| CBD Oil Balm |
Cannabis topicals are
applied to the skin for direct application to the treatment area.
Creams and balms can penetrate through the skin and body tissue.
Patients use creams for treatment in arthritis, allergic skin
reactions, post herpes neuralgia, muscle strains, inflammation and
swelling. Topicals offer a non-phycho active medicine to the
patient.
Research is limited on the
many uses of cannabis topicals. Patients have been reported using
topicals for many treatments including:
• Arthritis
• Dermatitis and
psoriasis
• Wounds and cuts
• Muscle Pain
• Hemorrhoids
• Sore throat, bronchitis
• Menstrual cramping
• Glaucoma
• herpes, blisters and
lip aid
• pain from sprains and
breaks
• headaches
• breathing problems
Lotions
and balms offer localized treatment to the targeted area. The
cannabinoids work by targeting CB1
and CB2 receptors that are found all over the body including the
skin. Most patients use this method for it's anti-inflammatory and
pain relieving effects. Cannabis topicals often use a base of hemp
oil which is rich in Omega 3 and 6. These essential fatty acids are
beneficial for the health of your skin.
