Joint pain affects an estimated 54 million people in the U.S. Managing your pain requires a comprehensive pain treatment strategy.

HOW DOES CBD OIL WORK?

cbd oil for joint pain

The 2018 Farm Bill made CBD oil with a THC content of less that 0.3% legal across the U.S. This allows more people to enjoy the health benefits of this plant.

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is extracted from the leaves, stems, and flower of the hemp plant. In addition to the CBD oil itself, this extract includes minor cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes that work together to provide additional health benefits. This is referred to as the “entourage effect.” The entourage effect of full-spectrum CBD oil allows each compound to work better together.

But how does it work?

The endocannabinoid system is the largest system in the body. It functions as a feedback or adaptive system through cellular signaling or communication. This system has two primary types of receptors (CB1 and CB2) that connect to the brain, peripheral nervous system, and immune system,  Research has revealed there are a lot more receptors that are modulated by plant cannabinoids too, like TRPV1 and 2, PPARS, GPC55, GPR18, GPC119, CBD is an agonist of the 5-HT1A receptor also. Your CB1 receptors affect things like mood, appetite, and memory. CB2 receptors in the immune system govern your pain and inflammation response. CBD oil supports these receptors not only to control pain and inflammation, but also to prompt the body to release more natural cannabinoids.

Unlike THC, which works on the CB1 receptors, CBD oil is non-intoxicating and does not produce the stereotypical “high.” 

HEALTH BENEFITS

CBD capitalizes on many potential health benefits. To start the properties of CBD may help relieve inflammation and pain due to the following conditions:

  • Arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

The compounds in the hemp plant and a full spectrum CBD oil like Seed2System’s have strong antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. This could be why people report so many anecdotal successes. 

THE RESEARCH BEHIND CBD 

Research is discovering that CBD works on pain and inflammation in a variety of ways. The latest research suggests that:

HOW TO USE CBD OIL
You may take CBD oil for joint pain in a number of ways, including tinctures, capsules and topical salves. This is how each delivery method works. With each of these, work with your doctor to find the best dosage and method.

TINCTURE

Tinctures are concentrated forms of CBD oil usually found in one- or two-ounce bottles. The most common delivery systems are a spray or dropper that you may use as needed.

Seed2System offers two flavors of our tinctures, mint or a natural flavor. Our 600 mg bottle is good for those just beginning to explore the potential benefits of CBD oil for joint pain, and our 1500 mg tincture may help with ongoing management of chronic pain conditions.

TOPICAL CBD

Topical CBD salves are applied directly to skin. This type of application works well not only for inflammation that is contributing to pain but also for sore muscles and recovery. Massage into the skin or sore joint. Apply frequently or as needed.

Many topicals, like our cayenne peppermint and lavender CBD slaves, also contain other beneficial herbs and extracts, including:

  • Arnica—works on inflammation
  • Peppermint—soothes fatigued or inflamed muscles
  • Cayenne—contains capsaicin which may alleviate joint pain
  • Lavender—provides relaxing relief to reduce pain

WHAT’S THE BEST CBD SERVING SIZE? Many people using CBD oil wonder what the correct serving is for them. At Seed2System, we know that the best serving is the one that works for each individual person. Everyone’s body responds to plants differently, and CBD for joint pain is no exception.

If they occur at all, CBD side effects are minimal. It’s important to work closely with your doctor to find the right serving for you. In addition to helping you find the best serving, your doctor may evaluate any potential adverse interactions with other medications you may be taking. It’s always best to start with a lower serving  and then work your way up, if unsure.

It’s also crucial to discuss using CBD oil with your employer. Although CBD oil with very low amounts of THC is legal, it is possible that it will show up on a drug test. If you work in an occupation that has regular and required drug testing, make sure your employer is aware of your treatment plan and responds accordingly.
