More and more people are discovering the benefits of cannabis topicals.
One of the many advantages of topicals is that they provide the rewards of cannabinoids and terpenes without the psychoactive effects.
This allows dosing multiple times throughout the day without negatively impacting focus, mood or motor skills. People can apply the topicals without interrupting daily activity. Because the topicals normally contain essential oils such as lavender and eucalyptus, they tend to smell less like marijuanna and more pleasing. As the market expands, options for tinctures has increased to include balms, sprays, oils, roll-ons, ointments and bath bombs. Cannabis-infused topicals are showing up in beauty regimens for anti-aging. Plus, cannabinoids can be helpful in reducing the production of sebum, which is the oil responsible for causing acne. CBD in particular is used to treat inflammation and chronic pain. Cannabis topicals are proving successful in alleviating the pain and stiffness from arthritis, intensive workouts, nerve pain, joint pain and injury. They can assist with bone-healing, sunburn, insect bites, menstrual cramps and poison ivy. Specific strains are targeted at eczema and psoriasis. The soothing properties of cannabis topicals make them ideal as an insomnia and migraine remedy. The cannabinoids are quickly absorbed and work by interacting with receptors beneath the skin for localized relief. The effects can often be felt for approximately four hours. Full-spectrum topicals as well as blends of THC and CBD are combined with whole-plant nutrients to cater to specific needs. Cannabis-infused topicals are proven effective and are also affordable. No extra gear is required, and there is no mess, ash or smoke generated. For anyone who is a little reluctant to try cannabis, topicals are a great way to get started.
