CBD for pain relief

Pain can make you miserable, CBD balm could be the answer you are looking for.

Spread the word

With so many more people looking for a natural way to relieve pain rather than reaching for the over-the-counter pills, it’s no wonder that CBD topical products are becoming popular. So, how does CBD balm or CBD cream relieve pain relief?

Studies have shown that CBD has anti-inflammatory properties that benefit effect patients with neuropathic and radicular pain [1]. Another study found that patients who had problems in the arm, shoulder and hand gained more motion, grip and pinch strength after using CBD balm. [2].

It is thought that 8.75 million people over 45 in the UK, have osteoarthritis which is the leading cause of pain and disability [3].

How does CBD balm or cream work?

CBD balm or cream works by binding with the cannabinoid receptors located throughout the body, which play a role in managing the body’s natural ability to regulate pain and inflammation.

CBD topical products do not enter the bloodstream, instead they are applied directly to the pain point, focusing relief exactly where needed.

How do you apply CBD balm or CBD cream?

To get the best results, massage the CBD balm or cream directly into the area in which you have the pain. Don’t just rub it in, massage it. Massaging will promote blood circulation and enhances the effects of the CBD product. You can apply CBD balm as and when required throughout the day since it doesn’t enter the blood stream. Taylor’s CBD Balm and Taylor’s CBD Cream with 1000mg of CBD, work quickly to relieve inflammation and pain.

How quickly will the CBD balm or CBD cream work?

Everyone is different but you should start to notice a difference within 15 minutes. Pain relief can last hours but when you do start to feel pain again, reapply. Keep by your bed so if you wake up during the night with pain, you can reach for your CBD balm.
