Cannabis brands do their bit in the fight against COVID-19
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus pandemic on March 11, 2020, all the world's attention has been focused on combating the spread of the virus and flattening the curve.
Hundreds of countries have taken strong security measures to prevent contagion in their territories to provide a timely response to populations, especially the most vulnerable.
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus pandemic on March 11, 2020, the entire world's attention is focused on slowing the spread of the virus to flatten the infection curve.
Companies of all sectors have changed their work modality to the "home office" to help stop the spread of the virus. Fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton have given up their sewing workshops to manufacture surgical masks to help the French population.
The cannabis industry has not been left behind with this initiative to help humanity but has decided to take a step to help stop the spread of the coronavirus that has cost so many lives. Companies like Whispr have decided to create cannabis-based products such as hand sanitizers on a large scale, taking advantage of all their resources to stop this pandemic.
These products could prevent the spread of the virus and at the same time moisturize the skin. But why use cannabis to create a hand sanitizer?
Because cannabis and its cannabinoids can provide great benefits for the skin and our immune system too!
Among the main components of the product made by Whispr are ingredients such as CBD, CBG, vitamin E, lavender, and of course alcohol in a percentage greater than 70%, which is the percentage indicated to obtain adequate disinfection.
How does it work?
CBD works as an immunoregulator, the skin has large amounts of CB2 receptors, which facilitates the absorption of these properties of the plant. The nutritive and moisturizing properties of CBD for the skin are also highlighted, which makes it possible to counteract the irritating effects of alcohol present in conventional hand sanitizers. CBG, on the other hand, has great therapeutic potential and antibacterial, moisturizing, and immunomodulatory properties.
In the case of other ingredients such as lavender and vitamin E, lavender has antibacterial and disinfectant functions and vitamin E works as a stimulator of the immune system so that it can fight the bacteria and viruses that invade it.
These companies have also developed cannabinoid-based soaps to encourage hand washing, which is the main recommendation as a prevention mechanism. Hand washing represents a simple weapon but without a doubt one of the most powerful, since it has been shown that it not only helps to destroy the COVID-19 viral particle but also helps to remove it, thus achieving a considerable reduction in contagion. through constant hand washing.
The WHO recommends that hand washing last at least 30 seconds, and that it be carried out actively and without leaving any area of the hands unwashed, such as fingers, nails, palms of the hands, and wrist in order not to leave areas where the virus particles may be.
Many of these companies have created these products to be sold to users, but they have also destined their products to be donated to those most in need, so their contribution goes beyond a common benefit and becomes an admirable act in favor of the health of the world.
The coronavirus has had a great impact on the whole world, since it has caused the death of thousands of people and has infected more than a million worldwide, in a few words it represents a negative entity for the world but it has also awakened the solidarity in the hearts of the people and has caused in a certain way a reduction in the emission of toxic gases, which represents a breather for the environment, which in turn is something positive.
Stopping the spread is the main recommendation of the WHO and this will only be possible if we stay at home and constantly wash our hands, with the help of everyone possible.
