The Best Cannabis Topicals for Everyday Use

With so many Cannabis products available these days it’s at times challenging to determine which is best to incorporate into your own daily routine. The benefits of Cannabis can be delivered to us in many forms. Cannabis topicals offer a great way to enjoy theses benefits without actually having to consume Cannabis. However, selecting the best Cannabis topicals can even get a bit confusing. Salves, creams, lotions, ointments, which is right and why? Here we explore some of the best cannabis topicals for everyday use.

Cannabis Infused Roll On Oils

Super convenient and discrete roll ons offer an easy option for pain relief and general discomfort for those of us who are always on the go. I personally keep one of these in my gym bag at all times and another at the office. These easy to apply and highly targeted roll on oils are extremely effective for the treatment of chronic conditions and acute injuries.

Canna-Fusion’s unique roll ons infuse full spectrum Cannabis extract and MCT oil. Combined with their proprietary blend of essential oils these topicals provide fast acting and long lasting relief without the psychoactive effects.

The Canna-Fusion line of roll on oils are available in two unique formulas, both with a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio for maximum effectiveness. Simply shake the roller bottle before use and, using the rollerball end, gently massage a dime size amount into the affected area. You can also massage the area where the oil is applied with your fingers in order to increase absorption. Canna-Fusion roll on oils are safe and effective. You can repeat application as often as needed.

Cannabis Infused Massage Oil

Who doesn’t love a good massage? But, let’s face it, we don’t always have the time or resources to schedule a professional one. That doesn’t mean we can’t give our selves a little love though. With a few simple techniques you can reap the benefits of a professional massage at home. Massage helps to relieve muscle tension, boost circulation, and create an overall greater sense of relaxation in the body. Add cannabis infused massage oil to the mix and the result can be magnified greatly.

Canna-Fusion’s THC infused Bliss Massage Oil is formulated with a perfect therapeutic balance of essential oils, carrier oils, and full spectrum Cannabis extract in MCT oil. This massage oil penetrates quickly and easily into sore or tense muscles. There is no THC psychoactive effect, just a very relaxing, calming effect on the body and mind.

Whole plant infused Cannabis oil allows for the full expression of the natural synergy between cannabinoids. This synergy between cannabinoids is absolutely critical when it comes to the overall effectiveness of a cannabis topical product. When selecting any form of topical Cannabis be sure the product is full spectrum. Science has shown that together, cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, offer a broader therapeutic scope for pain management than CBD on its own.

Cannabis Infused Salves

Salves can help decrease inflammation and pain. By applying them as soon as you have an injury, the recovery time increases exponentially. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) works to keep your body in balance. As soon as there is an injury, your ECS is there to help transfer cannabinoids to your receptors to decrease inflammation and pain.

Salves also work wonders for skin irritations caused by conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. It is always a good idea to keep Cannabis salve in your first aid kit as well for treatment of minor scrapes, bruises, etc. Quality salves have antibacterial properties and provide fast and effective localized pain relief. A good salve is smooth, silky, non-greasy, and non-staining.

Like other forms of Cannabis topicals, simply apply salve liberally to the affected area and gently massage until completely absorbed. You can repeat as often as needed. Be sure to select salves made using full spectrum Cannabis oil that contain cannabinoids such as CBD, CBG, CBGA, CBDA, CBC and THC.

Canna-Fusion Ultimate Salve , with a total of 500-600 mgs total cannabinoids/1 ounce container, utilizes the power couple THC/CBD. The THC enhances CBD’s effect of decreasing inflammation while the CBD enhances the effect of THC’s ability to decrease pain. Along with all the other cannabinoids and terpenes, there is a great entourage effect. This salve also contains comfrey oil which is known to heal bones and a unique blend of essential oils consisting of lavender, rosemary, peppermint, and arnica which may help to decrease inflammation /pain.

The best Cannabis Topicals are always tested by an accredited lab and are 100% pesticide, solvent, mold, fungicide, and contaminant free. Quality and consistency are key when selecting a topical that is right for you. Topical Cannabis is safe and reliable and has the ability to support your utmost well-being every day.

One of the main reasons people are choosing them though is that they can provide fast acting and long pain relief without the high associated with marijuana. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of cannabis can be easily attained with topical application. Cannabis absorbs through the skin and binds to naturally occurring cannabinoid receptors in our bodies. Once in contact with these receptors, the THC and CBD found in cannabis topicals can work their magic directly at the sight of discomfort.

Cannabis topicals are powerful. They can help provide relief for moderate or chronic pain such as that related to arthritis or tendonitis and can also be helpful for minor first aid treatments such as burns, bruises, sprains, inflammation and most soft tissue injuries. They are the perfect addition to any medicine cabinet.

A 2018 Civilized Culture Poll surveyed over 1,600 American and Canadian cannabis consumers about what cannabis infused products they are most interested in trying. Topicals were at the top of the list in both Canada and the United States. With so many consumers being new to the world of topicals we wanted to compile a quick go to list featuring a variety of topical cannabis essentials.

#3 Sensual Cannabis Oils

The best cannabis topicals are not just for aches and pains. Cannabis sensual oils are bringing a whole new level of pleasure to the bedroom. Topical application of cannabis before intercourse can dramatically effect the intensity and length of orgasms. There are many cannabis topicals formulated specifically for sensual use. Luminous Botanicals DEW blends can be used as a sensual lubricant. They offer a High THC formula used to accelerate arousal and enhance feeling for both men and women. And their THC/CBD blend can have the effect of delaying climax. We are talking some serious canna-lovin here!

Cannabis and sex are no new couple though. They actually have quite a long history with one another. Going back centuries, cultures throughout the world have combined cannabis and sex, such as seen in ancient tantric practices of India. People discovered long ago that cannabinoids can have a profound effect when it comes to ones sex life. We now understand the science behind this though. There is a very large concentration of cannabinoid receptors found in the “private zone”. The only other place with a larger concentration of receptors is in the brain. This tells us that the endocannabinoid system plays a major physiological role in female sexual functioning.

When applied topically to the genitalia capillary dilation occurs, leading to an increased blood flow. It is this enhanced circulation that translates to heightened sensitivity and sensation. While sensual cannabis oils will not get you high, they can help you attain a greater level of sexual wellness.

There you have it, a sweet little starter kit of some of the best cannabis topicals to try out in the new year!

By combining their 23 years of anesthesia experience and knowledge gained at the Holistic Cannabis Academy, they are able to answer questions like : What are the differences between CBD and THC? What is the best dose? And what is the best delivery system?

If you are interested in learning more about how cannabis topicals can help you, your employees, and your community a cannabis presentation or personal consultation is a wonderful resource that can assist you with navigating this exciting and evolving field. Education is key!

Cannabis Massage: An Answer to Inflammation?

Massage therapy has always been widely used to promote the recovery of injured muscles. But with recent legalization across many states we are now seeing the Cannabis massage movement is taking off. Even the most “high” end luxury spas are offering cannabis-infused services. (pun intended) But is the Cannabis massage combo the answer to inflammation that we have been waiting for?

Nearly any type of massage has the ability to help reduce the pain experienced when our muscles become stressed. Our bodies respond to massage with a variety of biologic reactions associated with reduced inflammation. The exact same thing can be said for Cannabis topicals. While mechanism may vary, both Cannabis and massage work to combat inflammation and thus can help ease pain. By combining the powers of topical cannabis and massage we are seeing that great results can be achieved when aiming to manage inflammation and pain.

How Massage Works on Inflammation

Massage therapy has been shown to help reduce inflammation at the circulatory level. Pro-inflammatory cytokines get released into muscles following intensive exercise. This release of cytokines triggers the subsequent activation of neutrophils (white blood cells), the main type of cells involved in acute inflammation. One study has shown that the increased blood flow achieved by massage may actually slow down the inflammatory response by reducing the amount of time it takes for neutrophils to become activated.

Swedish massage is one of the most effective types of massage for relieving inflammation. This technique uses long strokes and circular motions which tend to really get blood circulating. However, when administered correctly by a professional massage therapists, most styles of massage can successfully reduce inflammation.

How Cannabis Works on Inflammation

Science has shown time and time again that cannabinoids found in Cannabis are able to significantly reduce inflammation. Just like massage, CBD helps to regulate cytokine production and in turn suppress inflammatory responses. THC assists with apoptosis induction, a biological event proven to be extremely important in the control of inflammation. But while CBD and THC play slightly different roles when it comes to regulating inflammation, many studies have proven that these molecules work together synergistically to create a more diverse set of therapeutic benefits.

Whole plant extracted cannabis oil containing both CBD & THC is believed by many to be more beneficial than products containing CBD alone. Terpenes found in Cannabis also carry with them many therapeutic properties that help combat inflammation.Whole plant cannabis extracts containing THC, CBD and terpenes are best when treating pain associated with the inflammatory response.

“the sum of all the parts that leads to the magic or power of cannabis” – Chris Emerson

The Cannabis Massage Combo

Given that both have amazing abilities to help reduce inflammation, it seems only natural to combine to powers of cannabis and massage. Many spas throughout states where Cannabis has recently become legal are now offering Cannabis massage as part of their repertoire. The stigma about this healing plant is fading. We are now seeing Cannabis entering into the mainstream world of healing modalities.

Many massage therapists are working solely with hemp-derived CBD products though. While these are more widely available, they only contain trace amounts (<0.3%) of THC. When seeking out Cannabis massage be sure to do your research and find a therapist such as Transcend Bodywork in Portland, Oregon that uses Cannabis derived topicals.

Canna-Fusion, also out of Oregon, will soon be releasing a THC massage oil similar to their roll-on topical Cannabis oils. While most THC-infused topicals contain only about 0.3 percent THC, Canna-Fusion THC Massage Oil will contain 400 mgs THC/4 0z. Canna-Fusion uses whole plant infused oil because it allows the expression of the natural synergy between cannabinoids that is so pertinent when it comes to treating inflammation.

In addition to being a powerful anti-inflammatory, Cannabis massage can help to alleviates stress, increase muscle relaxation, and eliminate chronic pain. You will not get high during or after the massage, just very relaxed. Cannabis massage is completely safe, non-intoxicating and extremely beneficial, not only for you, but for your massage therapist as well as it eases their hands from the work they put into their massages. Not only will you not get stoned, but your body will benefit greatly in a number of ways.
