When you feel pain, your body is trying to tell you something. There’s a problem that needs to be fixed. Thousands of people successfully use CBD products for pain management, both directly and indirectly.

The science behind CBD, simplified: every one of us has an Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which helps bring balance to our physiological systems. CBD interacts with receptors in the ECS, and the interaction activates receptors in our brain and central nervous system, bringing our bodies back into balance. When our ECS is balanced, our bodies function optimally, assisting with the promotion of pain relief. While CBD doesn’t directly impact pain, it can benefit the ECS and have an indirect impact on pain.

Menthol and capsaicin are approved by the FDA to treat pain, and they have a direct impact on pain. Products that combine CBD and menthol or capsaicin often work better for pain relief.

How does menthol work? Menthol is used to treat minor aches and pains in muscles and joints. It produces a cooling and then warming sensation, which distracts us from feeling the aches and pains that lie deeper in our muscles and joints.

How does capsaicin work? Like menthol, capsaicin is used to treat minor aches and pains in muscles and joints. Capsaicin causes a sensation of heat that activates nerves cells and reduces the feeling of pain.

Everyone’s Endocannabinoid System reacts differently to CBD, so different people have different experiences. Finding the right product and the right daily dosage is key to having success with CBD.

How long does CBD take to kick in? Some people feel the effects of CBD within 20 minutes of taking it for the first time, while other people don’t feel the effects until 7 or more days of continued daily usage. Often, the difference in experiences is caused by the quality of CBD products and the variance in dosage routines.

CBD oils taken under the tongue are often felt within 20 minutes, whereas ingestible CBD such as gummies and soft gels commonly take 60-90 minutes to kick in. The type of product and the dosage play important roles in determining how quickly you will feel the effects of CBD.

How long does the effect of CBD last? While the effects of CBD oils can be felt more quickly than ingestibles, the effects of ingestibles tend to last longer. The effects of CBD oils tend to last 2-6 hours, where the effects of CBD ingestibles tend to last 4-8 hours.

What if CBD doesn’t work for me? The most common reasons for not feeling the effects of CBD are 1) using low-quality products and 2) taking the wrong dosage. Try increasing your daily CBD dosage by 10mg until reaching your desired effect, or switch to another product from a different brand. Compare CBD products for pain relief.

Everyone reacts differently to CBD. Start with a low dose of 10mg CBD per day, then adjust as necessary. Repeat daily.

If you increase your daily dosage, you’ll fall into the range of medium CBD dosage, which is 16 – 44 milligrams of CBD. Many daily CBD users take about 25 milligrams per day, or 750 milligrams of CBD per month. 

For more extreme symptoms, a high dosage of +45 milligrams of CBD can be successful. 

Stress can cause feelings of overwhelm, the inability to calm down, racing thoughts, sleep issues, headaches, low energy, upset stomach, aches and pain, frequent illness, and a loss of sexual desire. Thousands of people successfully use hemp to treat everyday stress and reduce its effects.

CBD helps calm the mind so we can relax. Many people say they feel an absence; an absence of a racing mind, an absence of worrying thoughts, and an absence of feeling stressed out.

CBD by itself does not help you sleep, but calming the mind can allow us to relax and sleep better. CBD with melatonin can help with sleep.

CBD can be combined with pain relief products like menthol or capsaicin, for either a cooling or warming pain relieving sensation.
