CBD Topicals For Pain Relief

CBD Topicals FAQs

1. How to choose a CBD topical product for relieving pain?

   First, you’ll want to look at the intended use of the product. Various CBD topicals contain warming, cooling or numbing properties that address specific pain types or recovery needs. Do your research to see which method of soothing is best for what you’re attempting to achieve.
   
   The next thing to look at closely is potency. You’ll want to see how much CBD is contained per milliliter or ounce to determine the potency. Potency is always determined by CBD per “serving” instead of CBD per container.
   
   Lastly, you’ll need to make a “judgment call” regarding things like vegan-friendly products. You should also consider if factors like scents or essential oils that can enhance the sensation of topical cream or lotion are important for you.

2. How to use CBD creams and balms for pain relief?

   In studies, CBD applied to the skin has been shown to help to reduce pain. Generally, CBD creams and balms are applied “as needed.” They are commonly used for general wellness and calming. However, athletes and people who train often find that topical CBD products are great for recovery. They can help to soothe sore muscles and joints following workouts.

3. How much CBD cream should you use?

   Generally, you’ll defer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer for the best results. Most products are intended to be applied every five to six hours.
