Is Hemp Extract Right for You? Here’s What You Should Know

If you’re looking for a natural way to support your nervous system, reduce stress, or feel more balanced in your everyday life—hemp extract (CBD, CBDA, CBG, THC, CBN etc) might be the missing piece in your wellness routine. Did you know all those are contained in this amazing plant?  Remember that technically, hemp IS cannabis, so if you hear me use them interchangeably, that’s why.  Its like saying homo-sapien for our species.  Both Hemp and Marijuana are just nicknames of one species.  Cannabis.

But not all hemp products are created equal, and not everyone needs the same approach. As a holistic practitioner, I want to help you understand what CBD and its sister cannabinoids really do, how it works in the body, and how to find a product that actually supports your healing—not just adds to the noise.

What is Hemp Extract?

Hemp extract—or somethings just known as CBD (but its not just CBD to be fair)—is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant. It’s non-psychotropic (won’t get you high) and works with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a built-in network that helps regulate sleep, mood, immunity, inflammation, stress response, and more.

What cannabinoids are Known to Support:

Research and clinical experience have shown that it may help with:

•🌙 Sleep support (especially falling and staying asleep)

• 😌 Anxiety and nervous system regulation

• 🌿 Chronic pain or inflammation

• 🌸 Hormonal balance and PMS symptoms

• 🧘‍♀️ Emotional resilience & trauma recovery

• 🤕 Migraines or headaches

• 💩 Gut health and motility support

• 🔥 Reducing inflammatory flare-ups (like joint pain or autoimmune flares)

It’s not a cure-all—but it can be a powerful ally when used with intention and the right guidance.

The Science Behind It:

Your endocannabinoid system (ECS) is responsible for maintaining balance—called homeostasis—in your body. When life gets chaotic, that system can become depleted.

Cannabinoids do not replace your ECS—it supports it by interacting with receptors (CB1 and CB2) throughout your brain, immune system, and gut. In simple terms: cannaninoids helps your body regulate itself more efficiently.

Clinical studies have shown that ALL cannabinoids have anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing), and neuroprotective properties, and it’s being studied more and more for conditions like PTSD, epilepsy, pain, and even hormone-related disorders.

✅ What to Look for in a Quality Hemp Extract:

Not all of these products are created equal, and unfortunately, many products on the market are low-quality or even unsafe. Its not a truly regulated marketing, but our brand is the industry standard and the FDA uses Green Compass as its guideline.

Here’s what I look for:

1.Organically Grown Hemp – Pesticides, mold, and heavy metals have no place in your healing journey. Always choose hemp that is organically sourced. Green Compass is USDA certified.

2.Third-Party Lab Testing – Reputable brands provide COAs (Certificates of Analysis) so you know exactly what’s in the bottle (and what’s not). All our products have this testing!

3.Full-Spectrum or Broad-Spectrum Extracts – These contain other beneficial compounds (like terpenes and minor cannabinoids) that work synergistically in what’s called the “entourage effect.” 

4.Clean Ingredients – No artificial flavors, dyes, or preservatives. Look for short, pronounceable ingredient lists. We never use artificial, toxic or solvents in our products.

5.Expert Guidance – Especially if you’re using this for anxiety, trauma, hormone imbalances, or other deeper healing work, you need someone who knows what they’re doing to help you dose and track results.

🌱 Why Work With a Practitioner?

There’s a huge difference between randomly picking up an oil or product online… and being guided through a healing plan with someone who understands your body, your history, and your goals. Its actually imperitive!

As a holistic practitioner trained in plant medicine, I help clients use hemp extract as a tool—not a crutch. We use it to regulate, restore, and support your system while addressing the root causes behind your symptoms.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, emotional dysregulation, hormonal imbalance, or just want a gentler approach to managing stress—CBD might be exactly what your nervous system has been asking for.
