3 Best CBD Lotions and Creams for Pain and Many Other Health Conditions

While there are many ways to take CBD, often the first time people experience CBD is by applying a CBD lotion directly to their skin. We have seen chapped, raw hands respond literally in minutes to a small dab of CBD. Deep shoulder aches that some have had for months, even years, melt away with a gentle massage. Customers dealing with the pain of psoriasis are finding relief.

While some practitioners skilled in plant-based medicine recommend combining a CBD cream with a supplementary dose of CBD tincture, a dime-sized application of a CBD topical is what often turns skeptics into believers. 

At the most basic level, a CBD topical is any cream, lotion, balm, or salve that is infused with CBD and can be applied directly to the skin. CBD creams that combine CBD with complementary botanicals may cost a bit more but their impact is often far more significant.

Research into CBD is still in the early stages. What we have seen is promising though more robust studies need to be completed. You can read more about the research here.

Regardless of what CBD topical you end up using quality is everything. As with any product you put on your skin, test a small area first and wait for a reaction.
