Topicals
Topicals are cannabis-infused lotions, balms, and oils that are absorbed through the skin for localized relief of pain, soreness, and inflammation. Cannabis has been used to treat and soothe the body by cultures around the world for millennia, from the ancient Chinese to the Native Americans. Today’s cannabis brands are continuing this work while enhancing their craft with current knowledge of cannabis compounds and how they interact with the human body. Perhaps nowhere is this modern take better viewed than in the world of cannabis topicals.
Cannabis infused balms, lotions, salves, suppositories, transdermal patches, bath products—are a great entry point into cannabis wellness and are popularly used for targeted relief and recovery after workouts.
Crafted with a rich array of cannabinoids and therapeutic botanicals, cannabis-infused topicals are a popular way to manage everyday aches and pains, menstrual cramps, migraines and sore muscles. Also used for skin conditions such as psoriasis and sunburn, topicals are applied directly to the skin to provide localized relief.
Topicals contain CBD, an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. The THC in topicals will not get you high and has shown to help reduce the sensation of pain. Topicals also contain anti-inflammatory botanical terpenes. Many products contain essential oils to create an overall soothing experience.
There are a variety of forms, including lotions, balms, salves, lubricants, transdermal patches, bath products and suppositories.
