When people hear of CBD their mind automatically jumps to CBD oil. After all, CBD tinctures are still the most popular products. That is quickly changing as American’s are quickly discovering the many potential uses CBD can provide.
According to SingleCare:
“Of the Americans who use CBD, the most common uses are for pain relief (64%), anxiety (49%), and insomnia (42%).”
Considering pain relief is the number one reason we turn to CBD, we at The CBD Haven, wanted to discuss the recent product advancements in CBD Topical products.
There are two ways you can use CBD to potentially help with pain relief.
Oral products, such as CBD Oil are typically used by people with systemic inflammatory conditions. Those conditions include rheumatoid arthritis or Multiple Sclerosis, autoimmune conditions and pain caused by neurological conditions.
Taking CBD oil for pain can require some experimenting with dosage and CBD spectrums, as our bodies will respond differently to each. You can expect to feel the effects of sublingual consumption within one hour of ingestion.
Full benefits might not be realized until a couple weeks after starting your regimen, simply because CBD oil works with your Endocannabinoid System to help your body achieve homeostasis. They work together in an antioxidant capacity, to help potentially decrease inflammation and act as an analgesic or pain reliever.
Your other option is a CBD Topical.
According to Practical Pain Management:
“Topicals include CBD creams, lotions, salves, and ointments. These are usually best to treat localized pain, arthritic pain, and neuropathic or nerve pain.14 Applied directly to the skin, one advantage of topicals is that they do not seem to exert any psychotropic effects.”
CBD Topicals is what we’d like to focus on in this Blog.
What is CBD Topical?
Simply put a “CBD topical is any cream, lotion or salve that’s infused with CBD and can be applied directly to the skin.” - Healthline
It is applied directly to the affected area and does not enter your blood stream. Most people can begin to feel the effects within minutes; however, it can take up to a couple hours to feel the full effect.
There have been a lot of advancements in Topical CBD products, and today we’d like to highlight some of our most popular, highest rated and best-selling products.
Each marketplace is different, so we can only provide you with information based on our current products and customer feedback.
