Welcome back to the Code of Style and this article about Live a Life From the Inside Out with ZV Botanicals
Sometimes, all you need is right there in nature to heal your body. For Joanna Matson-Tandberg, founder of ZV Botanicals, nature proved to be healing for herself and her family, so much so that she cultivated a brand dedicated to providing Ayurvedic herbs and CBD as a remedy for life’s ailments. From dry weather repair to pain relief and digestive treatments, this brand helps people live their best lives, naturally.
The ZV Botanicals blog is a great source for educating consumers on natural ways to feel better, or as Joanna likes to put it, “Be a rebel, heal yourself.”
Live a Life From the Inside Out with ZV Botanicals
ZV Botanicals blends Ayurvedic herbs and CBD to create a brand that is leading the way in natural healing with organic and wild-harvested ingredients harnessing the goodness of nature to treat the whole body.
When founder Joanna Matson-Tandberg was facing health issues, she started making recipes herself to remedy her ailments. Having Crohn’s Disease and watching her kids go through their health challenges coupled with her dad’s Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, was incentive enough for her to find an alternate way to provide healing relief for her loved ones. The right concoctions proved to be a lifesaver and altered her journey in the process.
ZV Botanicals is the result and it captures the essence of what has helped Joanna lead a healthier, mission-driven life, with products created with intention and integrity. Joanna is an advocate and educator on Ayurvedic principles and CBD benefits that are front and center of her product line.
The brand offers organic, handcrafted, small-batch signature massage oils, mouth pull oil, healing salve, therapeutic tinctures, and digestive bitters.
What is CBD and how does it differ from marijuana
CBD is short for cannabidiol. It’s a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the cannabis flower, a plant whose medicinal benefits have been used for thousands of years. It’s one of more than one hundred phytocannabinoids, or molecules that are uniquely produced by the cannabis plant and are the source of its therapeutic benefits.
The Cannabis sativa plant has two primary species: hemp and marijuana. CBD can be found in both, but there’s a higher percentage of CBD in hemp versus marijuana and CBD is therefore commonly extracted from the hemp plant.
THC, CBD’s cousin, is found in marijuana and gives the “stoned” high that many people are familiar with when they think about cannabis. Although CBD and THC are closely related, they react differently with various receptors in the brain and body. They both offer therapeutic benefits, but CBD doesn’t make you feel stoned or intoxicated. Bear in mind that when buying CBD it’s crucial to buy third-party-tested CBD, like in ZV botanicals products, to make sure that you’re purchasing quality CBD that doesn’t contain any amount of THC.
The potential benefits of CBD include *
- Treatment of autoimmune diseases like inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis
- Treatment of skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis
- Relief of anxiety and depression
- Relief of acute inflammation
- Treatment of various types of chronic pain
- Treatment of neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s, dementia, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and more
- Reduction of muscle spasticity involved with multiple sclerosis
- Treatment of cardiovascular dysfunction like atherosclerosis and arrhythmia
- Relief of insomnia–may help falling asleep and staying asleep
- Relief of seizures
- Treatment of perimenopausal symptoms
How should I take CBD?
How you choose to use CBD depends on your own individual needs and preferences. It can either be ingested orally or applied topically. Here’s an overview of some of the common ways to take CBD.
CBD tinctures
- Particularly good for pretty much everyone
- Easy to use, efficient, and versatile
- Used by dropping CBD oil directly under your tongue
- The tongue is capillary-rich, meaning tinctures allow CBD to reach your bloodstream quickly
ZV botanicals tinctures (Prices: Ranging from $16 to $200) are organically-grown, full-spectrum CBD tinctures, and options include:
BLISS: Ayurvedic herbs to support the Nervous, Musculo-Skeletal and Endocannabinoid systems plus Tangerine, Clove & Frankincense – Relaxing
CHILL: Ayurvedic herbs to support the Circulatory, Digestive and Endocannabinoid system plus Lime, Fennel, Tulsi, & Neem – Cooling
LIFT: Ayurvedic herbs to support the Respiratory, Adrenal and Endocannabinoid systems plus Lemon, Cardamom & Peppermint – Uplifting
PURE: Pets & Sensitive Ones – Calming
CBD bitters
- Particularly good for supporting digestion and adding to drinks
- A few drops can be added to water, tea, soda, or even to your favorite drink, such as a cocktail, champagne, gin or bourbon
ZV Botanical Bitters (Prices: Ranging from $16 to $58) include aromatic lemon-cardamon (ZVB Lift), pitch-dark cacao (ZVB Joy), chai spice (ZVB Spicy), lavender-fennel (ZVB Chill), orange-clove (ZVB Bliss), and Damask rose (ZVB Rosé) to delight your senses
They are best taken before a meal to support digestion
CBD salves & topicals
- Particularly good for localized pain relief
- Provides immediate relief
- Doesn’t enter the bloodstream like other CBD products
- Applied directly to the skin and is absorbed by the body instantly
Salves and topicals (Prices: Ranging from $12 to $55)
- Select from three Ayurvedic massage oils and one salve
- Concentrated Ayurvedic herbal massage oils help hydrate and nourish the skin and body, addressing Vata, Pitta, and Kapha dosha elements
- The salve soothes acute inflammation, itching and pain, guiding the body back to its natural state of balance
But wait – Is CBD even legal?
Yes. Well, for the most part.
Hemp derived CBD has been federally legal since 2018 after a new Farm Bill was passed that made it federally legal to grow hemp. But even though it’s legal under federal law, each state gets to decide for themselves. You should check with your particular state to see what its specific laws are. You can find a nice map here that details each state’s laws. For other countries, I advise you to check your countries’ legislation regarding CBD.
