COCONUT OIL

The antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties of the medium chain fatty acids/triglycerides (MCTs) found in coconut oil have been known to clear up eczema, heal skin allergies (including dermatitis and itchy skin), minimize odor, reduce allergic reactions, treat yeast and fungal infections, heal hot spots and dry skin,  help with bites and stings, and promote wound healing.

Coconut oil also improves digestion, increases nutrient absorption, helps with colitis and inflammatory bowel syndrome, reduces or eliminates bad breath, and helps with coughing. It also assists with weight loss, balances insulin and helps control and prevent diabetes, aids arthritis and ligament problems, helps prevent infection and disease, and increases energy and mood.

ARNICA OIL

Arnica helps open up capillaries and increase lymph drainage. It is best to use it at the onset of injury or muscle trauma. Arnica also helps move wastes out of the body and circulate blood to affected areas. It is also used to help aid in healing bruises.

EUCALYPTUS OIL

Eucalyptus oil has antiseptic properties and is used to help soothe irritated skin. Eucalyptus can also repel fleas and is effective in masking odors. Additionally, eucalyptus has anti-inflammatory properties.

PEPPERMINT OIL

Peppermint is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and analgesic and is often used to promote skin healing. Additionally, peppermint oil can help repel insects and masks strong odors.

HEMP SEED OIL

Hemp oil from the seed is better than fish or flax seed-based oils because it naturally has the perfect ratio of Omega – 6 to Omega – 3 fatty acids (3:1), which your pet needs. Hemp seed oil moisturizes a dog’s skin and fur has virtually none of the side effects of fish oil. Hemp seed oil can prevent and treat numerous skin disorders in dogs, including dry nose, acne, eczema, rash, and dandruff. Hemp seed oil can also enhance blood circulation and stimulate a dog’s or cat’s cognitive thinking. Plus, it can thicken fur texture and lessen shedding. And because hemp seed oil is extracted from the hemp plant, there are no psychoactive effects.

FULL SPECTRUM HEMP EXTRACT (CBD)

Cannabidiol, or CBD, holds the key to the wide variety of medicinal and therapeutic effects. The more we learn about CBD, the more it seems poised to revolutionize medicine as we know it. Just as CBD has helped humans, your dog can reap the same health-boosting (and even life-saving) benefits.

CBG

A non-psychoactive cannabinoid, CBG’s antibacterial effects can improve the overall effects of cannabis. CBG is known to kill or slow bacterial growth, reduce inflammation (particularly in its acidic CBGA form), inhibit cell growth in tumor or cancer cells, and promote bone growth. It also acts as a low-affinity antagonist at the CB1 receptor. CBG pharmacological activity at the CB2 receptor is currently unknown.

CBN

While CBN has the properties of a sedative, it is not psychoactive and therefore could actually be a useful way to medicate without getting high. However, the content of CBN in any bud is very low and seldom passes the 1% mark in cured bud, although only tiny doses are required for it to affect the body.

Studies have shown that CBN could contribute to stimulating bone tissue growth by causing an indirect recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells from surrounding bone marrow. Commonly known for their ability to transform into blood cells, these stem cells are also able to turn into bone and other tissues, potentially making CBN useful in healing fractures.

Another effect, almost the opposite of being able to generate bone tissue, is the ability of CBN to ease the overgrowth of skin cells. While seemingly unimportant, in patients with psoriasis (a condition where skin regeneration happens 3-4 times faster than normal due to inflammation) this could be useful in helping to regulate the body’s production of skin cells. CBN also showed potential in treating psoriasis when applied as a topical, which according to a 2008 study, could be effective way of treating MRSA and burns.

As with CBD, CBN is an anti-inflammatory, but it also has pain relief properties which could help to treat burns by acting on TRPV2 receptors (also known as high-threshold thermo-sensors). Although trials are yet to come, the combination of CBN and CBD could be an efficient way in treating burns victims both in pain relief and as an anti-inflammatory.

CBDA

CBDA has antibacterial, anti-nausea, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, painkiller, and anti-tumor properties. Studies show that CBDA helps to inhibit the migration of highly aggressive breast cancer.
