The topical use of CBD is one of the most popular alternatives today, a detail that is not surprising if we consider that it is a very effective option that allows us to take advantage of the benefits that CBD offers us.
In this post we will learn about the main effects of CBD for topical use, and we will also explain other interesting aspects such as the formulation of topical use.
What are the effects of topical CBD?
We continue to talk about the advantages that topically used CBD offers us and we do so knowing the effects it produces on the body.
First, we will highlight the powerful anti-inflammatory effects attributed to topical CBD, since there are many laboratory studies that show that the application of CBD on inflamed tissues will help us to reduce inflammation effectively.
It should be noted that CBD acts as a modulator in the production of the main markers of inflammation, blocking the inflammatory response.
On the other hand, it is worth highlighting the antioxidant effects as another of the important benefits that CBD offers us for topical use.
Therefore, if you want to protect the skin and slow down the signs of aging, you should consider this solution as one of the most recommended alternatives you have at your disposal.
Finally, we will talk about the analgesic effect as another interesting property of CBD, an advantage that is not new if we consider that hemp was used in the past to treat ailments such as arthritis or joint pain.
The traditional use of CBD is supported by a wide variety of scientific studies, which show that this substance activates different receptors that are involved with the modulation of pain, offering us a very effective analgesic response.
In summary, the effects caused by topical CBD are very varied, so it is not surprising that we are dealing with a substance that has an increasing number of users, as well as this trend is expected to continue to grow exponentially in the coming years.
How Topically Used CBD Reduces Pain
We have explained that one of the main benefits of CBD for topical use is that it has a powerful analgesic effect, which explains why we are dealing with a solution indicated to treat pain.
It is time to explain the reasons why pain is reduced through CBD and the main key to this effect would be in the endocannabinoid system and in the TRP channels.
In this sense, it should be clarified that the endocannabinoid system has the important function of regulating the level of pain, as well as being responsible for regulating stress or anxiety in our body.
The skin, which is the largest organ in the body, has numerous cannabinoid receptors, which explains the effectiveness of topical use of CBD in regulating both pain and inflammation.
It is time to understand what TRP receptors are and what function they have , which are located in numerous tissues of the body and have the particularity that they respond to all kinds of sensory stimuli such as taste or pain perception.
For this reason, CBD topically has the ability to reduce pain effectively and acts directly on these receptors.
Topical CBD formulations
Another fundamental aspect to understand the characteristics of CBD for topical use is to know the formulation, which we can find in isolation or also in the form of a cream that adds different substances that will allow us to enhance its effects such as cinnamaldehyde or menthyl nocotinate.
It is now time to learn about a series of medicinal plants that usually accompany CBD in the different topical creams that we have on the market.
Precisely, in our catalog we have the best CBD creams for topical use, being a highly recommended alternative that has interesting benefits. (see this blog article for more details)
You can also visit our flowers, oils, cbd oils for pets and vapes.
In this case, we will mention arnica as one of the medicinal plants that usually includes CBD among its components (as it is marketed in cream or ointment format).
We will emphasize that this is a compound that stands out mainly for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, making it an ideal option to treat contusions, sprains or muscle pain.
Another plant that stands out for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties is devil’s claw, so it is not surprising that we are facing a very popular solution today.
Finally, we must mention echinacea as another of the medicinal plants that have a greater impact and prominence, highlighting its anti-inflammatory, healing and antioxidant properties.
Considering the wide benefits of this plant, we can define it as an ideal option to accelerate the healing of wounds or also to reduce inflammation.
In what situations is topical CBD recommended?
We cannot conclude without explaining the different situations in which the topical use of CBD will be very useful to us.
As we have already mentioned, its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties make it possible for us to be facing one of the best alternatives against pain.
CBD for topical use is especially useful for treating joint pain, such as osteoarthritis or arthritis some of the most common and common diseases. Consult with your trusted doctor.
In addition, it is an ideal alternative to treat all types of muscle injuries and other injuries that mainly affect athletes, such as sprains or tendonitis.
Likewise, topical CBD is being used to treat low back pain or neck pain, this being another reason why the use of CBD has increased considerably in recent years.
In conclusion, we have learned about the numerous advantages offered by topical CBD, being one of the most popular formats today.
