Do Cannabis Topicals Work?

Do Cannabis Topicals Work?

There are plenty of benefits that come with using cannabis topicals such as pain relief, inflammation relief, and more. They act as lubricants that penetrate the surface layer of the skin and once they hit the bloodstream they bind with cannabinoid receptors in your endocannabinoid system. The effects of a topical typically take about an hour to kick in and they come in many forms, some containing only CBD and others containing both CBD and THC.

Learn more about cannabis topicals, how they work, and the forms they come in, with the help of Strains Dispensary.

How to Use Cannabis Topicals

Cannabis topicals can aid with many different things including skin conditions, pain and inflammation, treating migraines, and reducing acne. If you are new to using topicals try applying a small amount to an area of the skin and see if there is any kind of reaction before going for the full recommended dose on the label.

For the best results you should be consistent with usage, users also report that they feel the most relief when using topicals in the morning or at bedtime.

Types of Topicals

Whether you are going for a strictly CBD topical or want something that also contains THC, there are so many options to choose from including:

Creams and Lotions- easy to apply on the body and great for those seeking skin benefits
Oils- great for versatile uses like applying to the skin or even ingesting orally
Salves- works well for psoriasis and eczema
Gels- provides a cooling effect making it an excellent option for headaches
Transdermal Patches- the most powerful form of topicals and has the potential for psychoactive effects

Common Types of Cannabis Topicals

Common Types of Cannabis Topicals

Cannabis topicals are a great way to relieve pain or help with skin conditions for those who do not want to experience the intoxicating effects of ingesting THC. There are many different types of cannabis infused topicals that can be applied in different ways.

If you are interested in learning more about cannabis topicals, you are in the right place. Here at Strains Dispensary we’ve provided a breakdown of the most common forms of topicals and included a few of our recommendations.

Salves and Balms

Salves and balms are highly concentrated topicals that can be applied directly to the skin for relieving effects. Your body’s endocannabinoid system is very involved in pain perception, pain response, and inflammation. The endocannabinoid system contains receptors that are able to absorb the CBD or THC infused topicals. Once absorbed the cannabis topicals can help bring down inflammation and help with muscle tension. A few examples of infused balms and salves include:

Lotions and Oils

CBD or THC infused oils, lotions, or serums can help calm breakouts and irritation since they act as an anti-inflammatory. This can also lead to reducing the signs of aging and redness. Studies have also shown that skincare topicals can help with more serious conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. We recommend trying out the following lotions and oils:

Common Ways to Consume Cannabis

Common Ways to Consume Cannabis

Whether you are new to the world of cannabis and wondering what’s out there or you are an avid smoker looking for something new to try, you’re in the right place. Cannabis comes in many forms and can be consumed in many different ways as well. Exploring the different options that are out there can be exciting and even lead you to a better experience with cannabis.

Find out what the common ways are to consume cannabis and what the benefits are for each, right here at Strains Dispensary.

Vaping

Vaping cannabis consists of using a vape pen which heats up the cannabis to a controlled temperature. Once it reaches peak temperature the cannabis vaporizes, allowing you to breathe it in and inhale. Vaping is beneficial because it keeps the actual smoke out of your lungs, it’s discreet, and it’s easy to do.

Edibles

Edibles are available in the form of candy, cookies, snacks, drinks, and so much more. They tend to be more potent and the effects take longer to kick in so it’s important to make sure you are controlling the dosage. Edibles are very discreet, have longer lasting effects, and come in many varieties.

Smoking Cannabis Flower

When you smoke cannabis flower you have many options to choose from such as smoking from a bong, blunt, joint, or bowl. All of these methods involve grinding up the flower, lighting it, and smoking it. Smoking cannabis flower makes it easier to find the right dose and control your experience. Smoking also works quickly and it only takes a few hours for the effects to wear off.

Topicals

Cannabis topicals are a great resource for those looking for pain relief without the intoxicating effects that cannabis can have if consumed orally or by inhalation. Topicals come in the form of balms, lotions, salves, and more that you can apply directly over joints and muscles. The application is fast and easy and there are various THC and CBD formulas available.

Advantages of CBD Topicals

Have you ever wondered about CBD topicals and if they can work for you? A CBD topical is any kind of cream, lotion, or salve that’s infused with CBD and can be applied directly to the skin.

There are plenty of health conditions that can benefit from CBD topicals. If you’re interested in experimenting with CBD topicals, Strains Dispensary is here to go over some of the advantages to using them as well as some of the different forms they come in.

Pain and Inflammation Relief

Two of the primary benefits of CBD topicals are pain and inflammation relief. CBD (Cannabidol) has natural anti-inflammatory properties that can even help with treating certain skin conditions.

CBD topicals can boost skin hydration and elasticity to help relieve pain and itching from Eczema and Psoriasis.

Cooling cannabis gels are also very beneficial when it comes to relieving headaches and migraine pain.

Anxiety and Depression

The human body has many different receptors which are protein-based chemical structures that are attached to your cells. CBD is thought to interact with your CB1 and CB2 receptors which can alter serotonin levels to aid in depression and anxiety relief.

Skin Care Benefits

CBD topical products not only have anti-inflammatory capabilities but they are also rich in vitamins and antioxidants which can help reduce acne and provide clear glowing skin.

CBD topicals can also help reduce scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles as well as reduce the visual impact of sun damage to the skin.

Types of CBD Topicals

There are many different forms of topicals such as creams, lotions, and balms. A few of the more well-known topicals include:

CBD Oil- the most common of topical CBD products, oil can be applied right to the skin and is the best for relieving pain and inflammation
Cooling Gels- these can help ease headaches and migraines or can be used for arthritis and joint pain
Cannabis Butters- usually in the form of body butter and made with moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera and almond oil which can be great for healing scars and keeping the skin radiant
