What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is the most common joint disease, affecting almost one in two people over the age of fifty. Also known as osteoarthritis, it is a progressive degeneration and destruction of the cartilage in the joints.

There are inflammatory and non-inflammatory forms, and it is often associated with or the cause of other problems in the joint (effusions, synovitis, etc.).

The main factors are general (weight, age), genetic or linked to trauma. Affected joints are generally neither red nor hot, but over time the thickness of the cartilage is irreversibly reduced until it pinches the joint. When the cartilage disappears completely, the joint may become partially or totally impotent.

CBD for arthritis 

CBD is used to ease and help many health conditions, including insomnia, anxiety and depression, nausea and chronic pain.

While studies and medical trials are still in their infancy, the anecdotal health claims of the  benefits are promising.

The pain caused by arthritis is reported as debilitating and exhausting. Traditional medication for arthritis includes a mix of different options, yet long-term use is not really healthy or recommended due to its adverse side effects.

Alternatives like lifestyle changes and the use physio techniques are becoming favoured and recognised to help ease the pain the condition causes.

Natural medicines including CBD are popular as another option.

 

CBD for arthritis has become as a natural supplement.

 It is most widely used as an oral tincture (CBD drops) where it is absorbed into the bloodstream and is received by CBD receptors of the Endocannabinoid system.

The Endocannabinoid system regulates many of the different systems we have to control our natural functions, like Sleep, Anxiety, Pain, and Skin health.

There is research to suggest that by using CBD as a supplement it will support and balance these functions to maintain overall wellness, this is homeostasis.

CBD seems to block specific receptors that influence inflammation and pain within the body.

This affects the way receptors respond to signals that they receive, reducing both inflammation and pain.

CBD for arthritis- Chronic pain

Painkillers are widely used to manage the chronic pain caused by arthritis suffers. This is so people can bear the tasks of daily life or continue exercise and sleep comfortably. However, the side effects of ibuprofen or similar medications are damaging to long-term health.  

CBD oil and balm are both popular choices for many patients.

CBD balm

The balm can be absorbed into your skin and help reduce inflammation and pain.

You can apply CBD for arthritis relief directly to the area that hurts, such as your hands or knees, and massage it in gently.

CBD balm is a powerful product that works by interacting with the cannabinoid receptors present in the skin and underlying tissues. This unique interaction helps promote a sense of calm and relaxation while relieving discomfort and inflammation.

The Recovery Balm formula is made with 100% natural ingredients for an effective solution to the discomfort of arthritis pain.

CBD Oil

How do you use CBD oil for arthritis relief?

When administered sublingually, CBD oil is placed under the tongue and held for about 60 seconds before being swallowed. The capillaries under the tongue absorb the CBD into the bloodstream, providing a quick and effective action.

Once CBD is in the bloodstream, it moves throughout the body, including the joints. The active compounds in CBD interact with cannabinoid receptors found in the peripheral and central nervous system, including CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are involved in the regulation of pain and inflammation.

This can help reduce inflammation in the joints and improve joint mobility, which can provide effective relief for arthritis sufferers.
