Time-tested Chinese herbs and CBD come together in Dragon Hemp's performance and recovery products, which are thoughtfully formulated to support different points of health and well-being. The new wellness brand's premium blends tap into the numerous benefits of hemp CBD, Chinese herbs and other functional botanicals to apply ancient remedies to modern needs.

Dragon Hemp came from the mind of Sports Medicine Acupuncturist, Kevin Menard, LAc, who says, "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." The brand's core products include tinctures, capsules and balms, such as the REST Tincture with lavender, linden flower, passionflower and full-spectrum hemp CBD and CBN extracts. 

Trend Themes

  1. Chinese Herb-CBD Fusion - Creating products that combine traditional Chinese herbs and CBD can offer benefits that address multiple health and wellness concerns. 

  2. Custom Formulated CBD Products - Developing personalized formulas that cater to the specific needs of individuals can lead to a new market of tailored CBD products. 

  3. Ancient Remedies for Modern Needs - Exploring traditional wellness remedies, such as Chinese herbs, and integrating them into modern products can offer a unique value proposition for health-conscious consumers.

Industry Implications

  1. CBD Industry - Developing unique CBD products that combine premium CBD extracts with functional botanicals and herbs can give brands a competitive edge in the crowded CBD market.

  2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry - Incorporating CBD into traditional Chinese medicine practices can offer new treatment options and expand the market for TCM practitioners.

  3. Wellness Industry - Collaborating with experts in acupuncture, sports medicine, and other wellness fields to create customized CBD blends can offer unique solutions for specific health concerns and differentiate brands in the wellness space.

Parades’ design resulted in a space that resembled an old-world Chinese herbal pharmacy merged with a modern apothecary. The interior has an Eastern-esque, Aesop-inspired design, elegant and appealing in its emerald-toned glow. Parades selected everything for the store, from the tiles lining the wall to the jars that hold the organic elements infused into the product, ensuring that every detail aligned with the brand's image and aspirations.
