CBD Topical Pain Cream vs. Oil Tinctures: What Is Right For Me

Trying to find the right CBD product for your individual needs can be a complicated process, one where you are likely forced to be your own advocate. 

While CBD is becoming increasingly popular, there is still a lack of education because the FDA has yet to regulate it and many medical professionals cannot prescribe or discuss CBD with their patients.

If you’re feeling overloaded with way too much information and you’re head is spinning, we are here to help break it down for you. If you have any questions, you can always reach out to our friendly staff to help get answers. We are available to talk by phone or email and soon will be offering a live chat.

The key to deciding which CBD product is right for you is to define the following:

• What ailments do you need relief from?
• How often are you struggling with these ailments?
• Do you need to stay away from THC?

CBD is quickly becoming an all-natural alternative to synthetic medications. But, for it to be effective, you need to be taking the right product. 

While it can be a little confusing, we are passionate about spreading the education of CBD, which is why we are breaking down everything there is to know about these two popular CBD products. By the end of this article, you should be a little closer to finding out which CBD product is right for you. 

Which CBD product is right for me?

With CBD having similar potential benefits across a range of products, it can be difficult to know which CBD product is best for you. Topicals and Tinctures such as our CBD Oil Spray tincture, are the two most popular methods of taking CBD because they are the most effective.

What ailments do you need relief from & how often?

Irregular Aches & Pains

If you only need relief from physical pain that is happening on an irregular basis, we recommend a CBD topical like our All-Natural CBD Pain Cream

Every Day Healing, Balance and Overall Wellness

If you are in pain every day, struggle with mental health issues like depressions or anxiety, or are looking to improve your overall wellness, we recommend incorporating our CBD Oil Spray Tinctures into your daily routine.

Combining CBD Products for a Stronger Effect

In many cases, the best way to find the right CBD product for you is simply trial and error. CBD products affect everyone differently due to each product’s unique cannabinoids and each individual’s distinct endocannabinoid system.

To truly maximize your CBD benefits, however, it is often recommended to use these products in combination to promote synergy within your body through the entourage effect. Each CBD product brings its own unique benefits through its combination of cannabinoids and terpenes, and our bodies use these compounds in different ways. Utilizing a CBD tincture for daily use may help your body find a new equilibrium, and a CBD pain cream may be able to help with those occasional flare-ups of pain. Try a range of CBD products to find the combination that works best for your individual needs.

What’s The Difference Between CBD Topicals & Tinctures?

More About CBD Topicals / Pain Creams

Like pain creams all over the health and wellness market, CBD topicals or pain creams are designed to be applied directly onto the skin to relieve pain.

Topical pain creams infused with CBD have been shown to provide targeted pain relief more effectively with more natural ingredients than traditional pain creams on the market. Our All-Natural CBD Pain Cream is derived from 100% organic hemp and is formulated with a powerful combination of organic menthol, capsicum, arnica extract, aloe, and several potent essential carrier oils. This formulation increases penetration into your skin and delivers fast relief at the source of your pain.

Generally speaking, individuals who may only need occasional relief from aches and pains in specific areas may be satisfied with a CBD pain cream. Topical CBD pain creams are especially popular among older adults and other individuals suffering from chronic pain caused by conditions like arthritis and Sciatica. 

According to the Arthritis Foundation*, 55% of Arthritis sufferers using CBD for symptom relief use a topical hemp product daily. Many doctors recommend the use of topical CBD creams for joint and muscle pain before trying an ingested CBD product. Topical hemp creams can be combined with a CBD tincture to maximize effectiveness.

What is a CBD Oil Tincture?

Unlike a CBD topical, CBD oil tinctures are taken orally. CBD tinctures often work best when applied under the tongue or on the inside of the cheeks, as there are unique glands in these areas that help the CBD metabolize more easily.

We’ve learned that by taking your tincture consistently and increasing the length of time that tinctures remain in the mouth, one may increase overall effectiveness. It is currently recommended to take the tinctures daily and hold the CBD oil under the tongue for 30-60 seconds before swallowing.

CBD tinctures are for those who are looking for more long-term, consistent benefits of CBD. They are popular among those who need daily relief from pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression and other ailments. They are most effective when incorporated into a daily wellness routine and taken regularly.

Do You Need To Avoid THC?

Keep in mind that Full-Spectrum CBD products always have a little THC in them. While they are required by law to be within legal limits, that doesn’t mean that it won’t show up on a drug test. If you have a reason to be clear of THC, it’s best that you stick with Broad-Spectrum products which have all traces of THC removed.  

Just as there is no magical prescription that cures every ailment, there is no perfect CBD solution that will solve every health problem. However, many individuals have experienced enhanced health and wellness by incorporating high quality CBD into their lives. Try a CBD product for yourself and see how your health changes.

It’s extremely important to be your own advocate on your CBD journey. Do your research, ask as many people as many questions as you can, and try to find the facts before trusting a company with your health.
