The Experience, Alameda: Malaya Botanicals @Alameda Point

The Experience:

Pain Away! The Magic of CBD!

Recovering from surgery is always a challenge, especially when your muscles are still sore. And we know physical therapy and lateral movements are needed to hasten healing. One of Malaya Botanicals’ clients, Joc, who goes to the gym, knows this struggle especially after a torn rotator cuff surgery. “We’re so glad to know that our premium CBD Muscle Pain Relief Cream is the game changer that Joc needed,” comments owner Pia Barton.​​ “Her Yelp review says it all! Not only is it effective in giving her instant relief that lasts for hours, it also has a mild scent that’s just perfect for our skin without that strong menthol scent like other pain creams out there.”

​​​​​So put on your workout shoes and get ready to say goodbye to muscle pain! Remember to consult with your physical therapist on what movement works best for healing after surgery. As for muscle soreness, they have some great products from which to choose and they also have a trial size of the CBD Muscle Pain Relief Cream if you want to check it out.

In the Spirit of Lennon

Many of us grew up as fans of the Beatles and sadly, John Lennon left us early. Join Rhythmix Sunday, October 9 from 7-9pm for an intimate acoustic celebration of the life and music of John Lennon.

Drew Harrison of The Sun Kings presents a loving, emotionally charged retrospective of the life and career of John, one of the most popular artists of all time, told through stories and songs from The Beatles years through the final recordings of his life.

Gifted with the most natural, effortless Lennon voice in the music world, Harrison has been performing John’s songs and weaving the tales and anecdotes that go along with them for nearly two decades.

Drew will be accompanied on piano by the talented Tommy Cosentino to further enhance this acoustic celebration of the music of John Lennon on his birthday!
