Back pain is a common problem that affects nearly 9 out of 10 French people at some point in their lives*. The causes can vary, but fortunately, there are natural solutions that can effectively relieve back pain.
How CBD Effectively and Naturally Relieves Back Pain
Where does CBD come from?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a substance that occurs naturally in the hemp plant, also known as "cannabis light."
CBD is what is known as a cannabinoid, a molecule that interacts with our endocannabinoid receptors. These receptors are found throughout our body.
As such, CBD can affect many of our body’s systems: the immune system, muscles, joints, pain, stress, the nervous system, and more…
Numerous scientific studies have indeed shown thatCBD works on several levels to promote our well-being.
CBD and Back Pain
Cannabidiol is now recognized for its effects on stress and anxiety. In fact, CBD interacts with endocannabinoid receptors to reduce the signals that transmit feelings of stress—but that’s not all. CBD also acts on our muscles, helping to relax them. Athletes particularly appreciate it after a workout because it promotes relaxation and muscle recovery.
But, as we’ve said, CBD has many uses. Among other things, it can effectively help relieve pain. To do this, cannabidiol modifies the pain signal to reduce it. It’s a very effective pain reliever.
Finally, it is an anti-inflammatory. In fact, it inhibits the molecules responsible for inflammation. In doing so, it effectively reduces pain and helps restore a sense of well-being. Scientific studies have, of course, confirmed CBD’s anti-inflammatory effects.
CBD therefore has a threefold effect on back pain: it relaxes muscles, reduces pain, and soothes inflammation to help you get back to your normal life. It has proven to be a good alternative to medication.
How Can CBD Help Relieve Back Pain?
There are many CBD products available today. However, some are better suited for relieving back pain.
The fastest and most effective way to take it is with High Society CBD oil. Simply place a few drops under your tongue, and you’ll start to feel the effects within 10–15 minutes.
For mild pain, we recommend taking 5% or 10% CBD oil. If the pain is very severe, opt for 15% or 20% CBD oil.
CBD is also effective in herbal tea. Simply let your High Society CBD herbal tea steep and enjoy this indulgent break to relax. However, it will take longer for the effects to kick in: allow about 2 to 3 hours.
Finally, High Society CBD massage oil or CBD warming balm are very popular among people suffering from back pain. CBD penetrates painful areas—such as the lower back—to relax the muscles and relieve pain.
Cosmetics are therefore a great way to release all the tension that has built up in your back throughout the day.
