As summer rolls in and the days stretch longer, many of us look forward to time outdoors, joyful gatherings, and of course, Fourth of July fireworks. But while these celebrations can bring people together, they also bring loud, unpredictable noise that can trigger anxiety in both people and pets. For veterans, individuals managing chronic stress, and animals with noise sensitivities, the Fourth of July isn’t always a welcome experience.
That’s where natural wellness alternatives come in.
At Your CBD Store Braintree, we’ve long championed plant-based options like CBD to help people and pets manage anxiety, promote rest, and find everyday relief – without the side effects of conventional medications. CBD, a natural, non-psychoactive compound derived from hemp, works by supporting the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating stress, mood, and sleep.
According to a 2019 case series published by the National Institutes of Health, CBD helped reduce PTSD-related symptoms in veterans, offering a safe, effective option during high-stress seasons like this one. And it’s not just people who benefit.
Sunmed’s pet-specific formulas have brought calm to dogs during storms and fireworks, offering a gentle alternative to sedation. As one customer, Vikki B. from Caryville, shared:
“Pup relief”
Sunmed’s pet product provided the calming action we needed to give our pup relief during storms and really helps when holiday celebrations in the area include fireworks. We give her the recommended dose for her weight, before we know the storms or the fireworks start, and she will lay calmly rather than pacing the floor and panting the entire time the storm or fireworks continue. After trying other things that we felt weren’t the best for her well-being (anxiety medicine prescribed by the vet knocked her out for a few hours), it was a relief to find this option that worked for her with no side effects.
For humans, the benefits of CBD stretch beyond just calming nerves. Our customers frequently share how Sunmed products have transformed their sleep, improved pain management, and even helped shift emotional weight:
“Awesome sleep aid”
For the first time in decades – literally two decades – I can sleep through the night and wake up feeling rested. – Peter T., Washington, US
“Great for pain management”
We order the Full Spectrum Neuro for our 96-year-old mother who has benefited significantly. Thank you. – Howard C., Altoona, US
“I love this stuff”
I used to sit around in my feelings and become depressed at night. Since using these products, I feel like the weight is off my shoulders and I can actually relax. – Julia, St. Petersburg, FL
“Afternoon chill”
These products seem to help take the edge off the afternoon after working. Helps me to center and live in the moment more rather than dwell on stressors. – Emily J., Laingsburg, US
