Cannabis Topicals: Relief Without the High đ§´
Not every cannabis product is meant to be smoked or eaten. Topicalsâlike creams, balms, roll-ons, and salvesâoffer targeted relief for pain, inflammation, and skin conditions without producing a âhigh.â
⨠How Topicals Work
Topicals interact with cannabinoid receptors in your skin as part of the bodyâs endocannabinoid system. Since they donât usually enter the bloodstream, you get local relief onlyâperfect for sore muscles, stiff joints, or irritated skin.
đŞ Common Uses
- Muscle recovery after workouts
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Menstrual cramps when applied to the lower abdomen
- Skin care for dryness, eczema, or irritation
Some topicals include cooling or warming ingredients (like menthol or cayenne) to boost relief.
đ§ž Types of Topicals
- Balms & salves â Thick, longer-lasting
- Lotions & creams â Absorb quickly, great for everyday use
- Roll-ons â Mess-free, portable relief
- Transdermal patches â Extended release, may deliver cannabinoids deeper into the bloodstream
