How to Use Patches with CBD for Pain Relief
There’s a new way to spell pain relief, and that’s C-B-D.
What do we mean by that? Well, there’s a lot packed into those three little letters, which stand for cannabidiol — otherwise known as a natural derivative of the hemp plant. CBD has been known to help treat different types of pain, from post-workout muscle soreness to arthritis and a few things in between.
CBD for Pain Relief: Here’s What You Should Know
When it comes to managing pain, CBD works a little differently than your average pain-relieving medication. How? Cannabidiol works by stimulating receptors in the “cell signaling system” of your body, known as the endocannabinoid system. When CBD hits these receptors, it triggers an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving response. Voila, pain relief!
The great thing about CBD for pain relief is that it can help relieve multiple kinds of pain without becoming habit-forming. From intermittent pain (like sore muscles after a hard workout) to chronic pain and even illness-related pain, there are so many ways this hemp compound can help you, well, feel better.
Different Types of Pain CBD Can Help With
In a 2018 study, researchers looked at the effects of CBD on three different types of pain: neuropathic pain, cancer pain, and fibromyalgia. They found that cannabinoids can act across multiple pain targets and receptors to reduce pain. And while the verdict is still out on the true and total effectiveness of CBD, the future looks promising as cannabidiol’s popularity continues to soar.
So, what types of pain can CBD help relieve? We took a look at some of the most common culprits:
Post-Workout Soreness
The dreaded DOMS (or delayed onset muscle soreness) is definitely a thing, as anyone who engages in regular physical activity can tell you. CBD has been known to help alleviate post-workout pain.
General Muscle Aches & Pains
Maybe your knee hurts when it rains. Maybe you have an old sports injury that triggers some discomfort. Maybe your back hurts from sitting in an office chair all day. Whatever the reason, CBD can help alleviate those everyday aches and pains that come along with living your life by acting as an anti-inflammatory.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain affects about 50 million U.S. adults. In addition to being a literal pain in the neck for this 20% of the population, it’s also linked to high health care costs and lost productivity. CBD can come in handy for managing this type of pain, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, and more.
Pain Related to Stress & Anxiety
Sometimes, mental distress can trigger physical pain. Depression can cause chronic joint pain, limb pain, back pain, gastrointestinal problems, and more — stress and anxiety can manifest in a similar way. CBD not only helps with the pain aspect but can help relieve symptoms associated with stress and anxiety, too.
