CBD Topical Cream/Ointment
CBD topical creams and ointments can help ease aches and pains. Find out more about CBD, it’s benefits, and how to use topical CBD to help your muscles heal faster and increase your recovery times.
What Is Topical CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol and is an active ingredient in cannabis. While many people use cannabis for its psychoactive properties, many patients find this substance useful in treating medical conditions, including chronic pain, autism, seizures, and ADHD.
The downside to taking cannabis for the above conditions is that you also ingest the psychoactive ingredients, too (namely, THC). Many patients don’t want to experience the ‘high’ of cannabis to get treatment.
Enter: CBD.
CBD offers all the benefits of cannabis, but it doesn’t need to contain any THC to work. CBD comes in many different forms, including tinctures, oils, capsules, patches, creams, and ointments.
Topical CBD is simply any type of cannabidiol that is applied topically to the skin.
