CBD Skincare: The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company

February 9, 2021 · 5 Comments

CBD has anti-aging, skin-enhancing, and skin healing benefits. Topical CBD also provides muscle relief. But for CBD to work, it requires a specific dosage, quality, and formulation. A product that meets all these criteria is The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company. It has an astounding 1500mg of CBD to soothe muscles and improve chronic skin conditions…including signs of aging.
The Balm by Deeply Rooted

The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company provides superior skincare benefits

Defining Quality CBD Skincare

You’ve probably seen CBD in many popular boutique brands at Sephora, Violet Gray, Blue Mercury, and Ulta.

But some CBD skincare uses just enough CBD to include it on the ingredient list, but not enough CBD to offer effective skincare or muscle relief. This practice is called “sprinkling”.  Sprinkling is surprisingly common, even amongst some well-known, reputable beauty brands. Some beauty brands include only 50-100mg of CBD in their formulations.

Another practice is using questionably sourced or heavily processed CBD isolates. CBD Isolates are so highly processed that they lose the valuable CBD nutrients, including skin-loving CBG (more about CBG later).

The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company is a full-spectrum CBD free of all these common CBD problems.

The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company is an impressive formulation

Have you ever been underwhelmed by a CBD skincare product? Then you got a product with subpar CBD. Because good CBD lives up to the hype.

Why The Balm is Special

The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company contains CBD from Deep Rooted Hemp Company’s own Colorado grown industrial hemp. Deep Rooted Hemp Company is fully transparent – all of their Independent CANNABINOID PROFILE test results are available for download on their website.

The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company is:

  • 1500mg of Full Spectrum CBD from US Grown Organic Hemp Oil
  • Mindfully grown and crafted
  • Small Batch
  • Sustainable supply chain supporting women, veterans, minority and disabled owned businesses.
  • Independently tested
  • Full Transparency
  • Minimally processed for environmentally sound footprint
  • Less than 0.3% THC
  • Responsible packaging with Hemp-based fiber labels

It is a high-quality CBD – and a generous amount of it – at a whopping 1500 mg – far exceeding their competitors.  The Balm’s CBD level is high enough to address chronic skin concerns and even sore muscles.

This multi-purpose skin and muscle treatment is packaged in an easy to use, non-greasy formulation. This formulation also combines CBD with effective natural ingredients to provide relief to problematic skin and sore muscles.

The Balm contains 1500 mg per 2 ounce tin!

The Balm contains 1500 mg of full-spectrum, independently-tested CBD per 2-ounce tin!

This Full Spectrum CBD contains CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC, Flavonoids & Terpenes. Plus Omegas and Vitamin D [1] to give skin a lovely glow!

CBD Skincare Benefits

Full Spectrum CBD, such as used in The Balm, has several skincare benefits.

Hemp Seed Oils fatty acid profile is highly beneficial for the skin. It protects the skin barrier and treats several skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, and acne. Hemp seed oil is a good source of polyunsaturated and essential fatty acids. These address the skins of skin aging.

CBG

Cannabigerols (CBG) is a very important compound found in full spectrum CBD. CBG is a skin-care superstar.

CBG kills bacteria and reduces inflammation. CBG addresses complicated skin problems that typically require prescription creams. These include moderate photo-damage, eczema and psoriasis. [2]

CBG is difficult to extract, so a Full-spectrum CBD like The Balm is a great way to get CBG benefits.

CBD Skin Care Research

CBD Research

CBD Research Studies show many skincare and pain relief benefits

Research studies show CBD helps:

  • Dry and irritated skin
  • Sore muscles and joints
  • Bruises
  • Chapped lips
  • Signs of aging such as wrinkles and dullness
  • Inflammation, including inflammation due to chronic inflammatory conditions [3,4]
  • Acne
  • Skin sensitivity
  • Excess sebum[5]
  • Eczema and Psoriasis[6]
  • Restores sun-damaged skin

Topical CBD for Pain Relief

Exercise or repetitive tasks can cause achy joints and sore muscles. Topical CBD can help. The European Journal of Pain published a study reports:

“topical CBD application has therapeutic potential for relief of arthritis pain-related behaviours and inflammation without evident side-effects. [7]

The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company has 1500mg of CBD per tin

How The Balm’s Supporting Ingredients Soothe sore muscles

Injury or exercise can induce muscle soreness.

The action of the ingredients Comfrey and Plantain are particularly interesting because, during the initial period of injury, the liver secretes an enzyme that causes the activity of fibroblasts in the body to increase collagen production, the protein the body uses to repair soft tissue.

Comfrey and Plantain produce the compound Allantoin, which stimulates the activity of the fibroblasts to continue producing collagen beyond the initial period of injury, after which time the fibroblasts ordinarily return to their pre-injury level of activity.

Scan the QR code on the bottom of the tin for the independent lab testing results for that batch

As a result, soft tissue repair continues at an accelerated pace for as long as the Comfrey and Plantain-containing formula is applied.

Arnica supports the healing that has been set in motion by Comfrey and Plantain, as do the other ingredients. It is very effective on post-workout soreness.

Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients found in The Balm.

The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company

Ingredient Profile


CBD Oil comes from Cannabis Sativa

Hemp Oil

Organic Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. Hemp Seed Oil doesn’t contain the same compounds as the plant, but still has the nutrients and fatty acids.  These include essential amino acids, omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, Vitamin E, and minerals.

Food-grade Hemp Seed Oil contains no THC or only trace levels. THC is the compound associated with the cannabis high.

Olive oil

Olive Oil

Olive Oil moisturizes but won’t clog pores. It has skin-enhancing Omega-3s and polyphenols.

Linoleic acid has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.

Olive Oil within a formulation removes the greasy feel of direct application.

Shea Butter

Derived from the Shea nut, this emollient is packed with vitamins to soften skin, heals scars, and reduces acne.

Shea can feed the skin and overhaul the skin texture, even on deep burns.

Cocoa Seed

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa Butter from the fatty part of the Cocoa bean.

Cocoa Butter is popular for pre-empting stretch marks. It helps the skin remain resilient and elastic. It is also moisturizing.

Cocoa Seed Butter contains a significant amount of polyphenol and flavonoid antioxidants.

Cocoa Butters’ natural barrier action compensates for the disrupted ceramides levels typically found in dry, irritated or inflamed skin.

Beeswax

Beeswax

Beeswax

Beeswax is a bee by-product which softens the skin. It has an occlusive quality to provide a barrier while retaining moisture.

It is a natural skin conditioner that stands up to wind, dry weather, cold winters, and hot summer sun.

Calendula

Calendula

Calendula flower promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.

Studies have shown that calendula can increase collagen production and stimulates epithelial cell growth to promote cell turnover [8].

It is an anti-inflammatory that helps heal the skin. It is generally used in conjunction with other ingredients to help buffer potent ingredients and soothe the skin.

Comfrey

Comfrey

Comfrey is used for the “topical treatment of pain, inflammation and swelling of muscles and joints in degenerative arthritis, acute myalgia in the back, sprains, contusions and strains after sports injuries and accidents” [9]

Plantain

A starchy cousin of the tropical banana. They are often called cooking bananas.

In addition to the comfrey-plantain collagen-producing and healing action described above, Plantains contain magnesium for muscle cramp relief.

Arnica

Arnica is in The Balm

Arnica

Arnica flower is a natural anti-inflammatory. It reduces puffiness without causing dryness or dehydration.

It also decreases bruising and inflammation. Arnica promotes healing and reduces swelling.

Studies show it is helpful with osteoarthritis and knee pain. It reduces swelling.[11]

Lemongrass

Lemongrass

The leaves and oils of the Lemongrass plant are used for a variety of ailments including  rheumatism and achy joints.

Lemongrass has a fresh, calming, citrus scent.

Lavender

Lavender Oil softens and conditions the skin.

It contains linalyl acetate, an anti-inflammatory that heals skin irritation.[10]

Lavender’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties keep skin healthy. It has soothing properties to calm any imbalances such as inflammation or dry skin flaking.

The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances cell growth in the skin.

Lavender

The Experience

A freshly opened tin of The Balm has a smooth texture. It is harder than jelly or cream but it is not difficult to work with or scoop. Just a small amount is all you need.

texture

Non-sticky balm that melts into an easy to apply oil texture.

The Balm texture and consistency

The Balm texture and consistency

Close up on a scoop of The Balm to see the texture. It is the color of honey but not at all sticky, even on dry down

scent

Refreshing lemongrass as a top note. Far preferable to the tell-tale Bengay like odors of many topical ointments.

Directions: apply to dry skin, sore muscles, joints, and bruises. Rub in well.

application

The Balm quickly melts into the skin. It is not sticky like Bengay or lidocaine creams. The Balm doesn’t stain clothing, make me oily or leave a residue. It doesn’t burn or sting.

The Balm is outstanding on chapped lips. My lips are chronically dry, especially in winter. I tried everything, even Creme de la Mer concentrate. The Balm soothes chapped lips while providing a mild plumping action.

The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company

The Balm by Deep Rooted Hemp Company is a natural remedy to soothe sore muscles. It also provides a superior natural remedy for several chronic skincare ailments.

CBD instead of OTC Pain Relievers

With unexplained muscle or joint aches, it is always wise to check with your doctor to avoid masking a serious underlying issue.

But if your muscular pain and soreness associated with exercise or other known causes, you might find this product a good alternative to many others whose negatives outweigh their positives. Why take ibuprofen or Tylenol when a safe, natural remedy will work?

Superior Ginseng
BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsules

September 17, 2020 · 4 Comments

Ginseng is a potent antioxidant with many health benefits. To get benefits, a ginseng supplement must contain the correct form of ginseng and offer superior absorption. We are impressed with BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsules. They are designed to maximize the absorption of their six-year Red Ginseng.

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsules

What is Ginseng?

There are several types of ginseng. Red ginseng has pharmacological benefits. It is legendary in oriental medicine. Research associates the most health benefits with Red Ginseng, also known as Panax ginseng or Korean red ginseng.

Korean Red Ginseng root and plant. The root provides health benefits

The dried unprocessed root is called white ginseng. The root that has been steamed and dried is called red ginseng. Red Ginseng is ginseng roots harvested after 6 or more years. It is more expensive to grow.

While ginseng is sourced from other regions, red ginseng from Korea is the type with the most benefits.

GINSENG BENEFITS

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus contains maximum ginsenosides

Gingseng can enhance energy, stamina, memory, circulation. Ginseng supports the immune system and offers skin benefits. But not all ginseng supplements contain the most beneficial ginseng.

Ginseng contains two important compounds: ginsenosides and gintonin. These compounds complement one another to provide health benefits. The major active pharmacological component of ginseng is Ginsenosides.

Ginsenosides, a form of Saponin, are rare and found almost exclusively in ginseng. The antioxidant potency and most health benefits of ginseng are from the ginsenosides. [1]

But Ginsenoside availability and absorption is low in most ginseng supplements, so choose ginseng supplements carefully.

WHY BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus IS SPECIAL

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus is an easily absorbed red ginseng supplement. It contains maximum Ginsenosides – above 8%.

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus contains maximum Ginsenosides

BTGIN is a Korean manufacturer specialized in enzyme fermented ginseng products.


BTGIN ensures quality by sourcing and extracting their own ginseng and manufacturing their capsules in their own facility. This gives them far more control over the quality of the product than the ginseng brands that outsource.

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus contains maximum Ginsenosides levels

HIGH ABSORPTION

BTGIN designs their capsules for optimal benefit and best absorption. Their goal is to provide a superior red ginseng supplement.

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin capsules have powdered red ginseng saponin extract which contains over 20 types of rare Ginsenosides.

Each capsule contains 100% Korean Red Ginseng Extract Powder that is highly concentrated (Rb1+Rg1+Rg3(S) =30mg/g, Rg3(S+R)=20mg/g, CompoundK=5mg/g).

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus contains highly concentrated 100% Korean Red Ginseng Extract Powder

Best Extraction Methods

Research indicates ginseng extraction methods are crucial to the quality of the ginseng, especially the Ginsenosides.[2]

SUPERIOR GINSENG Roots

BTGIN uses only 6-year-old ginsengs grown in the Geumsan region of Korea. This allows them to harvest the fine roots that contain the best and highest ginsenoside concentrations. [3]

Some supplements use all of the plant, but the benefit is in the root. BTGIN only uses the root.

Extracting from the fine roots yields the best Ginseng benefits

GMP CERTIFIED FACILITY

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus supplements are manufactured in their own GMP certified facility, which holds to strict standards. They are GMP certified (Good Manufacturing Practices) and ISO22000-Certified. They also have several certifications from the Korean government.

Supporting research

The Efficacy of Ginseng

In East Asian countries, Red ginseng has been widely used to treat various diseases. Research supports Red Ginseng, so only buy RED, such as is used in this formulation.  Here are some of the documented benefits of Ginseng:

Invigorating, Metabolism Boosting

In a study comparing Korean ginseng with American ginseng, Korean (Red) ginseng was found to be invigorating and to boost the metabolism. [4]

Anti-fatigue

Korean red ginseng has long been linked to increased alertness, and now there is research to back it. A study of 21 men and 69 women with idiopathic chronic fatigue (ICF) showed ginseng reduced clinic signs of fatigue evidenced in blood serum and oxygen levels. [5]

Reduces Stress

Studies indicate that the ginseng components GTS, ginsenosides Rg3, and Rb1 may be neuroprotective to a stressed brain. This reduces the impact of stress on the brain and body. [6]

Soothes Eczema Inflammation

A study found that Red ginseng reduced inflammation and improved the antioxidant activity in skin cells impacted by eczema.[7]

Reduce inflammation from exercise

A study of young males taking daily ginseng, post-exercise inflammation and muscle damage was reduced for up to 72 hours after exercise (running uphill on a treadmill).[8]

oxidative stress reduction

A study of postmenopausal women found red ginseng may reduce insulin resistance and oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity. Over 80 postmenopausal women who took 3 grams of red ginseng or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. Antioxidant activity and oxidative stress markers were then measured.[9]

Chronic Liver Disease

Several studies [10] show Korean Red Ginseng has positive effects on liver disease and liver function.

Promising Research to Inhibit Tumor Growth

20(S)-protopanaxadiol (PPD) comes from ginseng saponin. In lab studies, PPD was shown to inhibit growth and induce cell cycle arrest in HCT116 cells. It showed anticancer activity on colon cancer cells.[11,12]

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus

BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus contains 60 capsules


Ginseng Best Use

  • Talk to your doctor before taking any supplement, especially if you have blood pressure issues or take blood thinners.
  • Avoid combining ginseng and caffeine. Ginseng can intensify the effects of caffeine.
  • Choose a supplement with Korean Red Ginseng

The Experience

I love that BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsule Plus gives me an energy boost AND health benefits!

These capsules are

  • Gluten-Free

Frequently when I take supplements, it is difficult to know if it is working. I have taken other ginseng supplements before and they didn’t help much. It is great to know BTGIN Gin Hongsam Saponin Capsules is a ginseng supplement with superior absorption for maximum health benefits. Plus it gives an energy boost!

Kinetosis (locomotional dizziness) impacts many recreational and necessary activities.

Better known as motion sickness, it causes instability, dizziness, and nausea. It can reduce your ability to travel comfortably.

DizzyStop is an all-natural formulation to control motion sickness and occasional dizziness.

About DizzyStop

DizzyStop is an all-natural herbal supplement developed by Dr. Stuart Barton, an Otolaryngologist (ENT).

Over the course of thirty years in practice, Dr. Barton saw many cases of motion sickness, dizziness, imbalance, and vertigo. Motion sickness even prevented his own family from enjoying activities like fishing, amusement park rides, and travel.  Dr. Barton found a specific combination of herbs that successfully controlled these conditions.

Coping With Imbalance

If you know what causes your dizziness and nausea there are medications to quell it. The problem is they make one so sleepy. Too sleepy to do anything….but sleep.

But interestingly… research backs the use of ginger for imbalance and motion sickness.

✽

While I am a die-hard ginger fan for its’ beauty benefits, I had to see this research for myself.

Supporting research

The Efficacy of Ginger for Motion Sickness


Ginger has been long documented as a useful anti-inflammatory. You may have used ginger tea for congestion or an upset stomach. Studies also support ginger for imbalance and nausea. Here are some highlights:

The British Journal of Anesthesia published a systematic review. It gathering the results of six different clinical trials that successfully used ginger to treat nausea and vomiting. Ginger worked for morning sickness, seasickness, and chemotherapy-induced nausea.[2]

Studies indicate Ginger even reduced highly debilitating vertigo and nystagmus.

“Ginger root reduced the induced vertigo significantly better than did placebo.[3]

Ginger every four hours helped sea sickness on high seas.

In a study of seasick naval cadets on the high seas…”Ginger root reduced the tendency to vomiting and cold sweating significantly” [4]

Ginger stops nausea directly within the gastrointestinal system, not the nervous system, so it doesn’t have to make you sleepy to stop nausea.[5]

Traditional antiemetics don’t work on every nausea-inducing stimuli. [6] For some people, bright lights, noise, odors, headaches, or backward motion cause nausea.  Studies show ginger is a broad-spectrum antiemetic.

“Various preclinical and clinical studies have shown ginger to possess antiemetic effects against different emetogenic stimuli.” [7]

Ginger showed similar results to metoclopramide in controlling post-op nausea in 60 women. [8]

Research shows specific doses are effective[8] as well as certain ginger components in easing prokinetic or motion-induced nausea:

“The exact mechanism responsible for the anti-emetic effects of ginger is unknown; however, the ginger phytochemicals, especially 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol, and 6-shogaol, may function as a 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT3) antagonist, NK1 antagonist, antihistaminic, and possess prokinetic effects.”[9]


Studies show ginger root as effective as commonly prescribed antiemetic drugs like metoclopramide for travel sickness or pain-induced nausea.

For some people, antiemetics won’t work if they are moving backward. DizzyStop can work even on imbalanced induced by unusual motion, like facing backward on this Ferris wheel

✽

Understanding Imbalance


Travel Sickness, Dizziness, and Vertigo

Don’t self-diagnosis dizziness. Dizziness in the absence of motion can be a serious symptom.

Your doctor may determine your occasional dizziness is a medication side effect. Or the result of a pinched nerve, an inner ear issue, or a visual disturbance.

Ever get cold water in one ear? It is disorienting, isn’t it?  The dizzy reaction is because we use our ears to balance.

The inner ear provides a delicate center of balance

Our vestibular system reports balance data to the brain. It uses our ears, eyes, and feet to sense where we are in space. These function together to determine if we are moving, standing level, falling, or on an uneven surface.

The brain uses this constant stream of information to adjust our balance to stay upright.

No wonder this balance system reacts to being subjected to fast, tilted, repetitive, vector rotation, such as the ride below. Studies document certain vector speeds cause the release of nausea-inducing hormones.

Dizziness and nausea can be a brain response to motion

But dizziness can occur without motion. If something disrupts these messages to the brain, like obstruction, injury, or inflammation, the vestibular system can send a false report to the brain. So the brain thinks there’s motion.

This perception of motion, called illusory self-motion, tricks the body into reacting like true motion and triggers nausea.  One study reports: “Illusory self-motion is a purely central nervous system (visual-vestibular) stimulation that evokes dramatic shifts in gastric electrical activity and significant release of the posterior pituitary hormone vasopressin.”[10]

Fortunately, occasional illusory self-motion and nausea can be controlled without drowsiness.

But Can’t I just drink Ginger tea?

Grapeseed Extract reduces nausea

Sipping ginger tea helps queasiness.  I’ve grated fresh ginger and let it boil, then let it simmer for a day until it is strongly steeped. We call it “the concoction.” Each sip makes my eyes water. Not for the faint of heart, this ginger brew.

But even this robust ginger tea doesn’t elevate dizziness. Here is why:

Optimal control requires higher doses than can be achieved by a fresh ginger tea or pre-packaged tea bag.   Studies show specific measurements of ginger root offered these optimal results. [11] And it is difficult to consume a sizable quantity of ginger when you are already feeling, well, iffy.

✽

DizzyStop combines ginger root powder with the supporting ingredient grapeseed extract for maximum efficacy. Grape seed extract is documented to control pain and relieve inflammation and nausea.


The Experience

Before travel or other activity that is known to cause motion sickness, take two DizzyStop capsules.  If you will be traveling extendedly, consider taking the capsules the day before. You can increase the dosage according to the instructions.

These capsules are safe for children (although ginger is not recommended for children under two).

Two tablets are the suggested dose

These soft capsules are very easy to swallow. There is no aftertaste.

If you prefer, empty the contents of the capsule into a drink.

The capsule contents can be taken within a beverage instead of pill form


The capsules are seen below for scale. The curved ends make them easy to swallow.

Capsules to scale with a nickel.

Too much ginger can cause an upset stomach, but I didn’t experience any problems with the ginger tablets.

I find DizzyStop useful for long car rides, especially on winding, bumpy roads.

On the way to Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard, I love the islands but dread the ferry ride because of my seasickness. Next time, I can take the ferry and enjoy the day without having to sleep off a seasickness medicine!

With DizzyStop, you can enjoy the activities you and your family love without nausea or drowsiness.
