Doctor recommended, and now affordable! ***ETA formulation changed. Less CBD content.
My mom's neurologist recommended CBD patches to address her stress, anxiety and Parkinson's symptoms. She explained that oils, capsules and other edibles aren't as effective as transdermal delivery--you lose a lot of CBD to the digestive process before it makes it to your bloodstream. And patches are better than salves and creams because it's easier to control dosage.  The problem was, the patches I found at Colorado dispensaries and hemp-based CBD shops were prohibitively expensive. Mary's Medicinals patches, while the quality is excellent, are only 10 mg CBD and they cost $10 per patch, making daily use for mom unaffordable.  These patches can be cut in quarters for 25 mg or even smaller, and the price becomes much more affordable.  I've been trying them on myself to address stress-related aches and pains and sleeplessness, and they definitely help!  I'm buying more so Mom can try them!<br /><br />ETA. When I first bought this the packaging said it was oil derived from the flowers, leaves and stalk of the plant. Now it just says it’s hemp SEED oil. If I understand correctly, the CBD is derived from the flowers, leaves and stalk. There is SOME in the seed but oil made of hemp seed only will not contain as much CBD.  Maybe there are other benefits, but if you’re after CBD this makes a difference. I’ve contacted the company to see what they say. I’ll ask them to answer publicly here as well.
