When it comes to wellness warriors, they perhaps don’t come more controversial than CBD.
But is it a case of a storm in a teacup with this proclaimed health hero?
The science says yes – and it’s in empirical evidence where local CBD company Karma Coast place their trust.
This Tynemouth-based holistic health service is deeply focussed on helping their clients achieve real wellbeing results using tried-and-tested methods. Which is why their practice is backed all the way by scientific research.
And it’s led them to CBD.
From helping us manage severe pain to making us less prone to stress, there’s a wealth of health and wellbeing benefits that new studies are now attributing to this natural remedy.
Here’s what you need to know…
WHAT IS CBD?
Say ‘CBD’ and most people’s minds will turn straight to cannabis.
And they’re not wrong.
But CBD – or cannabidiol – is nothing to be wary of. Completely legal in the UK, CBD is one of two primary compounds naturally produced by the cannabis plant. While THC produces the high, CBD has no intoxicating effects whatsoever.
But it is where much of the medicinal value of the plant lies.
And the beauty of CBD now is that there are so many ways you can try it. Whether you want a couple of CBD drops in your coffee or would prefer taking a capsule with your other food supplements; if you find a CBD vape most soothing, love those CBD-infused skincare saviours, or you really feel the benefits of rubbing CBD balms onto your joints, modern CBD products are all about how you like to use them.
DOES CBD GET YOU HIGH?
Karma Coast source their CBD from hemp, which has naturally low levels of THC, (the other compound found in cannabis, which produces the ‘high’).
However, the team still include THC – in its legal dosage – in many of their products because of the extensive research proving that it can help remedy pain, insomnia and anxiety, to name but a few benefits.
Not only that, but in the presence of CBD, THC’s psychoactive effects are significantly reduced, often to nothing at all. So, you don’t need to be concerned about the ‘high’ commonly associated with cannabis when enjoying any of Karma Coast’s products.
10 BENEFITS OF CBD
As part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle, CBD can offer plenty of general wellbeing advantages, from improving digestion to encouraging relaxation.
But sufferers of a wide range of ailments have attributed almost miraculous benefits to taking CBD in some form of another, too – and they’re all backed up by science.
However you consume it, CBD interacts with neuroreceptors in our body’s endocannabinoid system, which sends signals between our cells to help regulate movement, mood, homeostasis and our immune system.
Because of these properties, scientists have proven the benefits of CBD for the treatment of anxiety and depression, certain epilepsy syndromes, PTSD, opioid addiction, ALS and diabetic complications.
Thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, CBD has also been proven to help relieve unmanageable pain, making it a popular therapy among cancer patients and arthritis sufferers, in particular.
On a surface level, CBD is also a powerful antioxidant, meaning it’s a godsend for skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis, as well as fighting the appearance of wrinkles. But deeper than this, this quality of CBD has also been shown to protect against neurological diseases, specifically Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and MS.
10 benefits of CBD:
- Reduces anxiety and depression
- Relieves severe pain
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Protects against brain disease
- Improves skin health
- Aids digestive issues
- Encourages relaxation
- Can improve symptoms of epilepsy, PTSD, ALS and diabetes
- Effective treatment for opioid addiction
- Regulates our immune system
KARMA COAST
The first and only organic CBD company in Newcastle upon Tyne, partners Dylan and Magdalena founded Karma Coast with an ambition to improve wellbeing through education.
Based high on the cliffs of the beautiful coastal village of Tynemouth, their CBD dispensary and shop provides only the highest quality, vegan-friendly, organic CBD products on the market – ranging in everything from CBD drops to CBD tea, vape cartridges and even milk (kinda).
And, with more than 20 years’ combined experience in the professional health industry, Magdalena and Dylan also offer complimentary wellness consultations (with follow-up support) that incorporate science and the very latest research to help those new to CBD understand how to consume their various products to best suit their unique health needs.
Karma Coast have been officially recognised by 11 independent awards bodies, winning:

WHAT MAKES KARMA COAST DIFFERENT?
As well as their transparent supply chain, their in-person dispensary and consultancy (meaning you actually get to put faces to their names), and their sparkling awards cabinet, perhaps the biggest testaments to Karma Coast’s excellence as a CBD provider are their customer reviews.
Their loyal client base (that numbers more than 2,000 and growing), have bestowed 5-star ratings on Karma Coast via both Google and Trustpilot.
Maybe that’s because customers here can trust that all the CBD used in Karma Coast’s products are certified organic, vegan-friendly, sustainably sourced and packed, and safe to use. Plus, they’re prepared using the whole plant, not merely isolates, meaning they provide a higher efficacy than other CBD products on the market.
Maybe because it’s that they trust the business to be always improving their offering, never settling for cheap imitations but using only state-of-the-art hardware to create their lab-tested products, (the credentials of which are all clearly visible on their website).
Or perhaps it’s because this small, family-run business puts community at the heart of everything that they do.
Whether it’s their work with local artisans to create their products, their support of local artists with the subsidised events they organise, or their partnership with local charities to ensure the wellbeing properties of their CBD products are available to those who need them most, Karma Coast’s raison d’être is to help people feel healthier, safer and happier.
