Why High CBD?

Varying CBD:THC ratios can have a huge effect on how cannabis interacts with the human body. Theres no doubt that CBD and THC operate synergistically but why is it that High CBD Cannabis is stealing the spotlight?

High CBD products are definitely all the rage. But when examining the clinical applications of THC and CBD studies have shown that there is a clear rationale for combining the two. As one would imagine, CBD seemingly works best when combined with THC as well as all other cannabinoids found within the cannabis plant in its natural state. CBD is getting a great deal of attention though due simply to the fact that it is more likely to stimulate the particular cannabinoid receptors associated specifically with pain.

According to an article in Current Medicinal Chemistry, it is the CB2 receptors that “modulate acute pain, chronic inflammatory pain, post-surgical pain, cancer pain and pain associated with nerve injury.” CBD is like a key that unlocks these CB2 receptors allowing patients to experience great amounts of pain relief.

In addition, not only is CBD a more effective pain reliever, it is also more permeable to the skin than THC making high CBD oils a better choice for topical cannabis products such as Canna-Fusion. The Journal of Pain Resolution states that CBD absorbs into the skin 10 times more efficiently than THC thus leading to faster acting and longer lasting relief. Topical Cannabis products containing high CBD oil are best for treating localized physical pain. Canna-Fusion CBD Synergy Salve is a high CBD, low THC cannabis salve that is great for moderate or chronic pain relief such as arthritis. It is also great for minor first aid treatments such as burns, bruises, sprains, inflammation and most soft tissue injuries.

High CBD Cannabis salves widen the range of conditions that can be treated with cannabis. It seems that CBD alone is so effective that many topical Cannabis products utilized CBD oil derived from hemp which contains no THC whatsoever. However, the topical use of CBD combined with low levels of THC is seen by many as being even more effective. A Tale of Two Cannabinoids by Ethan Russo & Geoffrey W. Guy, supports “a distinct view that CBD and perhaps other cannabis components achieve synergy with THC consisting of potentiation of benefits, antagonism of adverse effects, summation (a` la the entourage effect), pharmaco- kinetic advantages.”

Canna-Fusion’s CBD Synergy Cannabis Salve combines the perfect high CBD, low THC ratio along with a proprietary blend of organic essential oils each with their own therapeutic benefits. Additionally, this High CBD Cannabis salve contains emu oil which has outstanding ability to penetrate skin and deliver bio-nutrients into cellular tissue. Thus, emu oil further heightens the transdermal effects of the CBD. Canna-Fusion is formulated with synergy in mind and it is truly the perfect go to cannabis salve.

Cannabis Salve for Minor First Aid

While cannabis salve is known to be a great pain reliever for deep, chronic and acute pain, it is also a perfect go-to for minor first aid. Cannabis Salve is extremely effective for treating burns, bruises, sprains, inflammation and most soft tissue injuries.

Throughout history it has been documented that many cultures around the world have used topical cannabis salve to treat skin injuries. But what modern day scientists have discovered is that the body’s own endocannabinoid system plays an important role when it comes to wound healing.

Cannabis Salve for Cuts and Scrapes

The endocannabinoid system comes to the rescue immediately when the skin sustains a wound. According to one study, it is endocannabinoids that modulate platelet function. Platelets (blood clotting cells) appear rapidly at the site of an injury in order to help stop bleeding. Applying topical cannabis directly to a wound further stimulates the body’s cannabinoid receptors signaling for the arrival of yet more platelets. Once the blood begins clotting, the wound begins the process of scabbing over and ultimately healing. Cannabis can be very powerful for patients such as diabetics who experience persistent wounds that tend to fester and remain open for lengthy periods of time.

Cannabis as an Anti-Bacterial

When it comes to cuts and scrapes, cannabis not only has a strong pain relief effect, it also contains powerful anti-bacterial properties that aid in preventing infection. According to a study conducted by the Department of Chemical Science at Università del Piemonte Orientale, Novara, Italy “All five major cannabinoids showed potent activity against a variety of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains”. Essentially, marijuana can stop MRSA in its tracks! Some scientists have gone as far as to call cannabis the most powerful antibiotic in the world.

Cannabis Salve and Wound Healing

It is documented that cells expressing cannabinoid receptors increase in concentration at a wound site within hours after sustaining injury. A variety of cannabinoid expressing cells with varying functions continue to appear at the wound site for several days post-injury. At first, specialized immune cells arrive that help to decrease inflammation and trigger the immune response. Then, within a matter of days, fibroblastic cells begin to arrive at the site. It is these cells that assist with scar formation and the actually healing of the wound. The increased presence of these cells at a wound site surely indicates that cannabinoids are integral in wound healing.

Cannabis Salve For Burns

Cannabis is one of the over 200 different species of plants that produce a chemical compound called linalool. Linalool is naturally occurring terpene that has a strong cooling and pain relief effect when applied topically. Vitamin E, a by-product of linalool, also speeds up healing and improve the appearance of burns. Lavender is high in linalool and the Canna-Fusion Ultimate Cannabis Salve utilizes oil of lavender in conjunction with cannabis to produce a very powerful cannabis salve that works wonders for burns.

Choosing the Right Cannabis Salve for Minor First Aid

It should be noted that it is best to exercise caution when applying anything directly to an open wound. When being used on broken skin, be sure that the product is free of harmful solvents such as alcohol. A cannabis salve such as Canna-Fusion’s Ultimate Cannabis Salve that uses carrier oils such as coconut or almond are much safer. Additionally these type of carrier oils also have their own medicinal properties such as being anti-microbial.

Topical Cannabis for Sun Exposure

Summer heat and sun exposure can wreak havoc on the skin. But beyond just sunburns, exposure to damaging UV rays and high temperatures can aggravate a variety of skin conditions. Luckily, topical cannabis provides a powerful way to treat and even prevent skin problems that arise during this time of the year.

Sun exposure is inevitable in summer. Whether you enjoy soaking up the sun like a lizard or just get out more often on sunny summer days, we all overdo it from time to time. While sunburns are usually the main concern, the sun’s powerful UV radiation can actually lead to many more serious, long term skin issues. Premature aging, sun spots, and skin cancer are all things to be more concerned about. While this type of sun damage may not be apparent at first, it can catch up with you later in life. It is extremely important to be proactive in protecting ourselves against sun damage early on. Topical cannabis provides the perfect way to do so, and here is why…

UV radiation depletes the skin’s antioxidants, particularly vitamin E. Antioxidants are what provides the skin with protection against UV rays. The cannabinoids found in topical cannabis products naturally boost the skins antioxidants and provide many benefits to the skin, making topical cannabis the prefect go to in summer month. Canna-Fusion cannabis salve actually contains added Vitamin E for even greater levels of protection.

Canna-Fusion Ultimate Salve also contains Emu Oil which is known to promote natural healing of skin tissue. It too has high levels of anti-oxidants, as well as collagen and anti-inflammatory properties. Emu oil is known for its outstanding ability to penetrate skin and deliver bio-nutrients to tissues.

Unfortunately, acne and eczema flare ups become more common during summer too. Increased perspiration combined with sun exposure tends to aggravate these conditions. Topical cannabis is proven to successfully treats both of these ailments. Apply topical cannabis products directly to blemishes and affected areas of skin to help ease these types of skin irritation more rapidly.

Summertime Skin Saver Tip:

The powerful anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties that topical cannabis offer definitely help to alleviate painful sunburns. But apply Canna-Fusion’s Ultimate Salve PRIOR to sun exposure to increase your skin’s antioxidant level and help alleviate sun damage in advance.
