The five good things about the CBD cream in our Relief Balm

If you've never used CBD before, you might want to start slowly. You might have been following the same plan for a while and want to try something new. A topical CBD cream could be a good way to learn more about CBD right now, no matter where you are.

CBD works through the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which has receptors on almost every surface of your body, including your skin, which is your largest organ. The ECS is in charge of keeping the body in homeostasis, or a state of balance, and CBD may help it do its job. CBD is best used to treat local problems rather than general health problems because it doesn't get into the bloodstream as quickly when put on the skin as when taken by mouth. Also, this means you can use topical CBD as often as you want and it won't change how much CBD you take every day.

Most of the time, when people talk about the benefits of topical CBD creams, they start and end with pain. However, topical CBD may also help with other problems. At Equilibria, we sell a topical Best CBD Cream (Opens in a new window) called Relief Balm. It has 500 mg of our full-spectrum CBD and other ingredients like arnica, menthol, and the essential oils of lavender and rosemary. Want to know how our Relief Balm can help you live a more balanced life? Here are just five of the many ways that our topical CBD cream can help you improve your #MyEQ routine.

The five good things about the CBD cream (Opens in a new window) in our Relief Balm

1. Relieve pain

CBD creams that are put on the skin can be a great way to treat pain from the outside in. You can put your topical CBD cream on the area that hurts and feel better in as little as 30 minutes, whether it's for period cramps, persistent muscle or joint pain, grinding your teeth at night, or migraines.

We recommend that you use your CBD topical cream often and as needed to deal with problems that keep coming up in your daily life. For example, if you get neck pain from staring at a computer screen all day (hi, WFH), you might want to use your topical Best CBD Cream in the morning and at night, and also keep it on your desk in case an unexpected flare-up happens!

2. Cut down on swelling

The endocannabinoid system controls how your body responds to physical stress, which usually shows up as pain or swelling. Many of our members use the Relief Balm to treat this swelling. Not only does it contain CBD, which has healing properties, but it also has arnica and menthol, which are well-known pain relievers for sensitive body parts.

3. Dealing with Anger

When menthol is put on the skin, it often feels cool, which may help soothe itchy or irritated skin. We always recommend doing a small patch test before putting Relief Balm on a pain right away, since menthol can burn skin that is already damaged. Combining the cooling effects of menthol with the healing properties of arnica and CBD makes for a great way to treat rashes, bruises, and itchy bug bites.

4. Help people get better

Topical CBD creams may be a great way to relieve sore muscles, whether you're an athlete, a yoga parent, or just someone who likes to work out every once in a while. You can use it either before or after your workout to help with swelling and stiffness.

5. How aromatherapy can help with CBD cream

Even though the essential oils in our topical CBD cream may be a great way to get the benefits of aromatherapy, topical CBD works best for localized problems. For example, rosemary, which has the terpene pinene, is known for its ability to relieve tension and pain. Lavender, which has the terpene linalool, is known for its ability to make people feel calm.

Our Best CBD Cream can be used as often as you want throughout the day. This makes it the perfect addition to your current routine or a great way to get to know CBD slowly. Start with a small amount, about the size of a pea, and add more if you need to. Our Relief Balm is a great way to make sure that the act of balancing is done both from the inside and from the outside.
