With most moms having to celebrate Mother’s Day in quarantine this year, many children and loved ones are looking for gifts that can provide comfort, calm and relief at home. CBD products are the perfect relaxing and holistic remedy sure to to benefit any mom.

We at Flourish + Live Well strongly believe in nature’s power to heal and renew. All of our products harness the natural power and benefits of plants to help us heal and thrive. But beyond these natural remedies, we also believe in connecting with the natural world around us. Nature and time outdoors has been proven to have several health and wellness benefits.

Most people would agree that we simply feel better after getting a good night of sleep. When we have trouble sleeping or fail to get our full 6-8 hours in, we have less energy, find it harder to concentrate and feel sluggish. While lack of sleep certainly impacts our moods and daily routine, many wonder if lack of sleep is, infact, detrimental to our health?

Many people would be shocked to find out that sleep deprivation can have serious health defects. Science has linked poor sleep patterns with both mental and physical problems. These issues include: memory loss, mood changes, inability to concentrate, and weight gain. But most importantly, lack of sleep has been shown to seriously weaken our immune systems.

We often associate healing and recovery with medicine and physicians. However, mental and physical health does not always require a prescription. Our bodies are equipped with incredible natural healing mechanisms that kill toxic cells and fight off infections. When the natural state of our body is disrupted or impaired, these mechanisms weaken and we are more prone to illness and disease. There are several steps we can take to strengthen our bodies and promote natural healing. Below we have curated a list of four ways to keep ourselves strong and protected while at home.

By now,  most of us have come to understand that washing our hands is the most important way to stay safe from COVID-19. But why is this simple mix of soap and water so impactful?

These changes are keeping us inside and as we are forced to adapt to a completely new way of life for the foreseeable future.

While Flourish + Live Well unfortunately cannot provide a miraculous cure-all for this situation, we do have several products that can ease the secondary effects of this global pandemic and offer some relief in these strange times. Here are some of the ways in which CBD can offer anxiety relief, sleep aid, and boost immune response:
