Cravings

The Detox Collection

Detox products are specially formulated with CBD and natural ingredients that have long been used for addictive cravings, in many cultures and for many years. Detox products bring a laser-like focus to curbing alcoholic cravings.

Detox pairs CBD with natural ingredients chosen for the vital role they can play in minimizing harmful visual cues and, in turn, lessening addictive cravings.

Choose from capsules, oil, or powder. Or combine them – more is better. Remember, with CBD, consistent use over time is key.

Detox’s hardworking CBD finds itself teamed with magnesium, amino acids, and kudzu root to bring the kibosh to those alcoholic cravings and cut down on your alcohol intake.

Addiction

Addiction is a dreadful, life-threatening affliction. Addicts have a crushing attraction to substances that, ultimately, promise only to make matters worse. Borne out of this struggle, Exact Nature Botanicals LLC is run by recovering alcoholic Thomas White and his son Daniel, also in recovery.

Exact Nature’s singular mission to provide healthy, THC-free CBD-based products to help recovering addicts and alcoholics face the addictive cravings and changes in mood and sleep patterns that can come in sobriety.

While there are thousands of CBD products on the market, Exact Nature’s are the only products formulated for the specific needs of people who want to reduce their use of alcohol, drugs, and harmful substances.

What’s in a Name?

The name of this company – Exact Nature – is derived from Step Five of AA’s Twelve Steps. Step Five says we, “Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.”

Step Five is called the forgiveness step and working it can be gut wrenching. It’s commonly accepted, however, that in recovery unloading one’s burdens with unflinching honesty is necessary before we can move on from the detritus of our past destructive behaviors. And because unflinching honesty is, after all, not something we alcoholics and addicts come to naturally, you may need to the it may take doing Step Five more than once to feel fully cleansed.

Doing the hard work of the Fifth Step is often rejuvenating. Many people report that after unloading their baggage they experience a peace, calm, and a freedom that’s been missing for years. The Fifth Step is a key step in recovery, and one of the hardest, but is often the harbinger to a new, unencumbered, and sober life and one with which Exact Nature associates with great pride.

Be it a loved one or a friend’s struggle with alcohol, or opiates, or tobacco, finding someone in America not directly affected by addiction is rare. And addiction doesn’t discriminate – we addicts come from every walk of life.

America's Addictions

Almost 21 million Americans have at least one addiction and less than ten percent ever receive treatment. Drug overdose deaths in the US have more than tripled since 1990.
In 2020 alone, according to the CDC, overdose deaths were at an all-time high of 93,331. Between 1999 and 2017, more than 700,000 American have overdosed and died. Imagine the heartache associated with each of these deaths.

The Big Four types of addiction are, in order, tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and painkillers. And they affect our way of life and potential significantly. Per HMS.gov, substance misuse in the US adversely affects the economy to the tune of $442 billion annually. If these numbers don’t mean much in the aggregate, think about it this way: #JobsLost, #FamiliesBroken, #FamilyDysfuntion, #RelationshipsLost. Or even more granularly, think of a toddler playing with her dada who, rather than enjoying the moment, is thinking about his next high.

Alcoholism Defined

To no one’s surprise, alcohol is the most widely abused substance in the US. One in eight of us are text-book alcoholics and less than ten percent ever receive treatment. We Americans watch 88,000 people die every year because of alcohol.

In 2017, 70 million Americans were arrested for being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Tragically, on an average day in America, 30 die in an alcohol-related car accident and six die from alcohol poisoning.

Much of our affinity for alcohol can be seen in our teen years – more than 90 percent of addicts started to drink alcohol or use drugs before they were 18 years old, while Americans 18 –25 are most likely to use addictive drugs. Parents need to be aware and proactive when they recognize an issue.

CBD for Alcoholism

The therapeutic properties of CBD are not fully understood, though a significant amount of research is underway. With CBD, you have an uncommon situation where a body of very positive anecdotal and user experiences has outpaced the research. This makes the results no less real, however.

It’s generally believed that CBD binds to and balances a system of neurotransmitters throughout the body called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). A balanced ECS helps return your body to equilibrium. Bringing your body back in to equilibrium helps stabilize important bodily functions from sleep to mood to addictive cravings.

As alcoholics and addicts, our brain’s circuitry is out of whack. By balancing the body’s endocannabinoid system, CBD helps get that circuitry back in alignment. By minimizing drug cues it can help break the psychological bridge that rewards addictive behavior and, in turn, reduce an alcoholic’s drug-seeking behavior. For this reason, CBD can play an important part in a broad approach to getting sober.

In current research examining CBD and its potential to help with alcoholism, experts have observed that this natural compound can inhibit that part of the brain, usually activated by alcohol, as well as drugs and tobacco.
Exact Nature’s top two selling products are: Detox capsules and Detox CBD Oil. These products exist to help people who want to cut down on their use of intoxicating substances. This is a tangible step that people are taking to address this issue. A repeat purchase rate of 48 percent tells us the product is helping.
