How the Potency of CBD Hemp Cream Matters?
Like everything else, there are many variations to the product when it comes to CBD hemp ointments. There are different ingredients, sizes, colors, but most importantly – potencies. We’ll go into more detail on what potency stands for when we’re talking about amazing CBD hemp cream and CBD products in general.
We’ll also explain how different levels of potency interact with the body and the variations of ingredients included in most CBD cream products. Also, we’ll touch upon what are the primary uses of cannabidiol ointments and what they are best suited for. If you’re interested to learn all about this, read on, and we’ll shed some light on the subject.
What Is CBD Hemp Cream Potency?
Potency in CBD ointments is simply the amount of CBD per volume. To determine which cream is more potent, you would have to see which one contains more milligrams of CBD in a reference volume. You might run into products labeled in a slightly different way, where they show the percentage of CBD, but that can vary compared to other products due to the differences in the size of the packaging.
So, what you want to look for when browsing products is the amount of cannabidiol per set volume, and that’s how you determine which one of them is more potent. This can help you determine which product is better suited for your needs, and if you’ve already used one, you can take it as a reference to get a stronger or a weaker one instead.
What Difference Does It Make?
It’s pretty simple, the more CBD a product contains, the stronger effects it will have. With a more potent product, you need to apply less of it for any effects to kick in. However, the speed at which the effects start working does not alter based on potency, so keep that in mind. Also, depending on the product, you might want to pay attention to the other ingredients, but more on that in a minute.
That’s pretty much the entire difference. If you get a more potent product, you’ll need to use less of it to achieve the desired effects. Of course, a product with next to no CBD direct in it won’t do much, so do remember to check the label before buying the product.
How Can CBD Hemp Cream Be Used?
CBD-based creams can be used just like any other cream meant for sports injuries. Cannabidiol has anti-inflammatory properties, so it’s well suited for almost any injury related to overexertion, a dislocation, or hematoma. Anything from a sprained ankle to a muscle sore after a tough workout can be soothed by a CBD-based balm, especially if it’s a potent one.
That’s why this type of product has been gaining popularity in the fitness world and generally among people prone to these types of injuries. It’s supposed to be incredibly well regarded in the bodybuilding community. It is a natural soothing balm that helps with both acute and chronic pain caused by the repetition of exerting tasks. That’s another thing, CBD cream can be perfect in dealing with long-lasting injuries, the ones that keep coming back no matter how careful you are.
Are There Any Variations?
Other than potency, what can vary from product to product or manufacturer to manufacturer is the other ingredients that go into the ointment. CBD is the focus, of course, but most of these products are made with other components that also serve a purpose in pain relief.
You’ve indeed encountered this type of creams, the cooling ones that are meant to take the swelling away and help you with the pain. The most commonly used ingredients in these products are:
- Menthol – cools the area down and reduces swelling;
- Caffeine – helps in pain suppression;
- White Willow Bark – is a natural pain relief that’s been used in natural remedies for centuries;
Most of the CBD ointments you run into will contain at least one of these ingredients, which is excellent news for you because they have been tried and tested, and with enough CBD concentration, it could make a world of difference.
In Conclusion
To wrap it up, the potency of your CBD cream matters, but not as much as the awareness of what this product can do for you. It can help you get back into the gym after a hiatus or help you unwind after a long day at work. Whatever it is you’re using it for, though, remember that it’s not a substitute for therapy, and you should always consult a physician before trying anything on your own.
