Treating Planar Fasciitis

Individuals with heel pain may receive a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis. This common condition arises when the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed.

Why is Europe not a stable CBD market?

Manufacturers of CBD cosmetics and supplements are reporting huge margins thanks to booming sales and regulatory ambiguities. The demands are so powerful that manufacturers are not able to meet them. This has resulted in the expansion of the grey market. Since demand is so high, authorities are not able to follow all the companies including those in the grey zone.

Amid quality concerns, innovative cannabis products such as...
