Is topical CBD effective?
The market is saturated with CBD products, from tinctures to vapes, gummies, beverages, suppositories, pills, and topicals. ENFLEUR would like to spend a moment to share what we know about the viability of topically applied CBD. Getting CBD into the body in a way that the body can actually make use of is a bit […]
Why a quirk about hemp makes rigorous testing essential
The human relationship with hemp is ancient, where some of the oldest evidence of our engagement can be seen in the imprint of hemp cloth on Chinese Neolithic pottery dating back ~12,000 years. Its seeds are used as food, pressed for oil for cooking and heating, and its fiber is woven into rope and textiles, or […]
To THC or not to THC: a reasonable question
ENFLEUR would like to address the topic of THC as it’s found in a full-spectrum CBD product. The stigma against THC has been waning for some time now, particularly in terms of its therapeutic applications, with medical marijuana commonly prescribed to treat symptoms such as pain, nausea, muscle spasms, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, and sleep disorders, […]

CBD dosing: how much, and how often?
One of the most frequent questions we’re asked at ENFLEUR is, “How much CBD should I be taking?” The bad news is that there is no standard dose. The good news is that you get to determine this for yourself, based on the therapeutic benefits you’re looking to achieve. Of course, we’re not in the […]
Study shows mobility improved by CBD for those living with multiple sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis is disease of the central nervous system that affects an estimated 1 million people in the United States. This inflammatory condition is progressive, stripping the protective myelin coating from nerves, which interrupts electrical signaling and leads to hardening of the nerves where myelin is lost. ENFLEUR would like to share a hopeful 2018 study published […]
The Entourage Effect
ENFLEUR would like to share education on the entourage effect, which is the purported benefit of consuming whole-plant cannabinoids above their constituent parts. For our purposes here, the entourage effect refers specifically to plant-derived cannabinoids (or phyto-cannabinoids) that are taken altogether, instead of isolating or excluding particular cannabinoids. A full-spectrum hemp-derived CBD will contain not […]
