<h1>Reason To Try CBD Pain Relief Spray</h1>
Everyday aches and pains from running, jogging, lifting, falling, bumping, or scraping are entirely too common. But just because they happen often doesn’t mean we necessarily want them to occur.
There are tons of different at-home remedies to try to alleviate muscle and joint pain, but none of them are proven effective at helping to reduce the problem from the source. However, there is a product that’s been right in front of you this whole time that you’ve probably never even thought to use.
CBD is a fantastic pain reliever that has versatile benefits beyond just relief from achy muscles. Let’s take a look at how CBD pain relief spray can change your life for the better.
<h2>What is CBD?</h2>
CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is a derivative of the hemp plant. It’s an entirely legal substance that can be used in oils, gummies, topicals -- you name it!
CBD is extracted from the plant through chemical processing. It’s often confused with hemp seed oil. While both come from the same plant, CBD is derived from the stalks, leaves and flowers while hemp seed oil comes from the seeds of the cannabis sativa plant.
You’ve probably heard of CBD for its ability to reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety, as this is one of its most prominent uses. CBD can help reduce stress, improve mood, regulate sleep, and so much more.
<h3>How Does it Work?</h3>
When you use CBD topically on your skin or ingest it through your mouth, you’ll start to notice its effects pretty quickly.
CBD is a type of cannabinoid which interacts with specific receptors in your body’s endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system exists in your body even if you’ve never used CBD products before.
This system is responsible for regulating a number of processes such as mood, appetite, sleep, and pan sensation. It’s often referred to as the “universal regulator” because of how much it can do. It’s why CBD works so effectively.
When CBD is converted into a cannabinoid, it binds to a specific cannabinoid receptor. These receptors are responsible for different functions. But for example, it may bond to the CB2 receptor in the immune system to help reduce inflammation and soothe muscle soreness.
<h2>What Causes Joint and Muscle Pain?</h2>
If you’ve ever woken up with achy joints or sore muscles, there’s probably nothing to worry about. You can feel a little tender after exercising, sleeping on your muscles incorrectly, or by just pulling a muscle abnormally. As your muscles heal from these stressors, they might feel sore.
However, there are a number of other medical causes that may be the reason for your consistent muscle and joint pain. One of the most common is arthritis, which is a general term to describe joint inflammation. However, severe pain might also be the result of something as simple as joint sprains, cramps, or bruises.
If your joint or muscle pain is severe and prolonged, it never hurts to go speak with a medical professional. With that said, trying some CBD for pain relief shouldn’t hurt and might be able to save you a trip to the doctor’s.
<h2>Why Should I Use CBD Spray for Pain Relief?</h2>
Now that you know the basics when it comes to CBD, let’s talk about why it’s so useful to you specifically. Here are some reasons to try CBD pain relief spray.
<h3>It Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties</h3>
One of the main reasons that CBD is great for pain relief is because of its anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have found that CBD is able to bind with certain receptors as well as block the formation of enzymes that might lead to inflammation and pain.
So if you use a topical solution to alleviate joint stiffness and pain, the CBD can absorb directly into the affected area to provide relief quickly and effectively.
This has made CBD an effective solution for treating pain associated with arthritis. However, it can be used as a way to bring relief to other neuropathic ailments such as carpal tunnel.
Additionally, when CBD is combined with other ingredients that also help with inflammation, it can enhance its effects. For example, peppermint is a great addition to CBD pain products because it soothes skin while also working to reduce inflammation. Similarly, juniper can reduce swelling while also soothing nerves, making it great for everyday use.
<h3>It Can Replenish and Moisturize the Skin</h3>
A secondary effect that CBD pain relief solutions have is that they can help to replenish moisture to your skin. This is especially helpful if you have some forms of arthritis in which joint pain and dry skin coincide with one another. You can kill two birds with one stone!
Studies have found that CBD prevented sebaceous glands from secreting excessive sebum, which is an oil that your body produces. In excess, sebum can irritate and dry out the skin. So not only is it an effective way to restore your skin’s natural complexion, but it may also be able to reduce bumps on the skin.
<h3>It’s Easy to Use</h3>
Pain relief products that contain CBD are going to be able to give you the benefits listed above as well as much more. But one of the main reasons that pain relief spray specifically works so well is because of how easy it is to use.
All you need to do is spray one to two mists over areas of discomfort. You may want to rub the liquid in a little bit, but you don’t have to. We recommend using it before and after athletic or strenuous activity. Just make sure you don’t spray it over broken or sensitive skin.
<h3>It Has a Long Shelf Life</h3>
While some people use CBD products religiously every morning and night, we understand that some people may only want to use them if problems arise. That’s perfectly okay, especially since CBD pain relief spray can last up to twelve months after opening.
Even though they have no formal expiration date, Apothecanna’s line of products are designed to last for one year after opening. So there’s no rush to spritz our every last drop of your pain relief spray. Take your time and use it whenever you feel comfortable.
<h2>What CBD Pain Relief Spray Works Best?</h2>
While CBD works great on its own, it might not do enough. Many CBD products currently on the market don’t make use of other ingredients that can improve your health holistically.
We know that there are some other amazing analgesics that work just as well to bring you relief fast. That’s why Apothecanna’s Extra Strength Body Spray stands out, as it incorporates pretty much everything you need to feel relief fast.
For one, we use arnica, which is an herb that mainly grows in central Europe. It's great for reducing pain associated with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or migraines. There’s even evidence that it can be used to reduce bruising.
Next up, our CBD pain relief spray contains peppermint oil. Peppermint oil is also effective at reducing inflammation and bringing relaxation to your muscles and joints. This is because it contains menthol which suppresses the production of inflammatory mediators throughout your body. If nothing else, it just makes our spray smell really refreshing!
The final active ingredient is juniper, which is a berry that can be used to help with arthritis. Juniper berry may be able to inhibit the production of chemicals that would otherwise lead to inflammation, making it great for pain relief.
All of these active ingredients combine with CBD to form a cool and refreshing formula that you’ll be excited to spray onto your skin. While we’re definitely a bit biased, we’re pretty confident that our CBD pain relief spray stands out as one of the best on the market.
<h2>Are There Other Ways to Use CBD for Pain Relief?</h2>
Pain relief spray is an easy and effective way to experience the benefits of arnica, peppermint, juniper, and CBD all in one, but if it’s not for you, that’s okay! We have plenty of other options so you can find one that works best for your preferences.
<h3>Body Cream</h3>
The physical massage that comes with applying our Extra Strength Body Cream might be more in line to suit your style. All you need to do is rub a little bit of lotion in between your hands and massage into the affected area. The act of physically soothing your muscles can bring added relief in addition to the surface penetrating power of the cream itself.
You can even try refrigerating it for extra soothing sensations after a day in the sun or a severely tiring workout.
<h3>Body Oil</h3>
Similar to lotion, massage our Extra Strength Body Oil into the affected area, targeting your most stubborn pain points. This works great standalone, but it’ll work even better if you use it in addition to the body cream or spray.
Oil is great for people who like a potent formula that requires very little to bring you a lot. Body oil is an effective way to find fast relief without taking too much time out of your busy day.
<h3>Bath Soak</h3>
A great way to soothe your mind and body is by taking a nice warm bath. Why not amplify the benefits with our Extra Strength Bath Soak to combine all the benefits of a bath with the benefits of CBD?
Soaking in this solution can help bring you ache relief all over your body without ever needing to move a muscle. The soothing peppermint aroma can also help put your mind at ease after a busy day at work or school.
In addition to all of the ingredients mentioned earlier, the bath soak also has dead sea salt, pink himalayan salt, and epsom salt to increase hydration and reduce swelling. It’s an all-around natural and effective way to feel immediate relief.
<h2>In Conclusion</h2>
CBD is a natural compound derived from the hemp plant that has a number of direct benefits to human health. It works with the endocannabinoid system to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and stress while also helping to regulate sleep, mood, appetite, and manage pain.
Joint and muscle pain are common ailments that are often just caused by intense exercise or abnormal stretching. However, persistent joint pain can be a sign of arthritis, sprains, or other conditions. With that said, CBD pain relief spray is an effective way to help.
CBD is great because it has anti-inflammatory properties to fight pain, can reduce frequency and intensity of muscle spasms, and can also restore moisture to your skin. Using a spray specifically can be helpful because of how easy it is to use and how long it can last on your shelf without expiring.
With that said, you may want to try a body cream, oil, or bath soak instead. These can bring you the same types of benefits, just in different ways. Apothecanna has you covered with every single one of these options and more, so why not start here?
