Topicals

CBD and THC Cannabis Topicals

The use of Cannabis Topicals dates back thousands of years. In fact, they are one of the first recorded methods of Cannabis use. Ancient Egyptians praised Cannabis for its healing abilities. They recorded methods of using it to improve over-all eye health and combat glaucoma. But what are they exactly?

A Topical is a Cannabis product designed to be applied directly to the skin. Simply rub the product into the affected area, and you will begin to feel the soothing effects within minutes.

Topicals offer a quick and effective method of providing pain relief, without the added mental and euphoric effects. This makes them appeal to a wider demographic of users. Topicals bond with the receptors in your skin, working locally, and don’t generally make their way into your blood stream. As a result, you can use them in almost any environment.

Healing Benefits

As we mentioned before, Cannabis Topicals bind with the receptors in your skin. Our skin is covered in tiny Cannabinoid receptors that are quickly activated by CBD. In addition, our skin has many other receptors which are also targeted by Topicals. The combined effects provide excellent anti-inflammatory properties, while drastically reducing pain.

Topicals provide quick and easy relief from headaches and tension, and are often used to relieve muscle soreness, cramping and pain. They are also widely used to improve overall skin health, while combating skin irritations like psoriasis and dermatitis. Their balance of healing properties is perfect for reducing redness and inflammation while also providing soothing effects. As a result, one of their most popular uses is skin care. Cannabis Topicals also have incredible restorative properties and are commonly used to assist in the healing of burns.

Finding the best Topicals for you

Topicals come in a wide variety of forms. They range from balms and salves to easily used roll on sticks. Due to their varied states, they also have many different combinations of ingredients. Some products might contain oils or other agents that may cause a reaction. When choosing a Topical, consider what your needs are to ensure you pick the one that is right for you.

Most products work quickly, which will provide you with an accurate measure of how effective they are. If you are still experiencing discomfort, simply reapply. There is no fear of overuse.
