Wunder Workshop did not get its name by accident. Wunder means miracle and represents those plants with exceptional qualities. An example of this is the Cannabis plant. “When my late mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2014, she was taking cannabis oil that helped her tremendously for pain and gave her a much-needed appetite. After she passed away in 2016, I was still so impressed with the benefits from the Cannabis plant that we decided to combine it with the effects of turmeric and other medicinal plants, and so launched the first Turmeric CBD oil in 2016.” CBD is known for its calming effects and pain relief. The CBD products by Wunder Workshop can address the needs for anxiety and stress relief, sleep, and women’s health, and for good reason. According to Zoe, “CBD works with our endocannabinoid system, which has functions in various parts of the body and works within a network of complex pathways in our body. It also works on several receptor-independent pathways that stimulate feelings of contentment. For example, it has been shown to decrease the reuptake of the feel-good hormone serotonin, increasing the effects of this neurotransmitter in the brain – hence the categorization for sleep, anxiety, and stress. Plus, it affects vanilloid receptors (TRPV1) which are associated with our perception of pain. Through personal experience and from reviews of many of our customers, CBD was able to relieve the pain associated with menstrual cramps, which has been of huge benefit and why it is categorized in the women’s health section too.” In addition to CBD products, the formulation also contains potent extracts of other natural ingredients such as turmeric, black pepper, and olive oil. Although CBD is a powerful ingredient in combating pain, Zoe and Tom were eager to get to the root cause of pain, which is often inflammation, so they combined their blends with a potent turmeric extract for a dual-targeting effect.
