Have you ever been so desperate for your medicine or therapy to work that you place all your eggs in one basket? We all have! You might be thinking, “I hope this pill cures my insomnia,” or “this oil better take away my chronic pain!” Often times we put so much hope, confidence and faith in a single mechanism, when we should really be including multiple tools to “fix” our system. That is why we created this comprehensive infographic to help our clients understand our Wellness Tool Kit; it is a comprehensive set of tools that are vital to maintaining and managing your health. Even though Realm of Caring’s primary expertise is cannabinoid therapy, we want to acknowledge the multiple assets that can support a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. The tool kit is an important reminder that cannabinoid therapy alone is not a silver bullet, meaning cannabis on its own may not be the magical solution to your problem. Healthy diet, sleep, exercise, and water are just a few of the other tools in your kit that can help you achieve your goals.
Why is cannabinoid therapy a powerful tool in your tool kit?
This plant packs one powerful punch! With more than 500 different components that carry potential therapeutic qualities, this plant can affect several targeted areas in the body. A recent review titled, Cannabis for Medical Use: Versatile Plant Rather Than a Single Drug, points out that the plant can treat multiple conditions throughout the body. With so many phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids working together with your body’s endocannabinoid system, cannabis is a multi-faceted fixer. The plant helps the endocannabinoid system modulate and regulate many processes in the body like pain, digestion, coordination and neural development.
How will you measure the success of your tools?
There are several health apps and online tools that can help you track everything you are doing in order to achieve your goals. Even a notebook will suffice; Dr. Gail Matthews led a study on goal-setting that found participants were 42% more likely to achieve their goals if they wrote them down daily. Incorporating your tools into your goal setting is a great way to ensure that you are using multiple strategies and not just relying on one method to fix your problem. Another way to track your progress is participating in the Realm of Caring’s Observational Research Registry (ORR). This online survey examines the health effects of medicinal cannabis use and is open to anyone in the world with internet access. If you choose to participate, you will be asked questions about your use of cannabis/hemp products, other medications, and general health.
