The Lupus Foundation of America cites that up to 1.5 million people are living with Lupus and 16,000 new cases are reported every day.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes the body’s immune system to attack its organs and tissues. Lupus is characterized by inflammation, often affecting the joints, kidneys, brain, blood cells, lungs, and the heart. A facial rash also develops, which resembles the wings of a butterfly.

Lupus occurs commonly in women aged 15-44 years old. However, some people are born with lupus genes, which may be triggered by infections, sunlight, and prescription drugs.

Most treatments are designed to reduce organ damage and pain, manage flares, balance hormones, and regulate the immune system activity; not to cure the disease.

Medications used to treat lupus include Cyclosporine, Azathioprine, Belimumab, Hydroxychloroquine, Methotrexate and Prednisone. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include high blood pressure, blood clots in kidneys, abdominal pain, acne, tremors, headaches, diarrhea, rash, fever, muscle aches, liver damage, dizziness, nausea, sore throat, depression, insomnia, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes and hair loss.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects.Studies show that CBD may help alleviate the symptoms of lupus without the harmful side effects of prescribed medications.

CBD runs interference in your central nervous system and the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). CBD pushes things along or out of the way, so those systems can function with balance.

It makes a major contribution to reducing inflammation, improving rest, redeploying hormones, and reducing the absorption of anandamide, the “bliss” molecule.

CBD infused products offer relief from fatigue, pain, and more when used properly as part of a holistic approach to help manage lupus symptoms.  A 3000mg Tincture Oil can be taken sublingually along with 1000mg CBG Gummies to help alleviate the symptoms of lupus.

Always consult with your primary care physician before starting a new treatment.
