Back pain: Cannabidiol 'CBD' balm could ease your aches and pain


Cannabidiol, also known as ‘CBD’, can be used as a tropical treatment to ease back pain. How does the balm work? And how effective is it?

Medical News Today testified: “There is evidence to suggest that it may help treat pain and inflammation.”

Associated with the cannabis plant, CBD doesn’t contain the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) compound, which can get you “high”.

Mounting evidence has pointed towards the health benefits of CBD application.

Researchers from the Medical University of Białystok, Poland, highlighted its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.

“This enhances the effects of other brain chemicals, such as serotonin and anandamide, to reduce pain perception.

“It is also a powerful antioxidant which suppresses inflammation.” Moreover, Dr Brewer shares her advice on buying the product.
