This year alone, the Coronavirus has infected over 115,000 people worldwide and the flu has killed over 14,000 people in America alone. This should not prompt you to panic. It should, however, get you thinking about how you can protect yourself. At SUPA Naturals, we want to arm you with top of the line defense, CBD sanitizer.

Why Sanitizer?

According to the CDC, clean hands save lives. With illness running impetuously around the world, people are being advised not to travel and to stay out of crowded areas. Though this sounds great in theory, for many Americans, life must go on.

We need to work, shop for groceries, and send our children to school, at the bare minimum. Plus, how long can we hide from a villain we cannot see?

If you do not want to run through your local grocery store and clean the shelves to prepare yourself for a lock-in at home, simply keep your hands clean. Wash your hands consistently throughout the day to keep disease-causing germs from infecting you and to stop spreading them to others.

During a busy day, you may not make it to the sink as often as you want, so keep yourself armed with hand sanitizer! Regular alcohol-based sanitizer kills about 99.9% of germs.

This stuff is convenient, safe, and effective! Using it may literally save your life.

How Does CBD Play a Role?

CBD oil continues to gain clout as an antimicrobial agent as we learn more about this amazing compound. It shows the potential for fighting bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. In fact, it shows so much promise in fighting bacterial infections that scientists mention the attempt to create an antibiotic for superbugs with it.

Both the flu and Coronavirus, arise from viral agents. CBD’s first role in protecting against these illnesses comes from potentially protecting you from bacterial and fungal infections.

When you get sick, your immune system will focus energy on a specific organism, weakening normal defenses. This leaves you vulnerable to contracting other infections that CBD may help prevent.

Viruses work a little differently than other types of infections. These non-living organisms lack either DNA or RNA, which they seek from their host cell.

Upon entering the body, they hijack host cells and rewire them to work to their benefit, which in turn, works against the hosts’ natural processes. They may also use the cells’ natural replication process to reproduce.

Research suggests, though CBD obviously cannot kill a non-living organism, it may carry the potential to inhibit it. While this study looks at the promising mechanism of CBD suppressing the Ca2+-dependent enzyme through its anti-inflammatory response, others continue to discover different ways in which this cannabinoid may work to hinder viral infections.

CBD sanitizer may help indirectly as well. This cannabinoid attaches to CB2 receptors throughout the immune system, even when applied to the skin, and may play a role in strengthening overall immunity.

As a bonus, adding CBD into your hand sanitizer might keep your hands feeling more silky smooth. Alcohol severely dries out the skin, but CBD regulates sebum production, which helps lubricate and prevent chapping.

How to Make CBD Sanitizer

Across America, you will notice hand sanitizer rapidly selling out of stores. Do not worry, we can teach you to make your own clean machine that you will love!

The CDC recommends that you only use a hand sanitizer that consists of 60% alcohol or more. Anything less may not protect you, and our recipe meets this standard without pruning your hands!

Add:

1 1/4 Cups of pure rubbing alcohol
¾ Cups of 100% aloe vera gel
6 full droppers of SUPA Naturals 500mg Full Spectrum CBD Oil
A few drops of your favorite scented essential oil

Suggested essential oil scents, if you want to potentially enhance the antimicrobial properties include tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, rosemary oil, and cinnamon leaf oil. But, your CBD sanitizer offers enough protection that you can choose any scent you desire with peace of mind. But, keep to the recipe to stay mindful of the ratios that help protect you.

Protect Yourself

Across the globe, we see people in a panic trying to protect themselves from falling ill from a new virus and stronger strains of influenza. While mass hysteria will not solve this problem, CBD sanitizer may help while scientists work towards a more permanent solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a CBD sanitizer?

Mix 1 ¼ cups of rubbing alcohol with ¾ cup of aloe vera. Add 6 droppers full of our full-spectrum oil and a few drops of essential oil like lemon, rosemary, or pine. Any essential oil that you like will work. Finally, stir until thoroughly combined and decant into a bottle or jar for use.

Is CBD a natural antibacterial?

Research indicates that it may be. While we need more scientific trials to confirm the antibacterial properties of CBD, the evidence so far looks promising. It also seems as though the compound might have anti-fungal properties. So while CBD won’t stop a virus, it may prevent secondary infections due to contracting COVID-19.

What does CBD in hand sanitizer do?

CBD in a hand sanitizer may offset some of the drying effects of the alcohol because it regulates sebum production. It may also act as an effective antibacterial and antimicrobial agent, helping your immune system cope with infection. Finally, preliminary research shows that CBD might inhibit the spread of a virus.
