CBD and Everyday Stress: What 38% of Our Customers Say
Does CBD actually help with everyday stress? I am the founder of Kyoto Botanicals and in this video I read and personally analyzed all 94 published reviews of our own products to see what customers actually told us, in their own words, about why they reach for Kyoto Botanicals CBD to help manage everyday stress and promote a sense of calm.
Why Reviews Are So Important To Me
Since we launched in early 2020, I've read and personally responded to all the Kyoto Botanicals CBD reviews we've ever received: it's part of what I think it means to run a transparent brand. For this video series I went even deeper. I tagged each review for two things: why the customer said they were using the product, in their own words, and what they specifically said they liked. Nothing was cherry-picked; in our entire history of collecting reviews, I've only ever declined to publish one, and that was for foul language. This is part one of a three-part series, stress and calm today, with sleep and physical recovery to follow.
