What are CBD ointments?

Topical cannabis ointments have existed for centuries, they come from ancient Europe and ancient Egypt, where they were used as a disinfectant as well as to relieve pain, skin conditions, bacterial diseases, local pain and inflammation of the feet. Unfortunately, modern society has a bad habit of not favoring home remedies from our ancestors, however, the fame of cannabis is made and topical products reappear. The vast majority of users of CBD ointments use them to benefit from the benefits of cannabis, without the psychoactive effects that can be present in other forms. CBD ointments contain less than 0.3% THC (which is below the legal limit).

CBD creams and lotions:

When it comes to CBD creams and lotions, the only big difference with ointments and balms is the presence of a small amount of water. Balms and ointments use oils, as well as wax as the base, but not water. This is an important difference which impacts the final texture of the product. We will discuss the other differences later, including the amount of CBD present in the ointments. Ointments are used to relieve a local area of ​​any pain, discomfort, tension, muscle aches or inflammation. When the ointment is applied to the skin it can relieve ailments by acting directly under the skin. For example, if you suffer from joint pain, just apply the cream directly on the painful area, this will reduce the swelling.
