- This is a targeted solution to be applied directly to the painful area.
- Many people see CBD cream as a natural, soothing supplement to contribute to their overall well-being.
What exactly is a CBD cream?
A CBD cream is a topical treatment designed to be applied directly to the skin. It provides localized pain relief directly on the painful area.
It is made from CBD oil oil enriched with cannabinoids, mixed with a cream or balm base often composed of plant oils or butters (moisturizers) and water.
The result is a pleasant, gentle product to massage into painful areas such as shoulders, knees, back and stomach during menstruation, for example. The composition of CBD cream varies from one manufacturer to another, but it's a good idea to check the composition carefully if you want to use a natural cream.
When you massage with CBD cream, the cannabidiol doesn't pass into the bloodstream like with sublingual oil. It acts locally, interacting with receptors of the endocannabinoid system present in the skin, muscles and tissues.
This system helps the body maintain its equilibrium: it regulates pain, inflammation and muscle tension. CBD stimulates these receptors to reduce the sensation of pain or discomfort. CBD cream has a gentle, targeted action, and is renowned for its local effectiveness.
What consumers are saying about CBD cream
Mama always listens carefully to consumer testimonials. Feedback on CBD creams is quite positive. Many people suffering from muscular or joint pain report having incorporated this type of cream into their wellness routine.
Whether after sport, a long day on their feet or in times of chronic pain, many people find real relief by gently massaging the affected area with a CBD cream.
Others point out that the effect is not immediate, but more gradual, meaning that after a few days of regular use, tensions seem to ease. The gesture of massage also plays an important role in relaxation.
Users also appreciate formulas enriched with essential or plant oils such as peppermint, arnica and lavender, which enhance the cooling or relaxing effect, depending on their needs.
That said, not all users are won over by CBD cream and find the effect too subtle or feel it's not enough to soothe intense pain. According to Mama, many people see CBD cream as a natural, soothing supplement to contribute to their overall well-being.
How to choose the right CBD cream?
Mama's first tip is based on the fact that there are different CBD creams with varying compositions and contents. So check the CBD concentration, as an effective cream generally contains between 300 mg and 1000 mg of CBD. If it contains less, the effect is likely to be milder and won't be able to relieve your aches and pains sufficiently.
Then look at the list of ingredients: the more natural, the better. Choose formulas with vegetable oils such as coconut, hemp, sweet almond or shea butter.
It can be combined with essential oils to boost the desired effect: mint, eucalyptus, wintergreen and arnica for a feeling of freshness. Or chamomile and lavender to amplify the soothing effect.
Mama also advises you to take a look at the origin of the hemp. Ideally, choose a hemp grown without pesticides and extracted naturally without chemical processes.
Avoid creams with overly long composition lists, as this could reflect a cream rich in toxic agents. And avoid brands with laboratory analyses, such as Mama Kana. This criterion is a significant guarantee of quality.
Finally, you can consult consumer reviews, which are the best representatives of a brand.
