Dragon Hemp Launches Premium Blends of Chinese Herbs and CBD for Performance & Recovery

SAG HARBOR, N.Y., Feb. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dragon Hemp announced today its official launch as a new wellness brand offering proprietary blends of premium Chinese Herbs, hemp CBD, and other botanicals to enhance performance, support recovery and help restore overall well-being. All products are uniquely formulated for efficacy using ancient practices to meet today's modern needs.

Developed by renowned Sports Medicine Acupuncturist, Kevin Menard, LAc, Dragon Hemp was meticulously crafted as an extension of his healing treatments to support an even  broader audience – whether patients at his clinic in Sag Harbor, NY, or consumers visiting the direct-to-consumer e-commerce store. Through his training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and in practice treating patients since 2012, Kevin has always turned to the healing powers of Chinese Herbs and botanicals. After seeing the benefits of CBD within his own athletic and martial arts training and recovery process, he saw an opportunity to combine this original Chinese Herb (CBD) with other botanicals used frequently in his clinic and bring it to the masses.

"I believe the body possesses the natural ability to heal, and my goal with Dragon Hemp is to support that innate process through custom formulas that work harmoniously to address specific concerns in the body," said Kevin Menard, Founder of Dragon Hemp. "By fusing time-honored Chinese Medicine with today's advancements in cannabinoid plant medicine, we hope to educate consumers on the benefits of these ancient herbs, their powerful healing properties, and their potential to work synergistically with CBD."

• REST Tincture: Contains Full Spectrum Hemp CBD and CBN extracts, combined with Chinese herb, Schisandra Fruit (Wu-Wei-Zi), and native botanicals Passionflower, Lavender, and Linden Flower.
