Pain and Inflammation:
Topical preparations are commonly used for muscle or inflammatory body pain. Their effect may last for 2-3 hours.
If you are looking to use CBD for muscle, inflammatory pain relief, we recommend starting with the topical applications to reduce the risk of side effects with the oil which include diarrhea and drowsiness.
Skin Care:
The skin is rich in CB1 and CB2 endocannabinoid receptors - which is why CBD topicals may be useful. Sebocytes (the cells which make up the sebaceous gland, responsible for secreting the oil/sebum that keeps skin smooth and supple) absorb cannabinoids via hair follicles.
This effect means that CBD can help moderate oil production, increasing or decreasing it as needed - useful for a wide variety of skin ailments.
