For many people, CBD patches provide an alternative method of delivering CBD to the body that allows for faster and longer-term pain relief. CBD patches may be better for localized pain, such as pain only in the knee or lower back. Unfortunately, there are very few studies on CBD and other cannabinoids in relation to pain, and even fewer on CBD patches in particular. However, it's widely accepted that transdermal patches are an effective way of absorbing substances into the body, and CBD patches should be no different.
A CBD patch is most effective for a person who experiences pain and inflammation in a specific, localized part of the body. CBD patches are a great option for people who don't want to take CBD orally because they don't like the taste or find it uncomfortable. In preclinical trials, CBD has been shown to be beneficial in relieving pain and inflammation, as well as in reducing anxiety, stress and sleep problems. Topical CBD can also promote muscle relaxation.
A patch is likely to be more effective for localized pain than for general aches and pains throughout the body. CBD patches are capable of delivering higher concentrations of CBD to the bloodstream due to increased bioavailability. In addition, the benefit of being able to absorb CBD consistently for a longer period of time means that transdermal CBD patches should be better at fighting chronic pain. It might seem logical that applying CBD to the skin works like a transdermal CBD patch that enters the bloodstream.
Then there is a gradual and constant release of CBD, as long as the CBD patch is designed to work (it can last several hours, a day, or even several days; always read the instructions on the product package). CBD in patches is no different from CBD that is infused into edibles and ingested orally, and is just as effective as CBD. With CBD patches, you avoid this natural process, which means that a higher concentration of CBD enters the bloodstream and interacts with the endocannabinoid system. However, CBD patches do not contain nicotine and usually only contain CBD along with a few other cannabinoids.
CBD patches are similar in appearance to dressings and are applied to the skin, where they provide a slow release of CBD that is absorbed into the bloodstream. CBD patches, on the other hand, don't interact with the digestive system, meaning that more CBD circulates through the blood and reaches the site of pain. You can use the transdermal CBD lotion by cleaning the area with warm water, drying the skin and then gently rubbing the transdermal CBD lotion until the skin absorbs it. This means that CBD bypasses the digestive system, which could increase bioavailability or the amount of CBD the body can use.
Dragonfly's new CBD-infused skin patches include 20 mg of slow-release CBD in a pack of 30, designed to last a month of daily use. Transdermal CBD products provide better localized relief from pain and inflammation when CBD enters the bloodstream.
