Our new CBD Cooling Balm infused with CBD, arnica, menthol, camphor, and a beautiful scent of mint and eucalyptus. CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, arnica for its pain-relieving abilities, menthol for its cooling effect, and camphor for its antispasmodic and analgesic qualities. Together, they form a powerful combination that can benefit people with a variety of issues, including sore muscles, joint pain, arthritis, headaches, and skin inflammations. The cooling sensation of the balm can also help soothe the skin and relieve tension, making it an excellent choice for relaxation and stress relief.
CBD & Inflammation
CBD (cannabidiol) has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties due to the interraction with your body’s endocannabinoid system. Your endocannabinoid system plays a role in regulating immune response and inflammation. CBD can help reduce inflammation by suppressing cytokine production, which are proteins that signal inflammation in the body. It can also reduce oxidative stress, which can also contribute to inflammation. Some studies have even suggested that CBD may be more effective than traditional anti-inflammatory medications in certain cases. However, more research is needed to fully understand how CBD affects inflammation and to determine the optimal dosage and delivery methods for different conditions. Current research has yielded positive results from high topical doses, close to 1000mg/oz which has influenced our choice to keep our new CBD Cooling Balm at 2000mg in 2oz.
Why Arnica?
Arnica is a flowering plant that is native to Europe and Siberia. It is a member of the sunflower family and is known for its powerful medicinal properties. The plant contains a number of active compounds, including helenalin, which is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Recent genetic studies have shed light on the unique properties of arnica, showing that it contains many genes that are involved in the synthesis of secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids and terpenoids, which are responsible for the plant’s medicinal effects. Additionally, research has shown that arnica has powerful pain-relieving and healing properties, making it a popular ingredient in many natural remedies, topical ointments, and plant-based medicines. It can help reduce pain associated with bruises, sprains, strains, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions.
Cooling with Menthol & Camphor
Menthol and camphor are both natural ingredients with cooling and analgesic properties, making them popular choices for pain relief. When applied topically, they can reduce inflammation and soothe sore muscles and joints. Analgesics work by reducing pain signals sent to the brain, while cooling agents like menthol and camphor create a numbing sensation that can help alleviate discomfort. Together, these ingredients provide a powerful combination for pain relief, particularly for conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, and headaches. For added relief and sensation, we have combined real mint oil to help boost the cooling feeling of our new CBD Balm.
