FOR someone who once felt like she was drowning in a sea of depression, Christine Slaven’s life is now going well.
The 49-year-old from Stevenston says it’s thanks to just four drops of CBD oil that he takes twice a day that his life has changed.
The oil is legal, safe and non-addictive as it does not contain the THC compound that gives the “high” associated with smoking cannabis or taking the drug in other forms.
Medicinal cannabis like Nutrivive was legalized in the UK in November 2018.
Suffering from depression, anxiety, and sleepless nights, the years of taking various medications prescribed to try to control these illnesses did not seem to help.
Christine says she felt like a “zombie” and that it took all her time to force herself out of her house.
Christine, who lives with her husband and three young children, explained: “I had been depressed for many years and when my mother, Christine died in 2020, my heart was broken and distressed, which made my depression was extremely uncontrollable.The anxiety I felt took over my whole life.
“I felt like I had been locked up and all my emotions had taken me away. And the tablets I was taking made me feel like a zombie.
“I hated being like that because I have three kids to take care of and a job as a freshman in a local authority daycare. It made me feel like I didn’t want to leave home.
“I was not happy and I knew I could not continue my life like this. I no longer wanted to be that person. I just wanted something that would make me feel normal. ”
Now, after just six months of using CBD oil, he has found a new life and has even taken the courage to join a wild swimming group near his home on the Ayrshire coast.
Next year, Christine will take part in a 1.7-mile charity swim in the sea between Cumbrae Island and Largs to raise money for the Gillian’s Saltire Appeal, a charity that provides respite care for people who live with cancer and their families. .
She said: “I would definitely encourage other people to try CBD Nutrivive oil, as it could do them wonders if, as before, they feel depressed, anxious or can’t sleep well.”
Nutrivive co-owner Harry McDonough said: “It’s a fantastic feeling to know that our CBD oil has made a difference in the lives of Christine and many other people.”
“I use it myself and know first hand the benefits it brings me through relaxation, better sleep quality and how it holistically strengthens your mind and body.”
Glasgow-based Nutrivive is run by brothers John and Harry McDonough and its premium CBD oil contains cannabidiol, which is the part of the cannabis plant with soothing, calming and healing properties.
And each batch of Nutrivive CBD oil undergoes triple quality testing at one of the most important testing facilities in Europe.
