A little while back, I reviewed CTW hemp oil and how it was a part of my morning routine, but I wanted to share with you my experience with their Pain Cream and how I’ve made it a part of my nighttime routine.
Some of you may know this, but I was diagnosed with arthritis in high school after my knee kept dislocating. Originally the doctors said this was related to having Lyme Disease in middle school (and that very well could be part of it). However, my doctor told me a couple years ago that there may be something more: ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) may contribute to the development of inflammatory disease. My arthritis did not start until after Candace died – an obviously traumatic event in my childhood. Whatever the case may be, I sometimes find myself achey with my joints popping uncomfortably. I also hold my stress in my shoulders, neck, and lower back.
I do the best with routine. Around 8PM every night (every normal night where I just go home after work), I stop what I’m doing, put on a face mask, tidy up my apartment and get ready for the next morning. I get my bed turned down, and take a hot shower. I always moisturize after a shower, but I’ve been using CTW Pain Cream mixed with lavender oil instead of a regular lotion. Especially on days where I’m running around the office, this had become a super soothing ritual for myself. (And the lotion is also great for cramps, ladies.)
Personally, I think the smell is nice on its own, although it does have a bit of an icy-hot feel/smell to it, but the lavender oil takes it up a notch and that smell is always so calming to me. I recommend grace & stella Lavender Essential Oil. The first time I used this combo, I could literally feel my body calming down.
What does your bedtime routine look like?
