Why You Should Try CBD Topicals
Bloom Farms CBD Sport Stick Review
To know me is to know I’m always sore and that I love CBD….
Whether I’m on the mat at home, on the pilates equipment at the studio or hiking around the urban jungle of NYC- I’m always using my muscles to the max.
CBD has been my go to for recovery and Bloom Farms is my brand.
As an ambassador for them I had the opportunity to try out their Recover CBD Balm Stick
A CBD topical is any balm, lotion, or salve that’s infused with CBD and is applied directly to the skin.
Because of the schedule 1 status on hemp and marijuana research is still its early stages.
However the research we do have on CBD is very promising.
A 2016 study done on rats discovered that CBD topicals helped to manage arthritis pain and inflammation. In 2018 The American Academy of Dermatology had mentioned using CBD topical products as treatment for acne, eczema, and psoriasis at their annual meeting.
CBD’s effectiveness, however, varies depending on a variety of factors, like the quality and source and dosage.
With Bloom Farms every topical begins with their ultra premium oil thats cleanly extracted from the finest American grown hemp.
They work with responsible farmers who share their views on responsible agriculture, the environment, and their community. Proprietary herbal blends and other key ingredients enhance every synergistic formula to produce a greater effect than each alone, especially when combined with our organically grown hemp extracts
And know they are a 1-1 company fighting for Zero hunger in the bay area where they are based.
You can use topical CBD the way you would a lotion to help reduce stress, discomfort, and normal inflammation.
The great thing about topical CBD is that it doesn’t enter the bloodstream when you apply it, meaning it just targets the specific area you apply it to.
CBD works by activating the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for the sensations of pleasure and pain. It does this by binding to cell receptors in muscle tissue, skin and nerves. This, in turn, can alleviate both pain and inflammation.
CBD balms or topicals bypasses the CB1 and CB2 receptors and heads straight for a neurotransmitter middleman that blocks signals for pain and itch by working through agents called anandamide and 2-AG. Sidestepping the CB1 and CB2 receptors means that CBD can mute pain without the high sensation delivered by THC
When I applied the CBD Balm Stick to my sore glutes neck and back I felt relief right away!
When you ingest the oils or anything with it- like a gummy or capsule- it would take a bit to enter your bloodstream and for you to feel the effects. For sore muscles I would def recommend that you try out Blooms Balm!
