Self-care comes in many forms and is going to mean different things for everyone, but it is so important to carve out that time to be your best self! We all have long days, and sometimes those days turn into longer weeks. How we deal with life’s ups and downs is going to be unique to each of us. The Root of It All™ is on a quest to help others discover a life rooted in wellness no matter what life throws at you and we do so by creating products formulated for everyday conditions. Whether you’re feeling stressed, run down, or those nagging joints and muscles are giving you trouble, The Root of It All™ is here for you.

Look we get it; everyday life comes with stress and sometimes those stresses can pile up and feel like a burden. That’s where our new product EASE for stress relief comes in handy (only available in California). EASE utilizes a 10:1 ratio of CBD to THC to help you quiet the noise. This essential oil blend is formulated with a powerful Ayurvedic blend of lemongrass, bergamot, and ylang ylang. These ingredients are all known to calm restlessness, promote comfort and a quiet mind. So, if you are looking to release your worries, leave you stress behind and escape to a state of tranquility with EASE.

Sometimes all you need is a mountain, snow, and something to shred with to get back to your natural self. Whether you’re skiing, boarding, hiking or just being active, making time to enjoy what you love doing most is a priority we can all agree on. Self-care can come in many forms, however, at times an active type of self-care can leave your body sore and aching. Look no further than REWIND for restoration, our essential ointment designed to ensure fast, localized relief every time. REWIND boasts a soothing Ayurvedic blend of turmeric, black pepper, and cloves. We selected each of these ingredients for their restorative and relieving properties. So, when those lingering pains pop back up, reach for the natural option and restore your body with REWIND.

No matter what self-care means to you, no matter how you go about it, we can all agree that making some ME time is important to our well-being.

Ayurveda is literally everywhere these days! So what is this “Ayurveda” all about? Is it skincare? Food? Powerful Plant based remedies? A Wellness mindset? Movement? Trend? Or a little of all of these?

Let’s Define What Ayurveda Is –

Thousands of years ago, before modern medicine and peer-reviewed journals, a holistic form of wellness developed in India. It was called “Ayurveda” – defined as a system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. Globalized and modernized practices derived from Ayurveda traditions are a type of complementary or alternative medicine. (Source: Wikipedia)

However, taking a closer look at this ancient and traditional approach you may find that Ayurveda is more than a mere system of treating illness, Ayurveda is a science of life (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge). It offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vibrant and healthy while realizing their full human potential. (Source: Chopra.com)

Lost? Let’s break it down simply – It can be understood in 3 easy principles;

  1. Health and wellness are a balance of mind and body,
  2. Each person is different, and
  3. Our environment has profound impacts on our health.

Ayurveda names three elemental substances, the doshas (called Vata, Pitta and Kapha), and states that a balance of the doshas results in health, while imbalance results in disease. 

One Ayurvedic view is that the doshas are balanced when they are equal to each other, while another view is that each human possesses a unique combination of the doshas which define this person’s temperament and characteristics. Good example of this is Meditation – a common practice in the Ayurveda System used to calm one’s mind and body, balancing one’s temperament and characteristics. Scientific researchers have shown in clinical settings that mindfulness meditation can reduce both anxiety and depression, as well as pain. The best example of how powerful meditation can be was recently found in the story of the Thai Cave Rescue – where a coach used Buddhist meditation to keep 12 Thai boys alive and calm, while trapped in a cave for more than 10 days with limited food or water before they were finally discovered and rescued.

In both cases – Ayurveda says that each person should modulate their behavior or environment to increase or decrease the doshas and maintain their natural state hence reaping good health and fighting off imbalances which lead to fear, distress, or even disease in one’s body.

So Ayurvedic Remedies Come From the Earth? YES.

Plant-based treatments are often used in Ayurveda to achieve such balance in the mind and body. These plants can may be derived from roots, leaves, fruits, bark, or seeds such as cardamom and cinnamon. Ayurvedic herbs are used for many reasons: to maintain overall health; to boost immunity; support mental clarity and focus; to calm the nerves; to improve digestion; to protect the body from toxins and support the detoxification process; and to support innate healing processes. According to Holistic Primary Care, there’s an idea in Ayurveda that, “What heals, also prevents.” Herbs effective in treating specific conditions can also serve as a “food,” providing targeted nourishment to specific physiological systems and processes. For example, Turmeric (Curcuma longa), popularized for its anti-inflammatory properties, can also be eaten as a culinary spice by people looking to proactively prevent disease and maintain good health.

MODERN AYURVEDA IS HERE.

Today, Ayurveda—known as a complementary health approach in the United States—is thought to be one of the world’s oldest medicinal systems. And many of its broader teachings (the importance of a healthy diet, the power of deep sleep and meditation, tuning in to the body’s natural rhythm) are just starting to be supported by those peer-reviewed journals and modern-day doctors.

In October of 2017, the Nobel Prize went to scientists studying circadian rhythm, discovering how “plants, animals, and humans adapt their biological rhythm so that it is synchronized with the Earth’s revolutions.” True practitioners of Ayurveda benefit from understanding the balance of their doshas (or energies that make us up) and zero in on specific teachings of the health system which include powerful plant based remedies utilizing Ayurvedic herbs.

WHY AYURVEDA?
Modern medicine is a miracle and there’s no denying the effectiveness it has in treating some of the world’s worst diseases. However, today many drugs used in modern medicine are powerful and quite often, the risks with these drugs are also 
very high. For some – it’s TOO high. Why? Well, you really don’t know how your body will respond to the drug till you take it. Sometimes side effects such as grogginess can make it difficult for you to carry out your daily activities or you may experience more adverse effects. What’s great about Ayurveda approaches is that it addresses the huge diversity among patients, taking into account unique individual habits, metabolism and personality types. Since the ingredients used are herbal and plant-based type remedies, not only are your chances of side effects reduced, but the ingredients often have added benefits that improve your overall health. As a result, in terms of treatment, you get remedies that are more suited to the individual needs of your body and everyday condition you may be suffering from. It’s truly an alternative to modern medicine, and it’s starting to trend again…

The Root of It All – Summer Essentials

Root of It All Summer Essentials

Summer is almost upon us, and it’s important to seize the opportunity to appreciate all the natural world around us has to offer. As huge proponents of naturally derived products, we value nothing higher than the beauty provided by nature. What’s most amazing about nature is that its beauty often serves a purpose beyond simple admiration. Some of the most beautifully aromatic and flavorful herbs are wonderfully beneficial for physical and mental wellness. Here are some tips about how best to use The Root of It All™ naturally derived summer essentials to enhance your experience this year.

Find Energy – GO

Summer is a time for hikes and bikes. It’s a time to get out of the house, and out of your comfort zone. That takes energy, and we’ve got you covered. Our sublingual oil GO can lift you throughout the day.

GO’s energizing scent is the first thing you’ll notice when you twist off the bottle cap. Rosemary, Cardamom and Ginger work in tandem with 90mg of THC to bring about a clearheaded purposefulness from the first whiff. Each ayurvedic herb in this blend act as digestive aids, which helps keep your body loose and limber and ready to take on the day, and the pure THC oil leaves you feeling composed and ready to take on any challenge.

For a long hike up to McHenry’s Peak or a quick walk through Denver’s Botanical Gardens, GO is a must have if you want to naturally enhance an active summer.

Find Relief – REWIND

An active summer can leave you sore, and that’s a good thing. But sometimes you want to get back and at it just as hard the next day. This is where our Essential Ointment REWIND comes into play.

REWIND’s soothing warmth can only be challenged by the summer sun itself. Black Pepper, Turmeric and Clove work with 135mg of CBD and 45mg of THC for fast, localized relief that smells like heaven. When your muscles ache after a long climb, this natural herbal blend penetrates deep to bring you back to your feet.

Summer won’t wait up for you, so it’s best if you’re ready to take it on each day. REWIND is a natural way to be prepared for each new day.Naturally derived summer essentials

Find Peace – SLOW

Life is about the journey, but sometimes there’s a destination that’s just too beautiful to pass up. When you find yourself on the banks of a placid lake or staring at a beautiful open meadow it’s time to take it SLOW and appreciate the work of nature.

SLOW can bring you a sense of calm that puts you in tune with the beauty you see all around you. A cooling combination of Basil, Orange and Fennel essential oils join 90mg of THC and CBD to help you find the clarity of mind to truly appreciate the wonders of mother nature. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You know it when you see it. And when you finally come across it, it’s best to take the time to enjoy it.

With you nose in a book or your eyes to the sky, SLOW can help you take time to remember those special moments this summer.

Find Rejuvenation – STOP

Frankly, a fulfilling summer day should make you feel exhausted. But you can’t wear yourself too thin. A good night’s rest is essential to having a fulfilling summer. Our STOP blend is specifically aimed at lulling you into a deeply rejuvenating slumber.

A summer day can be intensely stimulating, so sometimes it can be difficult to turn off at the end of the day. Our STOP blend puts the classic soothing herbs Lavender, Chamomile and Valerian Root together with 90mg of THC and 30mg of CBD to naturally aid your body in finding healthy and continuous sleep.

The end of a good day is the start of another, and STOP is the key to both. Make summer nights work for you, so that you can fully enjoy whatever tomorrow brings.

The Root of It All™ Launches in Colorado!

cannabis infused oils and ointments

Denver, CO – Colorado is a trendsetter in the cannabis and health markets, and the newest cannabis products to hit dispensary shelves are the highly anticipated cannabis-infused essential oils and ointments by TR Concentrates.

Consumers can Go, Slow, and Stop with a trifecta of Ayurvedic sublingual oils that employ the time-tested benefits of herbs such as Ginger, Lavender, and Basil, delivering nourishment that the body needs throughout the day. Consumers seeking an alternative to edibles will enjoy The Root of it All™’s cannabis-infused ointment ​ REWIND, consumed by simply rubbing the healing ointment directly onto the skin.

Tom Regan, of TR Concentrates, is passionate about how the company is revolutionizing the infused-oil sector. “We have evolved the tincture; we have developed a product line of healthy, holistic oils that work naturally with the body’s endocannabinoid system.”

This isn’t your grandmother’s tincture. In fact, it’s not a tincture at all.

The Root of it All™’s cannabis-infused essential oils are taken sub-lingually, that is, under the tongue. Discreet and easy to throw in your gym bag or purse, at 3mg a dose —consumers won’t have to worry about the buzz interfering with their day.

Impressively, there is no overpowering cannabis taste, only a harmonious melody of flavor left behind by the soothing assortment of natural ingredients.

The Root Of It All™’s three strain-specific formulas deliver targeted results for the everyday, active person: ​

GO is for energizing​; it uses cannabis sativa with a high THC content. In conjunction with Cardamom, Ginger, and Rosemary, GO delivers a boost. The Ayurvedic herbs are known to promote warmth, strength, and endurance. ​

SLOW is for calming​; made with a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD, it’s designed to relax both your body and mind. A herbal blend of Basil, Fennel, and Orange provide a cooling sensation, detoxing effects, and mental clarity.

STOP is for sleeping​; specially crafted for those who want to ease into a healthy sleep after an active day. The 3:1 THC to CBD ratio is designed to promote a restful night’s sleep. In addition, the infused Chamomile, Lavender, and Valerian Root are known to foster calming of the nerves.

These oils also pair well with The Root of it All​™’s cannabis-infused REWIND ointment, made with a 1:3 ratio of proprietary THC and CBD cannabis extracts. The CBD-rich approach to a cannabis-infused topical brings fast, localized relief. Augmented with Turmeric, Black Pepper, and Cloves, the cannabis extracts work well with these natural agents to soothe and comfort muscles and joints.

In development for close to a year, The Root of it All™​ flavor profiles were created by a team of researchers and engineers from a leading flavoring company in the US, and each product combines the most current THC and food science available.

“Our lipid-based formulas quickly penetrate the areas inside the mouth and your skin membranes to enter your vascular system,” explains Regan. “By bypassing the first-pass metabolism they enter the body’s blood circulation and get dispersed more rapidly.”

A promise of all-natural, non-synthetic chemicals from the company means the orange flavor is actually from all-natural orange terpenes.

The Root of it All™​ is the company to watch in the cannabis oils category, as they have created products that support an active, healthy, and mindful lifestyle.

The Root of it All™​ products are currently available in select stores around the Denver metro area. To learn more about this unique line of products, please contact sales@greenrushnetwork.com or call 720-593-8420.

 

Why We Value Ayurveda

Brown glass bottles surrounded by herbs

Ayurveda

Your Body Asks. Nature Answers.


Millions of people around the world use cannabis every day to promote health and wellness. As a natural herb, its unique chemical construction offers incredible potential. Here at The Root of It All™, we recognize that potential, but we also understand that cannabis does not stand alone as a natural remedy. Our products combine cannabis-extracts with blends of Ayurvedic essential oils because we know that the natural-world has much to offer.

Ayurvedic remedies have played a role in physical and emotional wellness for thousands of years, and today herbal essential oils still offer practical benefits. Essential oils are potent distillates of plant matter that amplify the natural qualities of the plant. They’re intensely aromatic and flavorful, but more importantly, they effectively promote physical and emotional wellness. Herbal remedies are known to be effective in areas such as enhancing mood, improving digestive health and soothing muscles and joints.

But Ayurveda is not just about using herbal products, it’s also a philosophy of life. A basic tenant of Ayurveda is balance, because a balanced approach to life is thought to be the ultimate preventative medicine. This balanced approach should also be taken in regards to the consumption of modern medicine. Our products seek to strike this balance.

The Root of It All™ essential oil products aid the body in becoming its best self. Because when your body asks, nature answers.

Nature has given us tools for invigoration and relaxation. It has given us scents that smell of serenity, and flavors that conjure vitality. And beneath these sensations, nature has given us balanced, preventative herbal solutions that can provide a life well-lived in comfort. We have simply brought these wonders of nature together – in balance.

With the advent of modern cannabis-infusion techniques, we aim to strike the same balance. In our experimentation to create exceptional products, we discovered that cannabis’s most incredible quality is its versatility. In each of our products, we employ cannabis in a balancing act to find the best complement to each unique essential oil blend. And in each product, we believe that we have created effective Ayurvedic alternatives for those seeking a balanced lifestyle.
