I have found CBD salve to be one of the most beneficial and healing products available at the dispensary. Over the years I have tried countless products from Icy Hot, China Gel, Calmadolores Voam, and various CBD salves until I most recently found Mary’s Medicinals CBC. The salve is used to provide internal and external healing. The product helps with pain, inflammation, and muscle soreness that comes from daily activities from working on a computer to texting, lifting weights, yoga, arthritis, and other ailments.
Icy hot products have a higher dosage of menthol and methyl salicylate that give you that pronounced “icy feeling” that causes the mind to think the product is working. Mary’s Medicinals CBC salve does have a touch of menthol so you will feel a slight sensation, however, the real star of the show is the 100 mg of active Cannabinoids. This product specifically has 100 mg of Transdermal Compound activated with CBDA and THCA.
Without getting too scientific the cannabis plant has various chemical compounds besides the most common CBD and THC. Extracting these chemicals for their medicinal benefits has most recently proved to be beneficial for internal healing.
When using a CBD salve it is important to remain mindful and coheres the body into reaping it’s healing benefits. Especially since you will likely not feel a lot of external sensations understanding that the healing is internal within the muscle tissues is key. Using a simple mantra like “I am healing” is a great way to start mindful healing. Repeat the mantra as you apply the salve to the body.
After the salve is applied I like to smoke a small dose of cannabis. I find that combining the internal healing of the salve with the external affects of THC work in harmony to provide optimum healing to the body. The body begins to vibrate at higher frequencies and I can feel the muscles starting to pulsate. Quietly internalize that sensation allowing the plant to work its magic on both the mind and body.
CBD salve is a holistic solution to those hindered by a desk job, medicinal ailments that cause muscle pain and inflammation, as well as injuries prone by recreational activities such as lifting weights and yoga.
If anyone is currently reaping the benefits of CBD salve let me know! I’d love to hear any positive feedback from the cannabis community.
