Hemp Oil – 4 Pack – All Natural of Hemp Drops – Grown & Made in USA – Natural Hemp Drops by NewAge (5000 (Pack of 4))

So, I’m somewhat new to this. Been suffering with fairly severe arthritic back issues for YEARS – but only when I lay down at night. I have gone through 5 different mattress types, and currently use a Saatva Firm Inner Spring — having given up on some higher-dollar foam and gel options. It worked for a while, but my rheumatologist says I’m just getting old and backaches are here to stay. He prescribed four high-strength Tylenols every day. But my Primary Care Physician hated that answer.

My pain issues are only at night. Once I’m up and moving around, I don’t have too much pain. But working in the yard can exacerbate it. Going to bed has been a dread of mine for four years — because I know what will come. It only takes about ten minutes for me to get “catch your breath” uncomfortable when I move. And it wakes me up about every two hours.

So, after reading about the wonders of CBD Oil for several months, I thought I’d try some. Now, let me cut to the chase: It took awhile for me to learn that Amazon DOES NOT SELL CBD OIL. This product is Hemp Seed Oil — and depending on which article you read online, it’s either useless unless it’s “true CBD Oil”, or it’s “just as effective”.

The results with New Age Hemp Seed Oil in the 1000mg strength were startling and immediate! I slept through most nights. Pain volume was turned way down. In fact, I could do things in bed without pain that I have not been able to do in 10 years. Like roll over, or switch position. Or pull up the covers. Or plump my pillow. Or get out of bed. Or make the bed. ALL of those activities would create intense pain in my middle back, between the shoulder blades. Followed by back spasms that could hurt for hours. Physical therapy has not helped. Oxycontin did not help much. Muscle relaxers made me woozy, but did not alleviate the core pain. Lately, Tylenol and/or Ibuprofen have not helped.

I then decided to try “True CBD Oil” from a respected source online. $160 a bottle for the 1450mg strength, purchased online and shipped from Colorado. Tasted worse. Taste lingered longer. Gave me a slight headache. And — get this — not as good a result as the New Age product! The effect was almost similar — true CBD oil did dial down the pain, but at a 50% stronger solution (supposedly), it wore off much more quickly. I was both dismayed and disappointed. So, today, I reordered more bottles of NewAge to keep in stock and to give away to family members. I figure, I have not much to lose at $12.50 or so a bottle.

Save your money. The “this ain’t true CBD oil” line is a lie — based on my experience (your reactions may vary) — when it comes to trying to maintain that only true CBD oil is effective. Or claiming it is better. Based on my experience — IT’S NOT.

There is ONE review / article I read that made some sense (and most seem like staged articles meant to promote some product): It advised that you start with a lower dosage — say, 250mg — to see what level you need for the best results. Taking more might not DO more. Taking too much can, supposedly, desensitize your body more quickly (like needing more cups of coffee once you get used to coffee to wake up in the morning). I must admit, I have had some feelings of that happening after only three weeks on these products. There may be some truth to it.

Final thought: My Primary Care Physician was whole-heartedly SUPPORTIVE of this concept. He is a younger guy. It surprised me. But he knows how long I’ve had pain issues. Nothing he has tried has helped. Not physical therapy. Few medications. And I cannot take most pain meds, anyway, because of heart issues and my liver (nothing wrong with my liver, but my doctor does not trust a high-dosage routine for any pain meds for very long). Good luck!

It shipped out within hours of ordering and got here in like 2 days! (I’m in Central California for reference.) Everything was packaged well, box wasn’t tampered with, and all 4 oils were in my package, unbroken.

Anywho, this stuff is absolutely amazing for anxiety.

I have SEVERE anxiety that I’ve had half my life (24 now) and have had a long history of severe panic attacks, and I had agoraphobia for almost 3 entire years and didn’t leave the house at all (fully recovered as of August 2019). I cannot drive at all due to my mental health. And I recently started working at a very faced-paced family restaurant that has triggered even more anxiety for me. (I’m self-employed full-time, working from home on top of that.)

I am not and have never been medicated for anxiety, no therapy, nothing. I’ve only ever tried over-the-counter, all-natural stuff, most of which either doesn’t work or only helps a little bit.

I’m not used to working a regular job where I can’t just take breaks whenever I need to for my anxiety. I get horrible nausea and stomach aches in the morning at work. And after about 4 hours of working, I deal with shortness of breath, tension headaches, nausea, light-headedness, muscles in my chest and shoulder blades ache and burn, pressure/tightness in my chest, and numbness/tingling in my legs, all of which are not convenient to experience when working an always-on-my-feet job. Also, at the end of the day before going home, I feel really sick, start panicking a little, get heart palpitations with a pounding heart, feel really hot, dry chalky mouth, etc. from the anxiety plus the strenuous labor.

So, I started taking this hemp oil, and it REALLY helps. In under 5 minutes, it lowers my fast heart rate (usually 85-105 when I have anxiety) down to 70s where it normally is. My palpitations stop. I feel like I can breathe better. My vision, which normally gets blurry with anxiety, becomes clearer. Eye pressure and headaches lessen. The tingling in my legs goes away. I feel more calm and alert, and I notice I walk at a normal pace instead of jamming around like I normally do.

Obviously, the worse my anxiety, the longer it takes for the hemp oil to work, which is completely understandable. I like to take it as my anxiety is starting to build up, not before the anxiety or after the anxiety has reached its peak. I just take the 2 drops that it recommends under the tongue, and it works great. The mint flavor is nice, not too, too strong.

I think for me, having severe anxiety and all, the effects last maybe 3 or 4 hours? Not sure about that yet; I’ve only taken it about 5 different occassions over the past 4 days.

Thanks to this stuff, I don’t feel like I’m dying every single day, and I can come home from my restaurant job and get to work on my other jobs.

I also have costochondritis, and it has definitely helped with that as well.

The best part is, this oil doesn’t make me feel high (as it has no THC) or sleepy. It feels the most natural of everything I have taken for my anxiety and doesn’t feel like I’ve taken anything at all. I just feel normal.

And even better, the price is great for this product, all while being GMO-free, organic, made in the US, only 3 ingredients, etc. Amazing!!!

* Update: I also get really bad cramps in my pelvis area during ovulation and whenever I’m constipated. It’s not severe pain – pretty mild, actually, but it’s very uncomfortable and leaves me a bit cranky. I used one drop of this oil under my tongue, and the pain went away in about 15 minutes. I didn’t even realize how much pain and inflammation my entire body regularly has until I take this oil!
