Managing Fibromyalgia with Synerva CBD Oils

AD | Managing Fibromyalgia with Synerva CBD Oils

Having Fibromyalgia SUCKS. Flare ups sucks, swelling because I’m sore sucks and the general daily management of it can also suck. But, I’ve found that it doesn’t all have to be doom and gloom. Not when there’s products like CBD on the market that can help me be in control of how I manage my symptoms.

With the likes of CBD products being more readily available now and there being such a wide range of products from skincare to supplements, it’s never been easier to incorporate it into your routine. That’s where Synerva CBD Oils comes in.

The Products

As my main goal is to find products that I can incorporate into my everyday life to help manage my Fibromyalgia, Synerva kindly sent me a couple of products to try out that were specially picked to help with my symptoms and so I can see first hand what their products are like.

I was given their Muscle Recovery CBD Body and Massage Oil plus their 10% 1000mg CBD Oil. I was over the moon to not only be trying some CBD Oil which goes under the tongue but also a massage oil with CBD in it.

First Impressions

Upon receiving both products I was itching to get stuck right in and put this power duo to the test. How would the massage oil measure up? Would it be “all that”? And what about the CBD Oil, would it indeed help or be a complete flop?

The first look at the packaging had my eyes wide open. Not only do they look modern and sleek, they also pack in a whole host of information without overwhelming the eyes. It’s clear from the outset that you don’t have to second guess what you’re using as it’s right there without looking overloaded with text.

So, from first impressions of just looking at the packaging had me intrigued. Now to find out how they  perform.

Synerva CBD Oils 10% 1000mg CBD Oil 10ml bottle

With my fibromyalgia and other health issues, I find the restrictions of my medication really frustrating, especially when there is nothing I can do when I am in a massive flare up. It’s not like I can just take a few extra pills. I mean, I could, but that would be irresponsible and definitely not safe. Not to mention the fact I HATE having to take pills.

So, with CBD oil in my life, it helps me feel like I’m ACTUALLY in control of my own management of my conditions. It’s easy to use, I can decide on what works best for me and I don’t feel restricted at all.

Directions for How to use the CBD Oil

Having used CBD drop before I was fairly familiar with the process on how to use them so I felt quite confident in using the Synerva CBD oil.

The directions for the 10% 1000mg one is to take two drops in the morning and two drops in the evening to start out with. If you feel like the desired effect isn’t being hit, then you can increase them but it’s always best to work your way up to find what works best for you. The recommended starting dose is 20mg CBD a day, for two weeks for this bottle.

One drop of the 10% 1000mg CBD oil contains 5mg of CBD, so two drops in the morning is 10mg and then at night two drops is 10mg, which is where the 20mg a day comes from. You drop the oil under your tongue and hold it there for 60 seconds. This is the most effective way to get the CBD into your bloodstream by absorbing sublingually directly into your bloodstream.

How I used the Synerva CBD Oil

For the first week I was following the recommended dose of two drops in the morning and two drops in the evening and I did feel like it was taking the edge off, especially at night. I did however start to notice that I wasn’t getting as much relief as I had hoped come week two so I tweaked how I was using the drops.

In the mornings I still took two, but sometimes I would take one as I wasn’t as sore or in need of a calming effect, not like I was needed at night anyway. When it came to night time though I started to take three to four drops depending on my pain levels as I have been in a flare up the past few weeks.

I found just tweaking it a little helped so much, I noticed that the perfect dose for me would be around 4 drops of the 10% 1000mg oil while in a flare up. When I was in a flare up, the two drops were working well, I felt calm and it helped me relax for sleep.

How theSynerva CBD Oil worked for me

As I said above, I had to adjust the dose to suit my needs which was easy to do. Being able to use it on my terms, how I want, feels like I am in complete control which I like.

Using the CBD oil was straight forward and I genuinely enjoyed adding this Synerva CBD oil into my routine. In the morning it helped to take the edge off that stiffness and helped me start my day a little calmer which was SO needed, especially over the past few weeks. I always like to give every product I am testing my full attention and put them through the ringer to have a full picture of how it works.

So, going through flare ups, some family emergencies and high anxiety lately was sort of a good thing? I wouldn’t normally say that, but for testing the CBD oil it all came at the right time. Now, don’t mistake me for saying I’m glad I was going through these things because I’m not, I’m just simply saying that for testing the CBD oil, it was a good test to put it through.

The Benefits

As I was able to put the CBD to the test with multiple things going in my life, I got to see just how much these worked for me. At night they helped me calm down enough to fall asleep compared to the nights I didn’t use them. I noticed my heart rate wasn’t spiking as much and anxiety was kept at bay long enough for me to fall asleep without feeling like doom was impending.

Not only did the CBD oil help me fall asleep and calm my anxiety, it also helped with my pain. Now, it didn’t eradicate the pain, but it took the edge off. I found that I wasn’t crying as much with my leg pain in the flare up. As much as I was frustrated with my flare up, I wasn’t in EXCRUCIATING pain.

I really did find this CBD oil beneficial, for both my pain and anxiety. Plus, it didn’t taste horrible either, it was quite earthy but unlike some others I have tried, I didn’t want to spit it out straight away and I didn’t need juice after the minute was up.

Synerva CBD Oils Muscle Recovery CBD Body & Massage Oil

I’ve never used a body or massage oil infused with CBD so I really had no idea how this would work. I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical just because I was unsure of how a body oil with CBD in it could actually benefit me.

With just reading the bottle I was very intrigued, here’s what the description on it says –

“A powerful fusion of pure essential oils and rich carrier oil, designed to ease overworked joints ad comfort tired & aching muscles whilst promoting positive circulation. An everyday warming and invigorating blend, great for anyone who suffers from muscle stiffness and everyday aches and pains, maybe owing to sports activity, over-exertion, or even age.”

Just from the description my interest peaked as I do suffer from sore joints, especially in my legs. I couldn’t wait to put this oil to the test and see just what benefits it could bring into my life.

How to use the Muscle Recovery CBD Body & Massage Oil

Synerva CBD Oils recommend using this oil as a massage oil when you need relief or after your shower/bath by massaging it into your skin to help melt away those everyday aches and pains. It’s really simple, just like any other oil you would use on your skin but I do get the feeling that massaging it as you apply works best as you are also giving yourself time to relax.

Having that time for you to relax and partake in some pampering self-care is a must! I talk about self-care quite regularly and I think this body and massage oil is perfect to incorporate into your life.

How theMuscle Recovery CBD Body & Massage Oil worked for me

As I said above, I was a little skeptical because I’ve never used a CBD infused product like this before. But, I am happy to report that my mind has been completely changed and I am LOVING having this oil as part of my nightly self-care routine. Well, every other night routine.

Now, you probably don’t need to use this nightly or every other night, especially if you are using it for aches and pains caused by sports or vigorous activity. But, I have found it helps with those leg pains I get due to my fibromyalgia and using it every other night has helped relax me that bit more.

I think the activity of giving myself a massage and taking 15 minutes out to focus solely on me paired with this oil has been a much needed change to how I have been looking after myself. I also really like the scent of the oil, it’s not overpowering but it gives a lovely aroma that also adds to that relaxing feeling.

The Consistency

Like any other oil, it’s, well, oily. It spreads well, you don’t need to use a lot and a little really does go a long way. It took a few tries to find out how much was enough for me to use and I found that about a 50p size amount is enough for both my legs.

The only thing that’s a little “annoying” is that it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to fully absorb into the skin after the massage. So keeping this oil for night time or when you don’t have a lot to do is probably best. I wear shorts at night so I don’t feel like it’s a deal breaker for me but I just wanted to note that it can take a bit to fully sink in without feeling “sticky”.

Saying that though, the oil doesn’t transfer easily. I lay on my bed while I wait for it to absorb and I’ve never had any of the oil go on my bed from my legs.

The Benefits of theMuscle Recovery CBD Body & Massage Oil

Not only does this oil work great for taking some time for you and allowing you to relax for a bit, it also has some great benefits! CBD is a great anti-inflammatory and antioxidant for your skin. It’s also moisturising and not only does it help to improve aches and pains in your muscles, it helps to speed up muscle recovery.

Plus I have found that this oil has been leaving my skin feeling SUPER smooth. It’s like covering my legs in silk which is lovely.

Other benefits of CBD massage oil are:

• Reducing anxiety and stress
• Stimulates senses
• Improves skin conditions
• Reduces tensions
