Slow jogging & regeneration: relaxation at your own pace

CBD und Slowjogging gesund durch joggen

At Herba di Berna, the exchange with you is at the heart of our work. Last week we had an inspiring exchange with Doris. She told us about her passion for slow jogging – a running method that is often underestimated but has a fascinating effect on our physical balance.

Perhaps you know the feeling: you often have the feeling that jogging is only “real” sport when you are completely out of breath. But Doris’ approach shows that it is precisely the deliberate, slow pace that opens the door to a very special form of balance.

The runner’s high: why slow jogging activates your endocannabinoid system

For a long time, it was thought that only endorphins were responsible for the feeling of happiness after exercise. Today, science shows a much more exciting picture: the endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays the actual main role here. If you want to delve deeper into these biological processes, you can find background information in our article: Endocannabinoid System: Why cannabis can affect us so well.

Continuous exercise causes your body to release its own cannabinoids, which dock onto receptors and make you feel good. Slow jogging offers just the right intensity to gently stimulate this system. Medical research is also intensively investigating how high-quality CBD oil can support the ECS in order to restore homeostasis, i.e. the body’s natural balance, more quickly after physical exertion.

Support from outside: The role of CBD products such as CBD flowers

While slow jogging boosts the production of your own endocannabinoids, hemp products can perfectly complement your lifestyle as accompanying elements.

Holistic support with CBD oil

In specialist circles and among athletes, CBD oil is often valued as an important piece of the puzzle for regeneration. The cannabinoids it contains interact directly with the body’s own endocannabinoid system. Scientific publications, such as comprehensive review studies in the journal Frontiers in Physiology [1], focus intensively on precisely this interaction and indicate that CBD can help to promote well-being after an active day.

The full aroma: CBD flowers for health-conscious enjoyment

For many people, a fixed ritual after a run is simply part of it. Since slow jogging focuses on health and conscious breathing, classic smoking is not an option for most athletes. However, our CBD flowers and other CBD products offer a wonderful natural basis for healthier alternatives that fit perfectly with an active lifestyle.

Many running enthusiasts use a high-quality vaporizer to gently vaporize the valuable terpenes . You can find more information about vaporizing in our blog CBD vaping instead of smoking. This method is gentle on the lungs and allows the pure taste and full aroma of the plant to come into its own without producing combustion products. If you prefer to rely on the power from within, the flowers are also ideal for baking healthy hemp snacks. A homemade bar with hemp nuts is the ideal reward after exercise. Whether as an aromatic fragrance or as an ingredient for your personal evening ritual: the flowers remain the purest form of the plant and help to clear your head after physical exertion.

Care for stressed areas: The power of CBD cosmetics

After an extensive round of slow jogging, the joints or specific muscle areas are often noticeably strained. While internal application has an effect on the entire system, our CBD cosmetics are the ideal solution for targeted external and local application. The special thing about the skin is that it has its own network of receptors that react directly to the nourishing ingredients and can process them.

Our joint gel is an absolute favorite with many sports enthusiasts for targeted care after exercise. The formula is based entirely on the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties of well-known natural ingredients. Ingredients such as arnica, horse chestnut and devil’s claw have been known for generations for precisely this soothing effect and give the stressed parts of the body the recovery they need after exertion. High-quality CBD from our hemp perfectly complements this herbal bouquet. This powerful composition from nature gives even established classic ointments a run for their money and makes our gel a holistic companion for your personal well-being after every workout.

The gel is quickly absorbed and does not leave a greasy film on the skin, making it particularly pleasant to use directly after showering. Thanks to its light texture, it can be gently massaged into the skin; this process promotes local blood circulation and thus supports the relaxation effect after sport. If you would like to find out more about the holistic effect, you can find even more in-depth information on this topic in our article Wellness with CBD: Holistic relaxation.

Insider tip: hemp foods as a reward

Doris ordered 50 grams of hemp tea to test immediately after our conversation. In our hemp food category, we offer raw materials that are legally approved as food. After a session of slow jogging, a warm infusion is the perfect ritual to round off the day.
