Using cannabis edibles for my arthritis
I struggle pretty badly with arthritis in my fingers, my knuckles swell up and become stiff and painful, and arthritis makes it pretty challenging to type on the computer, open jars, weed the garden and all sorts of everyday things.
While I’ve consulted with a healthcare professional and been offered a variety of pharmaceuticals, I’ve been unwilling to try them.
There are too many long-term side-effects. An unbelievable deal of internet research led me to the dispensary. When I chose to consult with 1 of the budtenders, he proposed cannabis-infused topicals. I genuinely was amazed by the selection of ointments, creams, lotions, salves and bath bombs found on the shelves. These products don’t cause any psychoactive effects because the THC doesn’t make its way into the bloodstream. Cannabis topicals function to treat localized pain, skin inflammation, acne, insect stings, burns, wounds and other complications. The body’s endocannabinoid system naturally produces CBD to regulate a lengthy list of functions. CBD interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors to trigger a range of cellular responses and achieve balance and well-being. Because pain originates in the nervous system, it can be pretty tough to treat. CB1 receptors are located under the skin while CB2 receptors are found in the immune cells in the nervous system. They are responsible for inflammation and pain. CBD found in the strains of cannabis easily encourage the body to generate more of its own CBD and lessen pain and inflammation altogether. Cannabis creams are infused with essential oils similar to lavender and usually smell nice. Application doesn’t require any additional gear or expertise and the effects are relatively long-lasting. They have been life-altering for me.
