Ease Your Aches With CBD
Better Nutrition|August 2019

The popular hemp extract has delivered dramatic, life-changing pain relief for many people—without the issues associated with opioids.

Ease Your Aches With CBD

After spending 25 years in the army, Nichole Taveres-Gibbs was medically retired with a disabling brain condition. It all started with severe migraines, and then an MRI revealed that she was suffering from Chiari malformation, a structural brain defect that affects balance.

After undergoing surgery, she remained in severe pain. Prescription pain medications were the only available treatment, and she took opioids for the next three years—at less than the prescribed dose for fear of addiction. But although she was taking 23 pills a day, the unrelenting, debilitating pain continued.

And then, her doctor suggested trying CBD. It helped so much that five months later, Taveres-Gibbs opened a store that sells only hemp-derived CBD products to help others get relief. Although she still walks with a cane, Taveres-Gibbs no longer needs so many pain pills and has taken back her life. And she isn’t alone.

Others who have experienced pain relief from hemp-derived CBD range from champion athletes to Hollywood celebrities. For some, CBD soothes aching feet on the red carpet, relaxes a tight neck on a Broadway stage, or improves a golf swing on the PGA Tour. For others, it puts a new lease on life by calming chronic, debilitating pain that used to turn every day—and many nights—into misery.
