I’m a lifelong runner – morning runs and marathons and everything – it’s my way to decompress and let my mind wander. But like most other lifelong runners, it’s come with its fair share of pain management. When I turned 50 a few years back, the chronic pain really set in and became something I couldn’t keep ignoring. I tried everything I could think of to combat muscle and joint fatigue and my lower back pain. I went to acupuncture and yoga, which helped, but didn’t give me the relief I wanted. I was talking to my daughter about this because she always knows about the latest products that actually work. She told me she started using Sagely Naturals for her headaches and said it’s helped her tremendously for pain relief, so I decided to give it a try.

Sagely Naturalsis a natural health & wellness company specializing in products formulated with CBD extract, a plant compound found in hemp. I was immediately fascinated because what we called “hemp” back in my day was something totally different. My daughter explained how CBD can be found in hemp, as well as other plants like broccoli and kale and is a natural, non-psychoactive compound. Unlike pain meds that often only serve as a band-aid by keeping cells from producing a chemical signifying to your brain that you’re in pain, CBD works completely differently. CBD helps to address the underlying causes of many physical and mental health issues, working directly at the site of the irritated nerve receptors instead of simply masking the pain.

CBD has been gaining popularity in recent years because of its positive benefits that help with a wide range of things like stress relief, reduction of joint pain, and its calming effects. I was interested in something that could help with pain, so I had three options for Relief & Recovery- a cream, a roll-on, and a spray. The Relief & Recovery line contains full-spectrum CBD extract from US-farmed hemp, essential oils, and cooling menthol, and all formulas were created by PhD chemists, so I knew I was getting quality ingredients.

I ordered the cream and the spray so I could try different applications. The first thing I noticed was the scent, and how delicious both of them smelled. I rubbed the lotion all over my legs- my ankles are the worst- and let it soak in. As soon as I applied the lotion, I could feel the soothing menthol taking effect and begin cooling my achy muscles. I’ve started to carry the spray with me for on-the-go needs and it’s nice to know I always have it on hand. Not only is the relief noticeable when I use either the lotion and spray, but I’ve also noticed a difference with my muscle fatigue and overall pain.

Turns out, my daughter was spot-on with her recommendation, and I’ve become a CBD fanatic. Since first trying Sagely Naturals, I’ve bought a couple more things that I absolutely love. I’ve been using the Tranquility roll-on for its calming effects. Packed with CBD like the rest, Tranquility helps reduce feelings of stress and encourages relaxation with lavender, chamomile, and bergamot essential oils. Thanks to Sagely Naturals and CBD, I have found much relief after years of pain!
