CBD oils and topical lotions are an effective way to manage pain for those with short-term ailments or chronic pain. The health benefits of CBD have long been put to use in the United Kingdom, where it can be legally used for pain management.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound that comes from a species of the cannabis plant. Sometimes referred to as medicinal cannabis, it does not contain the psychoactive element of marijuana - tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). So, while CBD products might have a calming effect, you won't get a 'high' sensation.

CBD works by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system that regulates sleep, mood, appetite, and even memory. It's is a powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory, but it's also thought to have analgesic properties to reduce pain.

Athletes with short-term muscle aches and pains can benefit from the topical application of cannabis products. CBD balms, salves, and gels are designed to be applied directly to the site of the pain. They get to work straight away for immediate relief from muscle and joint pain.

Established by two rugby players who wanted a natural product to help manage their symptoms, this popular range is helping customers to recover quicker from sporting injuries.

For those suffering with chronic pain, we recommend combining topical products with CBD tinctures. Available as drops or in a spray, they target the inner workings of your nervous system and its receptors. This is ideal for those suffering with neuropathic pain caused by an underlying condition such as multiple sclerosis.

Start with drops for an easy way to control the dosage. Gradually increase the amount you're taking every day until you work out the right amount for you. This is known as micro-dosing, it cuts down on waste and maximises the benefits of CBD.
