In contrast to over-the-counter topical pain relievers, CBD topical balm reduces bodily pain and provides natural, non-habit-forming, and irritation-free pain relief. One of the main reasons why CBD works is because it penetrates through the dermal and subdermal layers.
The endocannabinoid system in your body is what allows CBD topicals to function so efficiently. It is presumed that the endocannabinoid system (ECS), is a complex signaling system in your body made up of cannabinoid receptors.
The CB1 and CB2 Receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids (cannabinoids produced within) regulate a variety of bodily functions and processes, including sleep, memory, reproduction and fertility, immune response, and others.
The cannabinoid is absorbed by your skin when you apply topical CBD products to any region of your body, but it does not enter your bloodstream.
The pain in the affected area of your body is instead reduced by interacting with the neighboring cannabinoid receptors, which then send a message to the endocannabinoid system.
On a fundamental level, this is how CBD topicals function.
