That’s where our range of chocolates, brownies, and drinking chocolate infused with Organic, Full Spectrum, Cold-Pressed CBD oil comes in — you’ll find a delightful fusion that brings together the goodness of plant-based indulgence and the potential health benefits of cannabidiol; one of 103 different known cannabinoids.
This delightful blend of pleasure is packed full of potential health and medicinal benefits. As you savour each bite, relish in the fact that you’re not just enjoying a moment of sweetness — you’re engaging in an act of wellbeing, and engaging in the therapeutic potential of CBD. So, why not make your chocolate experience not just a treat for your palate, but a moment of self-care for your body and mind too?
Let’s explore the reasons why this heavenly combination is making such huge waves.
great for your wellbeing...
Find your inner calm
Some people use CBD to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and stress, as it is believed to have a calming effect on the central nervous system. Therefore, CBD chocolate is a match made in heaven of two calming agents. The inherent relaxing properties of CBD combined with the soothing nature of chocolate – which actually comes from another form of cannabinoid called Anandamide, otherwise known as the “bliss molecule” – to create a treat that promotes a sense of calm and tranquillity. Whether you’re dealing with a stressful day or simply need to unwind, a piece of chocolate infused with CBD might just be your sweet escape.
A natural pain reliever
CBD has been studied for its potential as a natural pain reliever and for reducing inflammation. For those seeking alternatives to traditional pain management, CBD chocolate could offer a tasty solution. The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD have the potential to help ease discomfort, making it an appealing option for individuals dealing with chronic pain conditions.
A good night’s kip
CBD has shown promise in studies for its potential to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, and the endorphin-boosting properties of chocolate (Anandamide again!) can add an extra layer of joy to your day. Because of these combined qualities, the calming effects of this combination may also contribute to improved sleep. This can make it a delightful bedtime snack or drinking chocolate for those struggling with insomnia or irregular sleep patterns by promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.
Antioxidant Benefits
The cacao in chocolate is already renowned for its antioxidant content which comes from the flavonoids such as flavonols. Cacao boasts a robust profile of flavonols, including quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin. These flavonols act as potent antioxidants, safeguarding cells from oxidative stress. Epicatechin and catechin, prominent flavanols in cacao, contribute to improved heart health by enhancing blood flow and potentially reducing inflammation. These compounds, alongside the subtle presence of anthocyanins, not only give cacao its distinct flavour but also offer a medley of potential health benefits. When infused with CBD, chocolate becomes a powerhouse of antioxidants, potentially contributing to your overall health and giving you added protection against oxidative stress. And – as is the case with all of our products – our range is vegan, refined sugar-free, and organic, further contributing to the positive benefits of our CBD chocolate.
