Leigh: Via Verde business launched by woman after debilitating illness

After been bitten by a tick while living in Spain in 2018, Sarah Jones' health rapidly deteriorated as she developed chronic consequences from Q Fever.

Intending to eliminate toxins from her body without relying on strong painkillers or opioids, Sarah took to CBD oil to combat her intense pain and was amazed by the results that it had.

Following further research into CBD and its benefits, Sarah believed that there was a gap in the market to help others through this approach, and launched 'Via Verde' back in 2022.

After setting up her business from home two years ago, Sarah has recently moved into a new premises in Leigh Spinners Mill, where she intends to grow her business and teach others about the benefits of CBD and organic products.

"I needed to rid my body from toxins and CBD helped with my recovery, pain, and anxiety.

"I know exactly what has gone into these products and I am really passionate about helping other people and offering a healthy alternative to recovery."
