Natural Support for Fibromyalgia: Sleep, Stress, and Inflammation

Semka was born from fibromyalgia. One of our founders watched a loved one struggle through years of pain, exhaustion, and dismissal. The first real relief came with CBD. That experience became the seed of Semka, a science-based, human-first company built to support people living with chronic conditions.

Fibromyalgia is not imagined. It is real. And if you’re living with it, you already know how heavy that truth can feel. Pain, exhaustion, brain fog, and feeling dismissed... it’s a lot.

This is not about miracle cures. It’s about small, doable ways to support your body. No pressure. Just options.

What Is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disruption, and cognitive issues. Researchers believe it may result from how the nervous system processes pain and stress. Learn more.

It’s more common in women and often overlaps with conditions like IBS, anxiety, and autoimmune disorders.

Why Natural Support Matters

Many people with fibromyalgia are sensitive to medications or overwhelmed by side effects. Natural support offers another path, one that’s gentle and less invasive. You can build habits that work with your body, not against it.

Sleep: Your First Anchor

When sleep suffers, symptoms get louder. Small rituals can create big shifts.

• Keep a consistent bedtime and wake time
• Dim lights before bed
• Use white noise or soft soundscapes
• Try magnesium and CBD
• Avoid screens before sleep, try stretching or reading

Stress Soothers:

• Get fresh air every day, even for five minutes
• Build short rest breaks into your routine

Inflammation and the ECS

Fibromyalgia isn’t classified as inflammatory, but inflammation often makes symptoms worse. Supporting your endocannabinoid system (ECS) may help regulate pain, mood, and immune response.

ECS-Supportive Habits:

• Eat anti-inflammatory foods: berries, greens, salmon
• Stay hydrated and limit sugar, alcohol, and processed foods
• Try gentle movement like yoga or walking
• Explore cannabinoids like CBD or CBG to support balance and rest

Journey well.
