It’s almost impossible to stroll through retailers or watch the news without the mention of CBD. Everything from lotion to sports drinks seems to have some hemp or cannabidiol integration, but what really is CBD?
For starters, let's get one thing clear: CBD does not get you “high”. It has been said to promote relaxation, relieve pain, and assist in post-workout recovery. It might even help your golf game.
Cannabidiol or CBD is a property of cannabis known for its healing properties. CBD is extracted from the hemp or cannabis plant and is just one of the several chemical compounds in the plant. THC is the intoxicating property from the cannabis plant and is not a component our hemp derived CBD products.
CBD has risen to popularity in both pop culture and alternative medicine circles. It's not unusual to see a coffee shop boasting CBD coffee while a senior citizen uses a CBD cream to treat arthritis. CBD has been said to reduce anxiety, inflammation, sleeplessness and alleviate chronic pain. Athletes have begun using CBD to assist with muscle recovery and pain management, and the product is also said to help regulate the immune system and suppress inflammatory responses, which can both help prevent and treat injuries.
Topical oils and lotions, which take the longest to be absorbed but have longer-lasting effects, are the easiest to start with and are known for calming skin and muscles, reducing redness and relieving pain. CBD has also become extremely common in beauty products with claims to treat acne, have anti-aging qualities or smooth skin. CBD lotions are often used in place of traditional liniments to relieve muscle aches and pains.
