by the U.S. government – and mounting anecdotal accounts from patients and physicians highlight CBD’s potential as a treatment for a wide range of conditions.

CBD – You Get What You Pay For…

As Big Corporations move into the CBD marketplace with massive investments, prices are dropping as hemp becomes a commodity. Consumers can now buy CBD anywhere, at most gas stations and grocery stores. However, the quality and price of CBD products vary tremendously. Critically, the effectiveness of cheap brands is not even close to that of premium products. Consumers should know how hemp was grown and extracted when choosing their brand of CBD. At NEK Hemp, we have chosen to grow our hemp organically, extract CBD using the cleanest and most thorough method, and third party test our batches to verify potency and safety.

Because we have chosen the best methods (not the cheapest), we know that our products taste better, are more bioavailable, and more effective than cheaper brands. By using the highest quality ingredients, best extraction technologies, and formulation practices, we are able to deliver a consistent product that our customers can rely on. NEK Hemp products are more expensive than typical gas station CBD, but the artisanal quality and the fact that the profits go to a sustainable family farm and not corporate shareholders makes all the difference.

Cheap CBD is rarely organic, is extracted with inferior methods, and is often not third-party tested or insured. Organic growing and processing methods are sustainable and ensure a clean product. Pesticides and heavy metals are absorbed by hemp, so where and how you grow is essential. Ethanol and Lipid extraction are far less effective extraction methods than supercritical CO2, resulting in products with lower potency, poor shelf life, and bitter taste. Sadly, many cheap CBD products do not verify the potency with impartial testing, so you really don’t know what you are consuming. Be wary of trusting any brand without the actual proof that you are getting what you paid for.

Even in Vermont, there are big companies trying to squeeze out the small farmers. Ask yourself if you want the Hemp Industry to go the way of the Dairy Industry. Do you want a few very large corporate suppliers or a wide variety of smaller craft producers? With the success of Vermont’s cheese, maple, beer, and spirits, the answer is clear. Support local craft businesses that put quality first. You get what you pay for.

A Chiropractor’s Experience With CBD, WOW!

“25 years of working with thousands of patients had taken a toll on my hands, wrists and elbows”, said Dr. Gina Carucci, owner of Carucci Chiropractic and Holistic Health Center located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. https://drcarucci.com/

“I tried several CBD products from California and Colorado companies.  Nothing helped.  I was considering significantly reducing my practice hours”.

As a last-ditch effort, Dr. Carucci gave her hands a rest by taking a four-week sabbatical during which she traveled to a region of Vermont called the Northeast Kingdom.

Unfortunately, the sabbatical was not a relieving vacation. After nearly four-weeks of rest, her hands still had a considerable amount of discomfort.

Then, as luck would have it, she had a “Relief Event.” And of all places, it was at a Vermont Maple Syrup Festival.  On the final day of her sabbatical, she dragged herself out to the festival in the rain and happened upon a chance meeting.

A small family farm called Northeast Kingdom Hemp (NEK Hemp) was also at the Maple Syrup Festival.  After a conversation with the NEK Hemp folks, Dr. Carucci purchased NEK Hemp’s 500 mg CBD balm and worked it into her hands prior to her return trip home.

“My drive home from the festival was different – it was a bit less after just one application.”

Dr. Carucci started applying the balm 3 times a day.  After two weeks, her hands were 80% better.

“Then my level plateaued,” said Dr. Carucci.  “80% less was significant but I wondered what would happen if I added a tincture to the protocol.”

Dr. Carucci began using a CBD tincture.  Placing drops of golden CBD oil under her tongue daily has returned her hands, wrists and elbows to 95 – 100%!

Dr. Carucci was so impressed by the effects of CBD that she now carries NEK Hemp’s CBD product line in her office, and  her patients rely on NEK Hemp’s CBD products.

Before recommending a product to her patients, Dr. Carucci insists on thoroughly researching it.  In this case, she traveled back to Vermont to see NEK Hemp’s family farm for herself.

She found a small family farm dedicated to sustainable organic production but with the advanced technical capabilities for producing top-quality CBD oils and products.

“They are committed to the earth and committed to quality.  They follow sustainable farming practices that protect the land while producing pure gold from the sun, earth and seed”– said Dr. Carucci.

“While visiting NEK Hemp’s farm, I found they have a high-tech lab to ensure purity and potency in the extraction and manufacture of their products.  The rest of the operation looks and feels like a family farm, with a wonderful log cabin and office that is very welcoming and inviting to the community.”

“This small family operation has made a significant investment where they follow rigorous operating procedures based on federal regulation.  Additionally, they have achieved the USDA Organic seal, and they place a QR code on each product.  This code verifies the independent lab analysis of the product to validate its purity and potency.”

But perhaps the most important thing she found was the people who love what they do and put quality and integrity above everything.

As Dr Carucci said. “This is Vermont.  A wonderful, down to earth family farm committed to quality in the products they produce because they care about the community they serve!”

We HAD a hyper-anxious Dog! Not anymore…!

“Dexter was frantic.  He was bouncing between my lap and my husband’s lap.  He clawed at the floor – he was trying to get under the dashboard,” Dee explained.

Dee, her husband, their three-year-old and poor Dexter were on what should have been a seven-hour trip to Vermont to have Thanksgiving with family.  Dexter was so upset that it had taken eleven hours to complete the first three hours of driving.

“We finally gave up and went back to New Jersey and had Thanksgiving with our neighbors.”

Dee doesn’t know why these panic attacks started when Dexter was seven years old.   He was fine on a five-day drive to Oregon a couple of years before, but now Dexter constantly panted and drooled when riding in the car.

He also started getting so anxious during thunderstorms that he would scratch the walls and make so much noise that it would wake up their toddler.

“Our veterinarian didn’t recommend CBD oils.”  The vet prescribed a few different medications that made Dexter groggy.  “We weren’t happy about how they affected him.”

The CBD Solution

“We didn’t know about CBD oils for dogs, but when my aunt suggested it, we decided to give it a try.”

Before their next trip to Vermont, Dee put seven drops of Northeast Kingdom Hemp Healthy Pet on Dexter’s treats.

“It was a completely different traveling experience.  Dexter was calm and happy.  He lay and slept on the back seat.  Every now and then, he got up and looked out the window.  He wasn’t sedated.  He was just relaxed and comfortable.”

Since then, Dexter manages thunderstorms without stress too.   A few Healthy Pets CBD oil drops on his treats when the weather looks threatening spares Dexter from a distressing experience.

It’s not uncommon for pets to have anxiety from car rides, thunder, separation from owners, and many other causes.  Northeast Kingdom Hemp’s Healthy Pets CBD oil can get them through it and greatly improve quality-of-life for the pets and their owners.

Why Northeast Kingdom Hemp?

“We found Northeast Kingdom Hemp and checked it out.  They’re organic, and they test so you know the amount of CBD.  We feel good about giving it to Dexter.  It’s something we can trust.”
