It is estimated that in the UK, over 10m people have either arthritis or conditions that cause discomfort, pain or inflammation in the joints. As well these aforementioned feelings, arthritis can restrict movement, having a considerable impact on a person’s day-to-day life.Arthritis is often treated with a combination of physiotherapy and medication, and while CBD is not a cure for arthritis, more people are exploring its potential to ease tension and discomfort. A recent poll from the Arthritis Foundation found that 80% of respondents were either using CBD, had used it in the past, or were considering it. In this article, we will be delving into some of the ways CBD can help people with arthritis relax, unwind and hopefully develop a more positive relationship with their body. How can CBD help with arthritis? CBD can help to unwind tight muscles, easing stiffness in the joints. While studies are yet to provide robust evidence as to how CBD can treat arthritis in humans, research in the US shows that out of the 14% of Americans who use CBD Oil, 40% of them do so as a way to help with pain relief. CBD works best when used in daily rituals, several of which are suggested to help people with arthritis. For instance, they may wish to try yoga to improve their flexibility and reduce feelings of physical and mental tension. CBD and yoga have a long, intertwined history with CBD, enlivening the senses and allowing the body to enter a deep calming state. People with arthritis often struggle to gain a good night’s sleep, which in turn often exacerbates pain and discomfort. There are multiple ways in which CBD can help create a healthy, restorative sleep cycle. For instance, CBD Balm can be lightly massaged into areas that are particularly tense or inflamed. Many people also find relief when taking CBD with a warm bath. The heat can help ease the inflammatory chemicals in joints that cause arthritis symptoms to flare up. Is CBD safe to use for arthritis?
