It is a growing trend that even your grandparents are on board with. CBD lotions are changing the way we manage our aches and pains. Whether it is due to older age or post work out recovery, CBD is combating inflammation and giving us some relief. This guide should help you know what to look for and help pick the right one from you.
What is CBD (Cannabidiol) lotion?
There are different types of CBD lotions. Some are made to improve your skin health, and some are made to target aches and pains. Usually, it is dependant on the other ingredients used to formulate the lotion. CBD Lotions, balms and other topicals that are meant to aid in pain relief tend to have menthol, arnica and other healing plants that are commonly known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Paired with CBD you get a powerhouse of plants localized on your aching joint to work some magic.
CBD lotions come in varying concentrations. Generally, CBD does not absorb into your skin easily. That is why picking a higher potency product (or nano CBD, but we will get into that later) will give you the best results when it comes to pain.
If you are unsure, ask to view the third-party lab test. Make sure the extracts the companies are choosing to use are quality, toxin free and that it is the type of CBD you are looking for.
Types of CBD (Cannabidiol) that can be found in products.
CBD isolate – CBD in its purest form. With no other cannabinoids, terpenes or flavonoids present.
Full Spectrum Hemp CBD – an extract that is highest in CBD but contains other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids including trace amounts of THC. (<0.3%)
