There are lots of ways to use cannabidiol (CBD), but when applied to the skin, CBD Joint Gel works in several ways. First is the rubbing action associated with massaging it in. This soothing motion stimulates the nerve endings which helps reduce discomfort by overwhelming the pain signals. When combined with active ingredients such as menthol this can work wonders and providing a natural alternative to help support the highs and lows of an active lifestyle.
CBD also interacts with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) which has receptors throughout the body, including in skin cells and nerve fibres. This distribution of cannabinoid receptors in the skin allows topical CBD products to have a localised effect. Our CBD Joint Gel can be used in addition to CBD capsules or oils but it can also be used on its own if you’re not a fan of the taste and flavour of CBD Oils.
