The Arkansas Arthritis Foundation is partnering with Tree of Life Seeds, Arkansas-based hemp genetics and CBD product manufacturer, to raise awareness for their cause. Together, the two organizations will be working to highlight the foundation’s mission to provide research, advocacy, resources, and community support for arthritis patients and their families.
There are more than 100 types of arthritis that affect over 54 million adults and 300,000 children in the United States. Around 673,000 Arkansans have arthritis. The disease affects the body’s joints and can result in chronic pain that increases in severity over time. Arthritis is one of the top causes of disability in the United States.
On September 24, 2019, the Arthritis Foundation released a guide for arthritis patients on how to find the right CBD products and how to use it safely. CBD (Cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive chemical compound derived from Cannabis that may have therapeutic benefits such as relieving pain/inflammation, easing anxiety, and decreasing insomnia.

“We are excited to partner with Tree of Life Seeds knowing their products provide the level of quality our Arthritis Warriors deserve,” Angela Harris, Executive Director of the Arkansas Arthritis Foundation, said.
Medical experts worked with the Arthritis Foundation to ensure the guide answered the top questions patients have about taking CBD. The guide was created after the Arthritis Foundation conducted a survey in July, asking people with arthritis their thoughts on using CBD for managing their health. Out of 2600 people surveyed, 79% were either currently using CBD or had used it in the past for alleviating symptoms of arthritis.
“We are pleased to be the only CBD company the Arkansas Arthritis Foundation has chosen to pair with. Having the Foundation come out publicly in support of CBD is a monumental step forward for the industry,” Tree of Life Seeds CEO Jason Martin said. “We know that the Foundation only recommend the best to their members and are so proud that our products meet their needs.”
Their broad-spectrum CBD oil is rich with phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, and nano emulsified for maximum absorption on the skin and in the body. Their products match the Arthritis Foundation’s suggestion to purchase only high-quality, lab-tested CBD products as detailed in their CBD use guide.
