Benefits of CBD honey sticks
Honey is incredibly beneficial on its own, but combined with CBD, this natural sweetener takes on a whole new suite of potential benefits. Learn why you should take the time to make your own CBD honey sticks at home:
Honey is 100% natural
Unlike many other sweeteners, honey is 100% natural, and it doesn’t contain any additives. It’s even possible to purchase a type of honey called “raw honey” that hasn’t gone through any industrial processing whatsoever.
Honey contains powerful antioxidants
Honey is a great source of antioxidants, which are beneficial compounds that reduce the concentration of free radicals in your cells. There’s a well-established link between antioxidants and reduced inflammation, and some scientists believe that inflammation may be the root cause of practically every known disease.
The benefits of CBD and honey might boost each other
While honey and CBD come from entirely different sources, the benefits of these two substances might overlap in surprising ways. CBD has been studied, for instance, for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, so using CBD in tandem with honey might add to the impressive benefits that this natural sweetener can provide.
CBD honey sticks are portable
Using CBD on the go can be challenging. In addition to being delectably sweet, CBD-infused honey sticks are remarkably portable and easy to use anywhere, anytime. While your coworkers might object if you smoke a CBD joint in the office, no one will bat an eyelash if they see you suck down a stick of CBD honey. It’s even relatively easy to use CBD honey sticks while you’re driving or engaged in other complex tasks.
Purchasing organic, local honey helps your ecosystem
Bees are having a hard time right now. Colonies of bees keep dying for mysterious reasons, but these buzzing insects must continue carrying pollen from place to place if life on Earth is to continue. Buying honey supports beekeeping businesses, which, in turn, provides human beings with solid reasons to keep bees alive.
Local honey might improve allergy symptoms
Bees that live in your local area consume pollen from flowers and other plants that commonly cause allergies. Thanks to a process similar to how vaccines produce antibodies that then protect you from illnesses, consuming local honey might also reduce even the most severe allergy symptoms.
Best ways to use CBD honey sticks
