CBD are a good solution for both specific areas of discomfort as well as multi-targeted pain
How CBD patches work for pain
CBD patches are transdermal, meaning they work by slowly and steadily delivering a controlled amount of CBD through the skin and into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates various physiological processes, including pain sensation and reduce inflammation.
CBD patches may also help alleviate pain by increasing the levels of anandamide in the body. Anandamide is a neurotransmitter that has pain-relieving and mood-enhancing effects. CBD has been shown to inhibit the enzyme that breaks down anandamide, which can increase the levels of this neurotransmitter in the body and help reduce pain.
Overall, CBD patches provide a convenient and discreet way to get CBD into the body for pain relief. The slow and steady release of CBD can be really effective in helping with long term pain as it regulates pain and inflammation over time. It’s always best to take CBD daily and consistently for any chronic issues. That said, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider before trying CBD patches (15mg CBD patches or high strength CBD patches) or any other CBD products to ensure they’re safe and appropriate for your individual needs.

CBD patches for arthritis pain
Arthritis, a common condition affecting millions of people worldwide, causes joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation that can be debilitating. CBD patches for arthritis pain may be an effective option for managing autoimmune symptoms as receptors reside throughout the immune system (as part of the Endocannabinoid system). CBD has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation and pain in the joints. Additionally, CBD may help reduce anxiety and improve sleep, which can often be affected by pain.
CBD patches for back pain
CBD patches are a great solution for back pain as you can apply them directly to the troubled area. If the back pain changes in intensity, you can combine the patches with Oral CBD, taking a quick hit for fast relief as and when you need. Sleep and mood can be adversely affected by back pain, and CBD may help improve sleep and enhance mood, as well as reducing inflammation and calming the nervous system. Sleep is vital to healing and recovery.
CBD patches for fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition affecting millions worldwide, causes widespread pain, fatigue, depression and other difficult-to-manage symptoms. CBD patches for fibromyalgia may be an effective option for managing these symptoms. CBD has been shown to have pain-relieving properties as well as reduce anxiety, enhance mood and improve sleep, which can be beneficial for those with fibromyalgia. CBD regulates systems within our body, creating a state of homeostasis (balance), and as it does this throughout our nervous, immune, endocrine systems and via receptors in the control-centre of our brain, it can tackle multiple issues. Our fibromyalgia customers often combine the patches with an oral CBD.

There’s nothing worse than trying to get through a working day or restful night when you are experiencing menstrual cramps and other painful symptoms during your menstrual cycle.

HOW DOES CBD OIL HELP WITH PAIN?
Although shop-bought CBD oil is not intended to cure or even treat any kind of pain or pain condition, certain CBD oil products are prescribed to chronic pain patients in the UK and cannabis-based medicinal product Sativex is licensed for MS patients, who experience a great deal of pain every day. But to answer the question ‘How does CBD oil help with pain?’, it’s important to first understand the type of pain, what the pain is caused by, and the various ways CBD interacts with the body.
The CBD molecule is what’s called a pleiotropic, which means it has multiple mechanisms via lots of different pathways in the body. These include an interaction with serotonin, dopamine, capsaicin and GP55 receptors. The wide-spread endocannabinoid system throughout our bodies regulates pretty much all functions in the body;
The two Endocannabinoid receptors we currently know most about are called CB1 and CB2.
CB1 receptors can be primarily found in your brain and spinal cord – and to a lesser extent, peripheral organs and tissues, as well as parts of your reproductive, gastrointestinal and urinary tract. These receptors control pain perception, mood, sleep, memory and appetite. As well as this, CBD directly activates serotonin receptors. This results in an immediate release of this neurotransmitter, which has a huge impact on many bodily functions – both mental and physical. SSRI medications, that also increase levels of serotonin, are regularly prescribed to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bulimia and fibromyalgia. Many experts believe not having enough serotonin (a serotonin deficiency) has the potential to cause anxiety, depression, muscle pain, headaches, insomnia and more.
CB2 receptors mostly regulate the immune system, which plays a vital role in modulating inflammation – a common cause of aggravation in painful conditions. Further to this, full spectrum CBD oils, like ours, contain a range of other cannabinoids and terpenes, which also have their own, unique interactions that are well worth knowing about. For example, our Water Soluble CBD products have extra terpenes added from the cannabis plant, like Myrcene, Limonene and Curcumin (also present in Turmeric), that are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
