Some people with chronic pain use topical Hemp products, in particular Hemp oil to manage their symptoms of pain, inflammation and overall discomfort. The natural plant-based remedy is becoming a more popular form of treatment, as an alternative to over the counter or prescription medicines.

How does Hemp oil work for pain relief? 

The body has a cell-signaling system known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS). A system of natural biochemicals and their responding receptors which are responsible for proper brain and body function. Research shows that Hemp interacts with a core component of the ECS - the endocannabinoid receptors (tiny proteins attached to your cells) in your brain and immune system. They receive signals, mostly chemical ones, from different stimuli and help your cells respond. This response creates anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects that help with pain management, meaning that Hemp oil may benefit people with chronic pain, including arthritis.

Hemp Oil can also be used to help ease stress and Anxiety, bringing a sense of calm to the mind and body if you are starting to feel anxious. Hemp Oils which contain supportive amounts of phytocannabinoids and terpenes can have additional positive effects on the neurological system. Phytocannabinoids contained within the Hemp plant play an important role in the body’s ECS.

An article published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology in January of 2012 states “the ECS can be considered as a regulatory buffer system for emotional responses.” 

Therefore maintaining its health is critical to maintaining healthy levels of anxiety.

Hemp terpenes “are fragrant oils that give Hemp its aromatic diversity.” Some aromas provide more anti-anxiety benefits than others. For instance, the terpene linalool has a floral, citrus, or spice smell and it provides many benefits related to anxiety, stress, and insomnia. Additionally, the terpene limonene has a lemon or orange aroma, making it another effective anti-anxiety option. When combined together these two compounds can help users relieve their feelings of anxiety.
