Laura Lagano - The CBD Oil Miracle: Manage Pain, Improve Your Mood, Boost Your Brain, Fight Inflammation, Clear Your Skin, Strengthen Your Heart, and Sleep Better with the Healing Power of CBD Oil

Did you pick up this book because youve heard about CBD, maybe from a friend, a neighbor, or a family member? Or because youre already using and recommending CBD and you want to learn why it works and how else it can help you? Maybe someone suggested that you try CBD. Maybe you have a coworker who started using CBD and you cannot believe how much better he copes at the office. Or youre just curious.

Whats up with these three letters, CBD?

A lot is the answer. Theres a lot happening with CBD and the plant that it comes from, Cannabis sativa. Yes, CBD is derived from the cannabis plantthe same plant that provides food with its seeds and whose fiber can be used as a building material. Its the same plant that is the main attraction in marijuana dispensariesfor both medical and adult useacross the country, in Canada, and around the globe. Yes, all these come from Cannabis sativa.

When integrated with food, nutrition, aromatherapy, and other holistic modalities, CBD can make a differencea big difference for some people. Let me be clear: CBD is not a miracle in the sense the term is usually reserved for, as an event that cannot be explained, an unbelievable happening. CBD is not a miracle; its science, which youll learn more about in this book. What seems like a miracle, however, is the response that some people have to CBD, the significant impact it can have on day-to-day livingin a good way, as my daughter would say. And that daughter, Isabella, is one of the many people whose life has changed, in part, because of CBD.

Along with a modified ketogenic food plan, targeted supplements, aromatherapy, energy medicine, and a host of other holistic modalities, CBD moved the needle for Isabella. As with some people who use CBD, the needles movement was not insignificant. Thats how I came to CBD. Isabella brought me to the cannabis plant, literally demonstrating the healing properties of this ancient medicine. She showed me how the plant can quell anxiety, help repair the gut, and even improve focus.

Isabella has been my best teacher. A genetic mutation, along with a toxic event (and more), left her with an inability to speak, seizures that were nearly an hour long, delayed development, off-the-wall behaviors, and other issues that prevented her from participating typically in life. Thats one way to describe autism.

Having become fascinated by the relationship between food and mood, I investigated every nuance of nutrition and brain health. In retrospect, its crazy that cannabis and CBD never surfaced. How could that be? We know that many individuals who self-medicate with marijuana are dealing with anxiety and insomnia. It turns out that CBD is considered an anxiolytic, meaning an anti-anxiety compound, by the medical establishmentmedical professionals in the know, that is.

Throughout my entire journey with Isabella, she taught me how CBD could help her, and I, in turn, taught (or attempted to teach) the special education teachers, doctors, and various therapists in her sphereof whom there were many. When you have a child with special needs and you want solutions, you never stop looking or educating. It becomes your life mission. Good thing! Without Isabella as my guide, I would not be here to tell you about CBD and its health benefits.

Thank you for joining meand my daughterto learn about CBD, health, and wellness. Today, Isabella is training to be a barista and never stops talking.
