How do you use CBD for your specific symptoms?
With the myriads of CBD products on the market, we can often become confused about which product to use for a given symptom. The nice thing about CBD is that it often works well for multiple symptoms and can be even more beneficial when paired with other natural remedies such as herbs, essential oils, healthy diet, and exercise.
Pain management is one of the most sought-after treatments yet more difficult to achieve consistently. When treating pain we try to select the proper product and application for the best relief possible. Often multiple CBD products can be used simultaneously to treat pain.
For a localized sore muscle or achy join, a simple topical application can be all you need to reduce pain for hours. Topical applications tend to work better with higher strength products such as our 4000mg Hemp Salve. We have witnessed treatments recede in a few minutes for arthritis patients and the same can be said for many painful conditions. Restless legs is another condition where a quick application of Hemp Salve has shown almost immediate treatment. Cancer patients also have reported relief from painful symptoms using Hemp Salve.
Hemp Salve is useful for general daily conditions such as exercise induced pain and soreness or swelling from overuse of joins and muscles. What’s important here is using a high-strength product. We generally recommend 2000mg per fluid ounce. Many brands only use 200mg to 500mg PER CONTAINER so it’s important to check the label.
If a user is treating pain that is more prevalent and widespread, we may recommend our high strength Hemp Drops combined with Hemp Salve. This is because it may be difficult to cover the entire area of treatment with a topical. Often pain stems from somewhere deep within the body such as the stomach pain or a headache. In this case a strong tincture like our 1500mg or 3000mg Hemp Drops will be more readily absorbed into the blood stream where it can reduce pain not near the surface of the body. It is best to use these daily for several weeks like a vitamin.
Other conditions such as anxiety, stress, sleep disorders and more may be more readily treated by Hemp Drops or Hemp Gummies where orally ingesting the medicine is the best approach. It’s unlikely that rubbing a CBD topical on your head will achieve relief from these symptoms, because less of the product gets absorbed through when applied to the skin.
Combining CBD with other natural remedies can prove a to be a winning strategy. We include white willow bark and a blend of other herbs infused into our Hemp Salve to provide even more benefits than with CBD alone. As with most holistic treatments, the effects of these treatments often prove more beneficial together than either would be alone. The same can be said with treating anxiety and stress using a holistic approach. You are likely to get better results when combining CBD with regular exercise, eating healthy and daily sun exposure than you would with any of those treatments alone.
Regardless of your condition, it is important to match the proper delivery mechanism (salve, drops, gummies) to the treatment needed. As is typical with many things in life, a holistic approach using several natural remedies and practicing preventative care will likely increase the effectiveness.
