There is still some negative stigma attached to CBD but you may have heard about the numerous health benefits that CBD products offer users. Many people assume that CBD can be consumed only by smoking cannabis or by ingesting CBD oils. However, this miraculous compound is extracted and sold in a wide variety of products that can be purchased from retailers such as Nothing But Hemp.

Many individuals have begun purchasing and using topical products containing CBD, such as topical CBD oil, CBD lotions, CBD salves, and CBD coconut oil topical. These offer many of the health advantages of ordinary CBD oil, but do not require the product to be ingested orally. Let’s look at some topical uses for CBD.

How do Topical CBD Products Work?

Before discussing the various ways to use topical CBD products, you may be interested in learning how these products work.

When ordinary CBD oil is ingested orally, it is absorbed by our digestive system and enters the hepatic portal system which carries it into the liver. The liver metabolizes CBD and the remainder is passed into your bloodstream.

Topical CBD is absorbed through a different organ: the skin. Yes, it may surprise you to learn that skin is considered one the body’s organs. In fact, it is the largest organ you have, weighing up to 8 pounds and covering a surface area of approximately 22 square feet.

Topical CBD is applied by rubbing the product onto your skin, similar to how you would apply an ordinary lotion or balm. Human skin has a low permeability to prevent contaminants from the surrounding environment from getting into your body. This means your skin will absorb a relatively minor percentage of any CBD you rub onto it.

However, the CBD that is absorbed does not need to get into your bloodstream to take effect. Once it passes through the skin’s surface, the CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in your skin and starts producing the desired health effects.

Effects of CBD Topicals

CBD topicals offer many therapeutic benefits. These include:

1. Relieving Arthritis Pain

Many studies have found that ingesting CBD oil may help reduce pain for arthritis patients. This effect has also been observed for CBD gels that are applied topically. If you suffer from this painful condition, you may be able to reduce the swelling with the help of topical CBD

This offers patients an alternative to the medications used to help with arthritis such as analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and opioids. Opioids are considered especially risky to use as they can be addictive, and may cause death if patients overdoseproducts.

CBD is not believed to be addictive, which may make it safer than some of the aforementioned medications.

1. Combating Inflammation in Acne

Acne breakouts can be a persistent problem for many teenagers and young adults. These can occur without warning and last for weeks before subsiding. After a breakout, acne often becomes inflamed, which can cause skin redness, irritation, and itchiness.

Acne is usually caused by excess oil and dead skin cells clogging up the pores of your skin. This problem can be remedied by keeping your skin clean; however, your body will continue producing oils that cause acne.

Studies have found that CBD topical products not only reduce acne inflammation, they also slow down the oil production that leads to acne in the first place. A study also found that CBD may help promote wound healing, which could reduce the prevalence of acne scars.

1. Helping Ease Symptoms of Epidermolysis Bullosa

Epidermolysis Bullosa is a group of rare genetic conditions that make the skin fragile and blister easily. These blisters can be incredibly painful for people with this condition. Epidermolysis Bullosa cannot be cured, so patients must focus on treating their existing blisters and preventing new ones from forming.

CBD topicals may be able to help such patients due their inflammation reducing properties. A study found that one patient was able to wean themselves off opioid analgesic medication by treating their skin using CBD topicals. Other patients in the study also reported faster wound healing times and an improvement in physical pain after using CBD topicals.

1. Assisting with Treatment of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a skin condition in which the body’s skin cells multiply at a much faster rate than average. This condition often causes the build up of bumpy red marks around the body. These usually occur around the elbows, knees, and head.

Most of the treatments for this condition involve the use of topical products such as corticosteroids, retinoids, and anthralin. However, it is believed that CBD topicals may also help with treatment.

CBD could help Psoriasis patients by slowing down the production of the body’s skin cells. Its inflammation combating properties may also reduce the itching associated with the condition.

Ingesting CBD Oil vs Using CBD Topicals

After learning about the aforementioned effects of CBD topicals, you may be wondering if you should swap out your CBD oils with these products. While both these CBD product types offer therapeutic benefits, they do differ in some ways.

The most obvious difference is that CBD topicals tend to produce effects only in the skin areas where they have been applied, while CBD oils produce effects throughout the body after being ingested.

Another difference is that CBD topicals may produce a less pronounced effect due to the skin’s slow CBD absorption rate. For this reason, you may need to apply a large quantity of CBD topicals to feel effects as potent as with ingesting a standard dose of CBD oil.

“Hỡi mỗi người trong anh em, hãy ăn năn và chịu phép báp têm, cầu xin nhân danh Đức Chúa Jêsus Christ để được tha tội. Và mỗi người sẽ nhận được ân điển Chúa Thánh Linh. "

(Acts 2 - #Pentecost Phi-e-rơ)

Vì lời tiên tri không bao giờ có nguồn gốc từ ý muốn của con người, nhưng các nhà tiên tri, mặc dù là con người, đã nói từ Đức Chúa Trời khi họ được Đức Thánh Linh dẫn dắt".
