CALM by Wellness: An Honest Review
The CALM brand is a brand that I support because of their desire to use natural products to help people learn more about CBD in a healthy way. I was initially approached to try the brand and I to admit that I was skeptical about the CBD oil movement, but after I learned more from this brand, my opinion changed.
First let’s answer the question: what is CBD oil? CBD or cannabidiol is extracted from the Cannabis sativa plant. The same plant that is used for medical marijuana and hemp plants. However, this compound does not induce a “high” feeling. Instead, it’s used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-seizure to name a few. It is also legal.
CALM by Wellness is a brand created by a community of doctors, researchers and farmers. Their manufacturers use domestic hemp grown in Oregon, Colorado, and Minnesota for five years. Their CBD products offer special blends of natural ingredients and hemp oil.
Some of the risks of CBD include: nausea, irritability, fatigue and low appetite. It is recommended that you speak with your doctor before using CBD oil. It may interact with other drugs you’re currently on.
Grown under the supervision of the Colorado Department of Agriculture, CALM by Wellness uses high quality fruit extracts to enhance flavor to pair with their potent hemp oil.
There is a great selection of products to try with CALM; lavender lotion, oil tinctures, and hemp gummies to name a few. Some flavors of their Hemp CBD Oil Tincture include peppermint and strawberry lemon-aid. For their Sleep Oil Tincture, the only flavor is blueberry lavender. CALM by Wellness also offers CBD gummies in flavors such as orange hibiscus, strawberry guava, and key lime. They even have natural products for your pets!
With CALM, I was given a complimentary bottle of their Sleep Oil Tincture. My first choice would have been the Hemp CBD Muscle Gel Relief because I was more curious about it, but alas. the Sleep Oil Tincture is described as a natural “sleep promoting formula with zero melatonin.”
Based on its instructions, suggested use is one droplet for an adult at least one hour before bedtime. I took one drop at 10:50pm and didn’t start feeling sleepy until after 12:03am. In my experience, the CALM Sleep Oil Tincture is similar to melatonin gummies. I don’t know why, but for me, whenever I take sleep aids (even the natural kinds), I fall asleep easier but once I’m asleep I have deeper dreams. Sometimes it’s scary!
I think the oil tincture would work for someone who’s an easy sleeper. Despite my experience, I still believe in the brand. I support the CALM brand and either efforts to be a 100% transparent CBD Company. I think that it’s important to have brands who tell their consumers the truth and who are willing to show the numbers and research on their products. I can especially appreciate the idea that their ingredients are grown in-state and are 100% regulated by their state department.
