There are numerous CBD topicals on the market including lotions, creams, salves and oils. These CBD topical products offer local-acting relief on the surface of the skin or a little if the topical absorbs. These products typically contain CBD as well as a number of other natural ingredients in them.
CBD topicals are popular with sports and post-exercise applications due to their local effect. Unlike CBD oils, the topical offers a targeted application in the area it is applied and does not enter your bloodstream. For example, if you are using a CBD topical on your knee, you will feel the wellness benefits around your knee area only. Numerous professional sports players use CBD, including Carli Lloyd and Megan Rapinoe (US Women’s Football), indicating its wellness benefits.
CBD topicals are good for targeting a specific area of the body. Since topicals are non-ingestible, this is a preferred product type for those that feel uncomfortable with consuming CBD orally. The CBD does not enter the bloodstream and offers a local relieving effect that supports wellness in the desired area of the body.
You cannot get high from CBD topicals, because you are applying the product to your skin instead of ingesting them. The majority of CBD topical products in the UK are made with CBD isolate, which contain no THC. However the most effective topicals contain trace amounts of THC in them, which works synergistically with CBD. Even with trace amounts of THC, you will not be able to get high from a CBD topical.
Each CBD topical is different and depends on the amount of CBD and other ingredients in the product. There are no official guidelines for CBD topicals and you should aim to figure out the right dose through experimentation. You can apply a small amount to the affected area and wait at least 1 hour to see if it makes a difference. Apply more if needed and the effects have not been felt.
