Top 5 CBD Creams

Yes – studies have shown CBD is significantly safer than many over the counter and prescription drugs. There have been no documented cases of CBD overdose deaths. Compared to a common drug like acetaminophen (Tylenol), which is responsible for nearly 80,000 ER visits in the U.S. each year, CBD is a very safe painkiller. 

Simply apply the CBD salve or balm to an injured limb, aching joints or wherever else you’re hurting to deliver targeted relief where you need it most. CBD, as well as the many other beneficial cannabinoids, vitamins, minerals and terpenes found in full-spectrum CBD products, can have many restorative and pain-relieving effects for people struggling with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid or osteoarthritis or inflammation. 

The CBD in topical ointments, salves and creams penetrate deep enough to affect the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the skin, but not so deep that the CBD enters the bloodstream, which is why CBD topicals are ideal for localized pain and inflammation relief. 

No, CBD creams, balms and other topical ointments contain .03 percent THC or less. THC – the psychoactive cannabinoid – is not present in high enough concentrations to get users high. Due to the localized effects of topical products and their inability to reach the bloodstream, any THC present in CBD topical treatments won’t result in any full-body effects. 

Many pain and arthritis patients who use CBD creams and oils are convinced of their effectiveness for providing localized pain relief and reducing joint inflammation. 

Researches have studied the effects of CBD topical ointments by administering a CBD topical gel to arthritic rats. The rats exhibited significant signs of pain relief and a measurable drop in inflammation. More studies are in the works thanks to the rapidly increasing interest in CBD creams and the widening use of these life-enhancing CBD products.
