Women's Handball Herzogenbuchsee Broad Spectrum CBD oil Herba di Berna

Herba di Berna proudly supports the 1st division women’s handball team Herzogenbuchsee. Find out what this has to do with better sleep, less muscle soreness and performance in the latest blog.

CBD oil has long since found its place not only in everyday vitality, but also in competitive sports. Many athletes use it as a natural support for regeneration and performance.

At Herba di Berna, we are passionately committed to increasing enthusiasm, health and exercise in our society. We are proud not only to offer high-quality CBD products, but also to support local communities and committed athletes.

This blog post shows how our CBD oils are supporting the Herzogenbuchsee women’s handball team on their way to the championship title. For athletes who may be subject to doping controls, it is essential to use THC-free products, as THC is on the list of banned substances. However, the Broad Spectrum oil still encompasses a broad spectrum of cannabinoids. This makes it ideal for athletes.

Focus on the Herzogenbuchsee women’s handball team

We received a warm request from the Herzogenbuchsee women’s handball team last spring. Well prepared and enthusiastic, the athletes asked for sponsorship and showed particular interest in the potential benefits of CBD oil for performance and regeneration.

Despite our limited budget, we decided to respond positively to the sympathetic request. After intensive discussions and consultations with Iona, one of our CBD experts, it was decided to sponsor the team with a 6% Broad Spectrum oil. Iona accompanied the team throughout the entire test phase and regularly exchanged information with the handball players and was on hand to answer any questions they had. After three months of intensive use, Iona and the team met for an insightful interview and video shoot to discuss the noticeable effects of CBD oil

The team described the following outstanding effects

  1. Improved sleep quality: Many players reported an increased quality of sleep and waking up refreshed in the morning.
  2. Reduced muscle soreness: Regular use of Broad Spectrum CBD oil led to a noticeable reduction in muscle soreness after intensive training.
  3. Balance: The team reported an improved mental balance, which had a positive effect on concentration and performance.
  4. Better performance: The players noticed an increase in their performance, both in training and in official matches.
  5. In addition, many described a general increase in well-being, fewer headaches and also less pain during menstruation.

Conclusion

Our cooperation with the women’s handball team from Herzogenbuchsee shows that CBD oil is not only a natural supplement for athletes, but can also have concrete positive effects on performance and regeneration. And can also simply support general well-being. Who wouldn’t want that?

How CBD reduces stress in athletes

Posted on
Sportler*innen mit CBD-Öl gegen Stress

Stress is a ubiquitous phenomenon in sports. Both before and after a hard workout or competition, athletes can be under tremendous stress. The physical and mental stress can lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances and impaired performance. Fortunately, there is a natural solution that can help athletes reduce this stress: CBD.[1]

What is CBD and how does it work against stress?

CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for regulating various functions, including stress levels. CBD can help reduce stress by decreasing the production of stress hormones such as cortisol while promoting the release of endorphins, the so-called “happy hormones.”

Less stress before training

Before a strenuous training session or competition, athletes can often be under enormous pressure. CBD can help reduce this stress and promote a calm and focused mindset. By taking CBD products before training, athletes can achieve better stress management and concentration, which can have a positive impact on their performance.

Relaxation after the workout

Stress can also play a role after training or a competition. Sore muscles, exhaustion and mental tension are common side effects of intense sports activities. CBD can help support recovery by reducing inflammation and promoting body regeneration. In addition, CBD can help athletes to switch off faster and find a restful sleep, which is of great importance for regeneration.

CBD compared to other methods of stress reduction.

Compared to traditional methods of stress reduction, CBD offers several advantages. Unlike prescription drugs or tranquilizers, CBD usually has no negative side effects and is not addictive. In addition, CBD is a natural, herbal product. CBD products are available in various forms, including oils, capsules, and topical applications (e.g., ointments), giving athletes flexibility in their use.

Conclusion

CBD can be an effective support to reduce stress in sports. It can be taken before exercise to improve stress management and concentration, and after exercise to promote recovery and regeneration. Compared to other methods of stress reduction, CBD offers many benefits and usually has no negative side effects. If you are an athlete* looking for a natural and effective way to reduce your stress, CBD might be the right choice.

CBD and competitive sports (part 2): Experiences of an extreme athlete

Posted on

For more basic knowledge on the topic of “CBD and competitive sports”, we recommend reading the 1st part of our series on CBD in sports: CBD and competitive sports (Part1): What’s behind it?

We at Herba di Berna wanted to generate our own empirical values for the topic of CBD and sports, which is why we approached the aspiring trail runner Michael.

He tested a Broad Spectrum oil for us for several months during his training phase and now tells us about his experience.

Interview with Michael: Experiences from competitive sports

Dear Michael, thank you for supporting this experiment and daring to try it yourself.
You are very conscious of sensible consumption, especially because your athletic performance is at stake. Is this how you also came across CBD oil as a natural doping?

For me, meaningful consumption is very central. Not only in terms of athletic performance, but also for the environment and animals. For this reason, I have been eating a vegan diet for years and always keep my eyes open for ways to maximize my performance without harming fellow humans, animals or nature. This interest has also made me aware of CBD products.

What was your expectation or hope with taking CBD oil?

I hoped that I would be able to recover even better and thus be fresher for the upcoming units. In addition, I had the idea that the CBD oil may even have a preventive effect against minor injuries. In many cases, overuse injuries start with a small inflammation that intensifies with further stress. Avoiding these small inflammations with the consumption of CBD oil and the necessary rest would obviously be a big plus.

You have been taking Broad Spectrum CBD oil for us for over three months. What has made itself felt?

I have already felt various positive effects in the relatively short time.
During a training volume increase, for example, from 90 running kilometers one week to 100 running kilometers the next, I often felt the periosteum on my shin a bit, this was not the case during the CBD drop experiment.
In addition, I was able to focus even better during the more monotonous workouts, such as weight training, as long as I took 3-4 drops immediately before the workout. Quite apart from the positive effects on training, I really like the taste of the drops, whether in coffee, muesli or pure.

Only those who are well rested can also perform well

Michael, trail runner

What would you say, did the CBD oil have more of a positive impact on your performance or your recovery? Or even both?

Both. It is certainly primarily regenerative as it has an anti-inflammatory and calming effect. Due to the good recovery and because the oil, at least in my case, had increased the focus on the essentials, the CBD drops certainly increased the performance.
Only those who are well rested can also perform well.

Would you recommend Broad Spectrum CBD oil to other exercisers or competitive athletes:inside?

Yes, after this experiment I definitely recommend CBD oil. I also recommend the drops to people who are perhaps not so active in sports, because the increase in focus has already impressed me quite a bit.

Are you also a movement person or athlete:in and would like to share an experience with the same interview questions? We allocate some 6% Broadsprectrum CBD oils for it. Get in touch via email: info@herbadiberna.ch

CBD and competitive sports (part 1): What’s behind it?

Posted on

This is the 1st post in our two-part series on CBD and competitive sports. In the second part, we asked trail runner Michael about his experiences: CBD and competitive sports: Experiences of an extreme athlete.

CBD oil is on everyone’s lips and is used as a “miracle cure” for almost any ailment.

And what about sports? There, too, it is increasingly used as a natural doping. It helps many athletes recover, but has also led to the suspension of top athletes.

Amateur athletes, top athletes and also ambitious hobby athletes already take CBD.

What many do not know: The body has its own endogenous cannabinoid system, [1] thus produces its own cannabinoid. This system is involved in brain development, motor control, immunological regulation, and pain perception, among others.

CBD as an anti-inflammatory

CBD oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It can also help speed up the healing process and even have a preventive effect – in fact, the anti-inflammatory properties act like cell protection.

Helpful against sore muscles

Muscle soreness is actually tiny, harmless muscle fiber tears. The muscle fiber tears also inflammation. Therefore, CBD has a healing effect here as well.

Against performance pressure and for better sleep

In addition, CBD oil can improve sleep quality and lower stress levels, both of which are important for athletes who need to perform at peak levels.

Be on the safe side

For athletes looking for an edge over the competition, or looking for a natural way to improve health, CBD oil might be worth considering. It’s best to talk to your doctor about whether CBD is right for you. It is important to use a broad spectrum, THC-free oil. Then you also have no problems with possible doping controls in professional sports, because CBD products are already for years no longer on the list of banned substances.
