This month, CannaBama will open a new location in West Mobile at 2090 Schillinger Road South, Suite K. Like their downtown location, they plan to stock over 100 CBD products—both full spectrum and THC-free—including oral supplements, topical products, pure CBD vape options, edibles, water, lotions, bath bombs and pet products. Owner Jennifer Boozer also hosts Sweet Home CannaBama, a weekly radio show on FM Talk 106.5 on Mondays at 7 p.m. The show, described as “your home for all things cannabis in Alabama”, is available as a podcast anytime at SweetHomeCannaBama.com. Questions for the show can be submitted on the podcast’s website as well. Each month CannaBama offers 15 percent off their brand of the month and interviews people from that company on Sweet Home CannaBama. “This allows our listeners to learn more about the people that make the products we love,” says Boozer. October’s brand of the month is Healthworx’s VapeNTerps. Tune in at 7 p.m., October 7 to learn more. For more information, call 251-255-5155 or visit CannaBama.com. See ad, page 29.
Fight MRSA With Herbal Extracts In a Brazilian study published in the Journal of Herbal Medicine, extracts of rosemary leaves and pomegranate peels, along with a South African herb known as misty plume bush, significantly reduced the ability of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria to grow and spread in the laboratory, a finding that may help develop new strategies against the superbug.
The common kitchen herb rosemary holds promise for insomniacs. Iranian researchers tested 68 university students for a month, giving them either 1,000 milligrams of rosemary herb each day or a placebo. Those that took the rosemary herbal supplement had improved memory, reduced anxiety and less depression at the end of the month. Using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory scale, those taking the rosemary slept better, as well.
Consider Motherwort to Reduce Postpartum Bleeding A meta-review of 37 studies that included 7,887 mothers giving birth found that an injection of oriental motherwort (Leonurus japonicus), a Traditional Chinese Medicine herb used for thousands of years, decreased blood loss and other adverse events during birth at a minimal cost with few side effects.
