Does CBD help with pain and inflammation?

CBD vs Ibuprofen - both relieve pain. However, in the process Ibuprofen damages your stomach lining and kills healthy gut bacteria. 

CBD, however, strengthens your gut and doesn't disrupt any healthy bacteria. CBD oil is an incredible tool for any athlete, with its ability to significantly reduce pain and inflammation, relieve spasms and aid in muscle recovery.

In fact, CBD has been found to be 20 x more effective than aspirin and 2 x stronger than hydrocortisone at reducing inflammation. 

When experiencing inflammation or injury, chemicals released in the body can increase the sensitivity of our pain receptors. 

By working to achieve homeostasis (biological balance) and modulating our physical bodily responses, CBD can help to desensitise these pain receptors.

CBD for relief of pain and inflammation can either be consumed orally in the form of CBD drops, or applied topically in the form of creams and sprays such as those by Dr Kerklaan.

For those with chronic pain and muscle soreness, CBD will change the way you manage daily living. As a powerful anti-inflammatory, CBD helps to manage neuropathic pain and provides relief from muscle tension without adverse side effects. ⁠
