The experience of pain varies from person to person. For the most part, pain is an unpleasant experience both physically and emotionally. Pain can be short- or long-term (chronic) and affect a person’s day to day routine and activities.
Though research into CBD and its pain relief abilities are still in its infancy, there is mounting evidence combined with consumer reports that suggest using CBD topicals, such as a balm, may help with painful conditions. A recent study shows the potential of CBD when it comes to treating both pain and inflammation.
Additionally, another study has indicated that topical CBD application “has therapeutic potential for relief of arthritis pain-related behaviours and inflammation without evident side-effects.” Using a rat model of arthritis, transdermal CBD gel was shown to significantly reduce joint swelling, as well as spontaneous pain. The study also found that by applying CBD topically, complications such as gastrointestinal issues that happen with ingestion of the product were absent.
For those who suffer from chronic pain such as arthritis or even just muscle soreness, a topical remedy can be an easy and soothing solution to ease their conditions.
Balms usually contain waxes, butter, oils (in this case CBD oil) and other active ingredients. Balms are similar to creams, but they do not contain water and they are often thick – almost solid. CBD balms, like other CBD topicals, are intended to be used directly on your skin. The skin, itself, has been found to contain many cannabinoid receptors.
There are a number of topical CBD products on the market. Pain Away™ from Indian Creek is formulated from some of the most advanced ingredients in skin care. It is one of the finest natural CBD pain remedies available and is Organically Grown, Non GMO and Gluten Free.
Importantly, ingredients, Testing, and transparency when it comes to where and how the hemp is grown and cared for – are all important when choosing a Topical CBD balm. Pain Away from Indian Creek is Third-Party Tested for Highest-Quality Assurance.
Their independent third-party testing lab examines both the content and the quality of the product, while specialized technology analyzes hydrocarbons in order to identify strength, type and number of terpenes. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifies how much CBD and THC are in the product, while also certifying that it has been tested for contaminants such as mold, pesticides, and heavy metals.
Indian Creek prides themselves on the ability to go to great lengths in order to ensure their products meet ASTM industry standards for quality, consistency, and transparency.
The Pain Away balm includes Indian Creek’s special Full-spectrum CBD oil – which contains all active hemp-derived cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, and CBC (with less than 0.3% THC), as well as terpenes and flavonoids.
As balms are used in the same way one would use a moisturizer, dosage can vary from person to person. Anyone new to CBD, should start with the lowest possible dose and see how their body responds. Users can always perform a small patch test on the skin before applying it to a larger area.
Indian Creek aims to bring their customers only the cleanest, safest, and healthiest tinctures, topicals, and cosmetics available. Find Pain Away’s COA here.
