I am a 53 year old who has worked with her hands her entire life. I used to be a costumer and now I write for a living. At 53 and with an autoimmune disease, I’ve got my share of health issues.
I’ve got psoriasis, which effects skin and joints, among other things. I’ve got psoratic arthritis in one knee, both hips, and my fingers. A few years ago, it was really slowing me down, especially in winter. There were days I could barely walk. The meds for psoratic arthritis scare me. They all work by suppressing the immune system, which leaves you more susceptible to illness. I wanted to avoid that as long as possible, or forever if I could, but I needed to walk and to be able to use my hands.
I turned to full spectrum hemp oil. It’s made from the entire hemp plant, not the seeds, and I’d heard it helped a lot of people. On a limited budget, I went for lower priced brands. I’m here to name names and compare products. I first used HempMedix, available on Amazon. Very inexpensive, full spectrum, 500mg bottles. HempMedix was great. I still had pain, but it was much less than before I began using it. It gave me my walking back. Hempmedix did well on the arthritis, did nothing for my anxiety, did not help my migraines, and did not improve my sleep. I also tried Hemp Rich, also inexpensive, also on Amazon. Personally, I’d say it was not as effective as the HempMedix.
Just the relief from joint pain made it worth it, but I do have other issues. Migraines that began after a neck injury long ago. Neck pain from that injury. Lifetime issues with anxiety. And I’m hyperthyroid, which makes it difficult to sleep.
In steps Lisa Jane. “Want to try a better class of product and write about it?”
Absolutely.
I’m skeptical by nature. I have been very skeptical of whether the higher priced hemp oils were doing anything more than the more inexpensive ones. Lisa Jane is guiding me through the products, and in the interests of full disclosure, I am getting some samples to try for free. I am not being paid to write glowing, happy reviews, full of chocolate and puppies. I have been given the opportunity to share my honest thoughts on the Zilis line of products. That’s what I intend to do.
It’s also important to note that no product effects everyone the same way. Your mileage may vary.
