COMMON QUERIES
WHAT IS CBD?
Cannabidiol(CBD)- One of the most studied compounds of over 116 known cannabinoids found in hemp. Mortal Elixir products use hemp derived CBD as it can comprise up to 40 percent of the hemp plant. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating, meaning, it will not get you high. The list of uses for CBD continue to rise, giving more and more hope to those seeking to enhance their overall quality of life.
IS CBD LEGAL?
The 2014 federal Farm Bill granted state governments the legal right to grow and research industrial hemp through state-regulated agriculture and pilot programs. It also classified hemp and hemp-derived products with less than 0.3 percent THC separate from marijuana cannabis. With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, the growth, production, and manufacturing of hemp became federally legalized – allowing hemp-derived products, such as CBD oil, to become more readily available. Hemp is grown to have low THC (industrial hemp has 0.3 percent and is therefore federally legal). Congress' decision in 2014 legally allowed the cultivation of industrial hemp through state-regulated agriculture departments for hemp management and research; their most recent ruling in 2018 removes industrial hemp from the federal Controlled Substance List as a Schedule I drug, and it allows for a hemp market and sales through state borders. Regarding federal law, CBD oil products from hemp containing less than 0.3 percent are legal to purchase, sell, and consume throughout the United States.

WILL CBD TOPICALS GET ME HIGH?
No. There are two main reasons why it wont. CBD is not psychoactive in the way that THC is, meaning it won’t give you a feeling of being “high.” Second, even if there are traces of THC in your Remedy Bar, topicals rubbed into the skin don’t make it all the way down to the bloodstream. Think of it this way: have you ever used a lotion or hand sanitizer with alcohol? Did you get drunk? No.
CAN I OVERDOSE ON CBD?
Studies show CBD to be one of the safest substances with no known level of toxicity, making it virtually impossible to overdose. The amount of CBD absorbed through topical application is relatively low.You should feel confident in using as much topical CBD as you like. That said, you should always start any new skin care routine by using a small amount at first to make sure there are no adverse effects. Start small and work your way up. Mortal Elixir CBD infused products have higher than some, less than others - we've found a happy medium for everyone to feel relief and confidence, while maintaining peace of mind using our products.
WILL CBD CURE ALL MY AILMENTS?
I want to be clear up front that CBD is not a magical substance that will fix everything wrong with you. To imply that is unethical. CBD along with the other specifically chosen ingredients in Mortal Elixir products does seem to have some pretty exciting effects. Even though the science on CBD is still in relatively early phases, there is scientific proof that it can do remarkable things for our bodies. In my personal research for pain treatments and relief, I knew my body couldn't hold up to all of the chemicals doctors were writing me up for. This has been such a sigh of relief knowing I have healthy alternatives to the chemicals that confuse and breakdown my body.
CAN CBD HELP MY PAIN?
Hunched over a desk all day? Behind the wheel of a car for hours at a time? Muscle tightness after the gym? As a hairdresser, I was on my feet running ragged 8 hours a day., then home to be a single mother of 4. These are recipes for serious aches and pains. Topical CBD almost seemed too good to be true.The endocannabinoids in your body naturally help regulate the sensation of pain that you feel. CBD elevates the number of pain-fighting cannabinoids in your system. A lot of pain is the result of inflammation of some sort or another. CBD is a proven anti-inflammatory. This is particularly good news for those suffering from inflammatory conditions like arthritis and those with acute soreness caused by tissue damage during exercise. CBD is highly recommended for those suffering with any of these conditions or those similar.

Multiple sclerosis

CAN CBD HELP MY SKIN?
CBD has strong anti-inflammatory properties. Absorbing it directly into the site of the inflammation is a no brainer. Packing the CBD in a balm or lotion that carries with it, other ingredients with skin-healthy properties, is a win-win! Some researchers have found that CBD can treat or prevent the most dreaded skin condition known to teenagers everywhere: acne. When CBD is absorbed into the skin, it tends to inhibit lipid synthesis, limiting the amount of sebum your skin produces. In other words, it prevents your skin from overproducing the oils that clog your pores and ruin your selfies. Research is just starting in these areas, but CBD looks like a fantastic way to tackle some of the more common and annoying problems that pop up on the body’s largest organ. Proper dosing and consulting with a CBD/skincare professional is recommended. Mortal Elixir was created by a 26 year cosmetology educator and ingredient specialist.

Red, puffy, or inflamed skin
