Let’s face it - this year will not be your average cold and flu season! CBD products, like our CBD Gummies should always be a part of your daily wellness routine, but during this icky time of year, we are upping our CBD intake and making sure we never miss a dose. 

How does CBD help when you are sick? CBD is a known cannabinoid that feeds our endocannabinoid system (ECS) and works with our central nervous system to regulate our most important body functions: sleep, mood, appetite, and our immune system. 

Nourishing your ECS is a great preventative action to avoid getting sick and can promote faster healing when your body is in the process of fighting off a cold or the flu. 

At Kush Queen, we use the power of three to layer our CBD routine and boost our immune system during cold and flu season. For added wellness, you can also incorporate THC gummies from our THC gummies collection to elevate your immune-boosting regimen. High-quality Delta 9 gummies are an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy the additional benefits of THC alongside their CBD routine.

A Layered Approached To CBD and Cold and Flu Season

The Power of Tincture

CBD is an immune booster that’s full of natural antibacterial properties that can help fight secondary bacterial infections that can develop from the cold and flu. 

CBD’s properties can also help open up sinus passages and assist with breathing. For an oral delivery method, our Bare CBD tincture line comes in 500mg, 1000mg, 2500mg, or 5000mg doses! If you are battling with a cold or the flu we suggest going with a higher dose choice: 2500mg or 5000mg doses. 

In addition to CBD’s antibacterial properties, our tincture can help take the edge off when you are feeling under the weather. When the full body chills take over, bare is our go-to tool for body relaxation.

The Power of Hot Baths

Baths have so many scientifically proven benefits. When your immune system is under attack, hot baths can help fight viruses by elevating your body temperature and promoting better sleep which is key to keeping your immune system fully functioning. 

You know we love a good soak any time of the year, but a hot bath when you are feeling ill can boost your mood and provide much-needed relief. To kick your bath’s benefits up a notch, add a Kush Queen CBD Bath Bomb to your bath. 

The Perfect CBD Bath Bombs For Cold and Flu Season:

• Immunity CBD Bath Bomb 
• Relieve CBD Bath Bomb, 1000mg
• Sleep CBD Bath Bomb  

We combine essential oils with CBD to create a powerful entourage effect that transforms your bath into a full-body topical soak. While soaking, your skin absorbs all the wellness benefits of the CBD and essential oils which, results in full-body relaxation. 

Getting out of your warm cozy bed will feel like a big task if you are sick, but feeling the full-body topical benefits of CBD and increasing your circulation will make a noticeable difference in your (sick) day. 

The Power of Hand Hygiene

Now more than ever, hand hygiene is top of mind! It’s important to Wet, Lather, Scrub, Rinse & Dry your hands to prevent the spread of germs. Washing your hands regularly while you are sick is equally as critical as using this tool as a preventative measure. 

For an energizing, immune-boosting dose of CBD every time you wash your hands, grab our Soaked CBD Shower Gel. Soaked delivers three things: a moisture-filled lather thanks to the aloe juice base, a solid dose of transdermal CBD with every wash so the molecule gets into your bloodstream, plus a refreshing citrus scent. 

For those times when water isn’t readily available, check out our hand sanitizer just in case! It’s not infused with CBD but does have a gentle formula that won’t dry out your hands. Yay! 

Stock Yourself with CBD Prevention

The best way to avoid cold and flu season is with mindful preventative actions! Stay prepared by adding CBD into your wellness routine with our signature bath bombs, topicals, and ingestible products.

Last Friday I stepped outside and was instantly met with the first 90 plus degree day of summer. My edges curled back, my thigh gap got sticky, and for me, that can only signal one thing. The beginning of golf season! Yes, you heard that right, golf. The sport that has generally been associated with rich old white men is the sport that this little brown girl has been playing since she was 7. Growing up in the scorching Texas heat and then playing for four years during college in Georgia, I’ve had my share of long, achy nights trying to recover from carrying golf bags for 6 hours each day. I wish I had Kush Queen back then to help me with the stress of playing golf, as well as a CBD post-workout routine to help with muscle soreness recovery—CBD-infused products like CBD gummies could have been a game-changer for quicker recovery.

3 Steps To My CBD Post Workout Recovery

It never fails that the morning after playing a round of golf I wake up feeling sore all over. The kind of soreness that makes you question why you ever choose to move your body in the first place. My neck is tight, my shoulders burn and my head hurts so badly I feel hungover. That’s when I know it’s time for my CBD post workout routine. Now that I’m an adult I’ve incorporated a routine for getting rid of soreness. This plan also works as a killer self-care routine after a stressful day of work or play!

Step 1: Add CBD to your morning smoothie

I’m a creature of habit and that extends to my food. I have the same smoothie every morning. I know that might sound monotonous but try it out for yourself, and I think you’ll understand why I’m so crazy about it. 

• 1 cup of frozen Blueberries
• 1 frozen banana
• 2 tbs of nut butter (I prefer Justin’s Honey Almond Butter)
• Dash of Cinnamon or to taste
• 1 tsp honey (or you can soak dates, just make sure they’re pliable before blending)
• 1-2 Droppers of Kush Queen BARE CBD Tincture
• 1-1 1/2 cups of oat or nut milk
• 1 tbs of chia seeds or flax meal (optional)

Blend until smooth. Not only will the smoothie help to give you nutrients to feed your depleted muscles, but adding CBD will help with the aches from your workout and relieve any stress you might have so that you can start your day in a more calm state of mind. Bonus!

Step 2: Take a morning bath. I know, crazy right?

Who says baths are just for the evening? There’s nothing more luxurious to me than taking a hot bath, lighting some candles and putting on a podcast at 10 am on a Saturday. Well, that is until you add in our next step. Since my back is feeling like it’s going to start tweaking, I reach for the Kush Queen CBD bath bomb in RELIEVE. With 25mg of Pure CBD and notes of Organic clove, birch, and rosemary, this bath bomb helps me create the spa of my dreams in the reality of my apartment.  

Step 3: Rub Melt on your aching muscles

After you finish soaking, treat your muscles to the cooling sensation of Kush Queen’s CBD Lotion, Melt. As soon as the Melt touches my skin I can feel my senses relaxing. Spoiler alert, after steps 1-3, my CBD post workout routine has me feeling like putty and so ready to dig into step 4.

Step 4: Stretch!

I’m a big believer in foam rolling. It hurts like hell, but once your muscles are nice and relaxed from your previous pampering, it feels like the perfect cherry on a day full of recovery. Stretching helps to keep your muscles loose and warmed up. It gives me an opportunity to breathe and clear my mind. Want an extra boost? Consider taking THC gummies post-stretching for a deeper sense of body recovery.

You don’t have to be a golfer to have a CBD post workout recovery routine. Try this out after your next crazy hard CrossFit or spin class. We ask a lot of our bodies and we need to make sure that we’re pouring love and healing back into it.
