Terpenes for Pain That You Must Know About

terpenes for pain

In the 1960’s researchers began to take a keen interest in the therapeutic benefits of chemical compounds found in plants. During this time, terpenes (once thought of solely as aromatic compounds) began to stand out as having distinct medicinal properties. Scientists quickly concluded that the use of terpenes for pain and other medical conditions should be taken into consideration. Fast forward decades later and the word terpene has jumped into the limelight.

terpenes for pain

Terpenes are compounds present in ALL plants. However, they are found in particularly high concentration in Cannabis. Furthermore, there are over 200 known terpenes that occur in Cannabis alone. Varying combinations of terpenes contribute to each strain having it’s own unique smell, as well as specific medicinal properties.

Terpene profiles can be manipulated to produce distinct smells and tastes, but also to elicit specific therapeutic usages. Cannabis enthusiasts like the folks at Canna-Fusion are doing just this. In addition to naturally occurring terpenoids found in the full spectrum cannabis oil used to produce their cannabis topicals, they add more terpenes to their products. Adding specific terpenes for pain and inflammation helps to heighten the therapeutic effects of the cannabinoids found in cannabis. The combination of cannabinoids and terpenes has a great entourage effect. Theses compounds work closely with one another to decrease inflammation and pain. Moreover, natural terpenes complete the therapeutic picture by increasing transdermal absorption.

3 of the Best Terpenes For Pain Management


Myrcene

Myrcene is the most abundant terpene found in cannabis. It is a highly fragrant terpene also found in plants such as laurel, lemongrass, basil and thyme. Myrcene has a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect that relaxes muscles. Studies have shown that this terpene significantly inhibits nociception, which is pain from physical damage. Studies show it may also significantly enhance transdermal absorption of topical products.

Limonene

Limonene is the second most commonly occurring terpene in all of nature, and is found in all citrus fruits as well as many cannabis strains. It possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It has been successfully used to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain, one of the main symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Like other terpenes, it greatly enhances skin penetration. The uplifting aroma of limonene may also reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.

Delta-3-Carene

Think about the pungent and somewhat sweet scent of rosemary, citrus and pine. Delta-3-Carene is produced by many plants including cannabis. Like other terpenoids, it is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It’s known as a highly effective bone-repairing terpene making it ideal for treating conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis.


So you see, the term “terpene-rich” is much more than just a catch phrase. Topical cannabis products with high terpene content are more readily absorbed and they have many other perks as discussed here. We touched on 3 of the best terpenes for pain, but there are many more out there that make ideal additions to cannabis salves and oils.

Nature itself is the best physician.

High CBD or High THC? Which Formula Is Right For Me

Topical Cannabis Ratios – High CBD /THC /1:1

High CBD? High THC? Equal parts? When it comes to CBD to THC ratios it is definitely not a one size fits all situation. When exploring the therapeutic use of cannabis finding that perfect ratio should always be  a personal quest.

Cannabis topicals can offer one of the most effective means of relieving muscle, limb and joint pain. Nowadays, it is easy to find cannabis infused creams, gels, and salves offering a variety of CBD:THC ratios. While a product with high CBD or high THC content is not necessarily better than a product with a 1:1 ratio, at times you will find that one or the other will work best for you personally.

High CBD & High THC Cannabis Strains

Different cannabis strains naturally contain varying levels of the cannabinoids CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). Generally speaking, cannabis topicals are most powerful when infused with whole plant extracts derived from cannabis strains that are high in both THC and CBD.

Many studies have proven that these molecules work together synergistically to create a more diverse set of therapeutic benefits. However, CBD and THC do play their own specific roles when it comes to their individual approach to pain management.

1:1 CBD:THC Cannabis Salve

Cannabis topicals containing THC are best used for treatment of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is generally the result of an injury or malfunction in the central of peripheral nervous system. Neuropathic pain is at times described as a shooting or burning pain and is often chronic. Cannabis infused salves such as Canna-Fusion Ultimate Cannabis Salve which are approximately 50% THC and 50% CBD (a 1:1 ratio) offer an excellent natural alternative for patients who use opiates to treat chronic pain. 1:1 CBD:THC salves such as these can be used for many different chronic pain conditions, as well as muscle tension and soreness, post-operative pain relief, and fibromyalgia.

High CBD /THC Cannabis Oils

While THC does not specifically act to treat inflammation on its own, when combined with CBD, the two work together to reduce inflammation as well as the associated pain that comes with it. Therefore, a combination of both THC and CBD is ideal when dealing with high level pain induced by the bodies inflammatory response. Canna-Fusion also offers super convenient Cannabis roll-on oils infused with whole plant obtained THC/CBD cannabinoids. Again, using the whole plant truly allows for the expression of the natural synergy between the two cannabinoids, making these roll on oils extremely effective.

High CBD Cannabis Salve

Canna-Fusion CBD Synergy Slave is a high CBD/low THC topical. Products with high CBD ratios contain both anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties, and can also provide strong analgesic effects.

 

CBD also enhances circulation and regenerates cellular activity making high CBD topicals a great option for minor first aid treatments such as burns, bruises, sprains, and most soft tissue injuries.

High CBD, High THC, Or 1:1 Ratio?

In oder to find your perfect topical cannabis ratio try starting off by using the same ratio for several days and just observe the effects. If necessary, you can then try products offering  different ratios or simply adjust the amount of product used based on the results of your trial.

Unlike transdermal patches, whole plant infused topical cannabis salves do not introduce THC into the bloodstream. Cannabis infused topicals containing THC can provide a safe alternative therapy without the psychoactive effects, no matter what the ratio.
