CBD Topicals: Local Application For Pain And Inflammation
7 May 2021For the best in natural skincare, you choose a product with CBD as the main active compound. CBD does more than keep your skin nourished, soft, and supple, however; CBD Salve can also be used to help ease pain and inflammation of the skin and joints. Rubbing CBD products onto painful or irritated spots allows this helpful cannabinoid to work locally. Salves with local effects are also called ‘topicals’. CBD Topicals are good for much more than skincare alone. As topicals, CBD Salve is highly suited for use with conditions like psoriasis, arthrosis, and eczema, as well as with scratches, burns, sprains and bruises. That makes CBD Topicals very handy to have close at hand anywhere; including at the gym, on the road, and around children at play!
Is CBD Cream A CBD Topical?
If you are looking for CBD skincare products, SupMedi CBD Salve is an excellent choice. It is rich in nurturing ingredients such as argan oil, vitamin E, and CBD oil, making CBD Salve suitable for use as a CBD topical, by applying it locally against pain, inflammation, scratches, bruises, and other minor injuries. That makes our CBD Salve extra handy to keep nearby wherever you go. Keep it with your beauty products as natural nourishing skincare, but also be sure to have it around for first aid in case of (sports) injuries, bumps and bruises, or minor accidents in and around the house.
CBD Salve: Good For Skincare, Great As A CBD Topical
Instead of water, salves contain oils and wax that extend a firmer substance than that of creams. Although the active components are rapidly absorbed by the skin, a salve’s thicker consistency allows it to remain on the skin surface for longer, thus extending its active effectiveness. This is very useful for skincare that lasts for hours, but it has additional benefits besides. CBD Salve can be applied to aching joints and painful spots as a topical CBD product, allowing it to provide long-term relief through the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of cannabidiol.
CBD Cream: Natural, Rapid, Dedicated Skincare
Creams are manufactured out of water, oils, and wax. Their water content makes them perfect for skin hydration. They are easy to apply, feel comfortable on the skin, and enable rapid absorption of active ingredients. Creams are great for treating dry and irritated skin. The rapid effects of CBD Cream are convenient for treating sudden rough patches, dry spots, and itches. It is meant for everyday facial skincare according to the very highest standards. For topical treatment of bruises, painful joints, or minor skin inflammation, the shorter duration of topical effects makes CBD Cream less suited for use as a CBD Topical than CBD Salve, however.
How Do CBD Topicals Work?
CBD (cannabidiol) can be used in several ways. The best-known way is taking CBD Oil or CBD Tablets by oral consumption. The cannabinoid is absorbed into the bloodstream, from which it can affect the entire body by means of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). However, if you use CBD Salve as a topical, CBD does not enter the bloodstream at all.
The nerve cell receptors of the ECS extend all throughout the body, including the skin. Skin tissue in fact contains very high concentrations of these receptors, allowing cannabidiol do make its effects felt. Rubbing CBD Salve onto your skin allows the cannabidiol to act immediately, in exactly the right place.
CBD Topicals As Skincare, Painkillers, And Anti-Inflammatory Supplements
First and foremost, CBD Cream can be used for everyday skincare. This natural skincare product ensures optimal nourishment and repair in case of redness, dryness, and irritation of the skin. This helps keep your skin soft and supple while it promotes enduring youthful looks.
CBD Topicals For Bruises, Sprains, And (Sports) Injuries
The pain-relieving properties of CBD can come in very handy in case of injuries and bruises incurred during exercise and sports matches. The big advantage of CBD topicals is the ease and speed of application; right where you need it most. Even after workouts, CBD topicals can help reduce or even prevent muscle aches by promoting muscle tissue recovery. That’s why it’s always a good idea to slip some CBD Salve n your sports bag – and to bring it along on family outings or whenever kids are having fun at the playground or the football pitch.
CBD Topicals For Chafed Skin And Burns
CBD helps the skin recover after injuries; whether these are scratches, chafed skin, or burns (including sunburn). Do keep in mind, however, that CBD Skincare products do not contain SPF sun protection; proper sunscreen is still necessary for sun lovers. The cream or salve supports the repair process, as well as boosting the immune system of the skin cells. On top of that, the analgesic effects of CBD are indispensable whenever minor injuries occur. Be careful in applying CBD topicals, though: rubbing cream or salve directly into open wounds is never a good idea as it interferes with the healing process. Still, CBD can provide relief in the area around the injury, increasing the natural restorative capacity of the surrounding skin tissue in the process.
CBD Topicals For Arthrosis, Rheumatism, And Joint Aches
Rheumatism and arthrosis involve severely aching joints. In case of rheumatism, these aches are caused by inflammation of the mucous membranes around the joints, usually underpinned by auto-immune responses. In case of arthrosis, the ligaments inside the joints degrade, resulting in pain and inflammation. Neither condition can be cured. Still, inflammation of the wrists, knees, or elbows can be frustrating and painful enough even in the absence of these conditions. Here too, CBD topicals can provide relief.
CBD-based salves can help ease pain and inflammation because of the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of cannabidiol. Applying CBD topicals to such aching spots can hep ease the pain and may help control the inflammation. They can be used to treat painful knees, shoulders, wrists, and basically any joint affected by inflammation.
CBD Skincare For Eczema And Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an auto-immune condition causing the cells of the skin to reproduce unchecked. This process may result in swellings of the skin and underlying tissue. Skin can start to flake and appear red and bloated. Affected spots feel painful and itchy. In case of eczema, red and irritated skin is also caused by inflammation.
For both conditions, CBD Salve products can be used as a topical to ease the symptoms. In addition to potentially reducing redness, pain, and itches caused by inflammation, CBD can help control excessive immune responses, allowing the skin to recover while possibly reducing cell reproduction.
CBD Cream And Salve As Naturally Nurturing CBD Topicals
As you can see, choosing CBD Salve for use as a topical in case of pain and inflammation is a good idea. Painful spots can be treated directly and locally while your skin benefits from the properties of cannabidiol. As an added bonus, CBD processed in topicals does not enter the bloodstream, preventing it from affecting any regular medication you are taking. Try SupMedi CBD Salve for yourself, and experience what this cannabinoid topical can do for your skin, aching joints, and other injuries.
