It is common knowledge that prescription painkillers are certainly effective in the short term, but very quickly lead to addiction and a host of unwanted side effects.
There are many natural remedies available to, for example, improve digestion, boost your mood, or help you sleep better. However, when it comes to relieving chronic pain, truly effective so-called natural remedies are harder to find.
What is CBD?
How does CBD oil help with pain?
What about the potential risk of addiction?
In fact, CBD has an effective analgesic effect—a pain-relieving effect that acts quickly when consumed in the form of CBD oil taken orally—and, most importantly, it has no side effects on our health.
Here is our ranking of the top 3 CBD oils that guarantee fast and long-lasting relief from chronic pain.
CBD, or cannabidiol: definition
CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is one of the major components of the hemp plant. It is often mistakenly associated with THC, which has psychotropic effects and a high risk of addiction, but has nothing to do with CBD and its purely therapeutic effects. Both are indeed cannabinoids, but their mechanisms of action are almost opposite.
CBD can therefore be considered a substance that is completely safe for the body, with no specific restrictions regarding dosage, frequency, or method of consumption.
Since its highly anticipated legalization in France, CBD has been available on the market in many forms, including oil.
Does CBD really help relieve pain?
Unlike THC, whose reputation is directly linked to its psychoactive effects, cannabidiol is sought after for its therapeutic benefits for our well-being. Osteoarthritis, migraines, poor sleep quality, anxiety, skin problems… The list of ailments that CBD use may help alleviate is long.
This list also includes the relief of certain types of pain, including chronic pain. In practice, CBD molecules are thought to bind to the body’s endocannabinoid receptors, specifically the CB1 and CB2 receptors. By acting on these receptors, they are believed to trigger anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects by inhibiting nociceptive sensations.
To help relieve chronic pain,High Society offers oils in various concentrations so that the intensity of the effects can be tailored to any consumer profile or level of pain.
After all, let’s keep in mind that everyone is different, and there is no single recommended dosage.
Everyone can determine the dosage that's right for them.
1 - 5% CBG Oil
The 5% CBG oildeveloped by High Society is the first oil we recommend for relieving certain types of chronic pain.
Compared to other CBD oils, what sets this one apart is that it combines CBD and CBG in a single bottle. CBG, which is less well-known than CBD, is one of the other cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. It is said to have powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, all with a CBD concentration of just 5%.
This 5% CBG oil is an ideal natural solution for your chronic pain, even if you’ve never used CBD before. Its low CBD concentration makes for a gentle introduction, and you can freely adjust the dosage yourself based on your tolerance and the level of pain you need to relieve.
2 - 10% CBD Oil
Thanks to its high CBD concentration and potent effects,10% CBD oil is a potential solution for relieving certain types of pain, including chronic and persistent pain.
It is the most concentrated—and therefore the most potent—CBD oil offered by High Society. Made from organically grown hemp and featuring a full spectrum, this oil combines ingredients of the highest purity with all the cannabinoids found in the hemp plant.
Because of this purity, crystals may sometimes form in the bottle. To dissolve them, simply place the bottle in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes.
3 - 5% CBD Oil
Here, we offer you a good compromise between the two oils mentioned earlier.
With a CBD concentration of 5%, this oil is both potent enough to significantly relieve even your most persistent pain in just a few minutes, and mild enough to be used daily with no dosage limits other than your own comfort level.
The 5% CBD oilprovides a sense of relaxation and overall well-being to help relieve your pain, with a unique hint of wild mint that adds to its flavor.
What about the risk of CBD addiction?
It’s common to confuse CBD with THC, and it’s perfectly normal to wonder about the risk of addiction.
Can consuming CBD oil be addictive?
The answer is no. Unlike THC, CBD poses absolutely no risk of addiction or dependence.
This includes when consumed on a daily basis, with no significant restrictions on dosage, as dosages are tailored to each consumer’s individual needs.
CBD is not a medication and should never be used as a substitute for medical treatment. If you have any questions, consult your doctor.
