Hemp-Infused Topicals Best Practices
Hemp topicals are products that can be applied to the body or skin to control or treat a skin condition, supply local pain relief, speed the healing of injuries, or simply to improve the condition of your skin. Our topicals are useful for all types of people who desire localized relief from aches and pains without the psychoactive, heady effects of ingesting or smoking the flower.
Because our topicals are made with hemp, they’re guaranteed to have just a trace (if any at all) of THC. According to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp is defined as cannabis that has no more than 0.3% THC and therefore it’s approved for use in all kinds of products.
Hemp topicals come in a variety of forms including salves and tinctures. Choosing the desired application is up to you. Mary Jane’s Botanicalls offers this set of best practices when applying the hemp-infused topical of your choice.
Have Realistic Expectations
Hemp-infused topicals are quite helpful for a wide variety of ailments because the cannabinoids found in the plant stimulate your body’s ability to heal itself. However, every person has a unique endocannabinoid system which means everybody will react to it differently.
You may find that a topical is very effective for treating one thing but not as effective for treating another. That is why we like to say “Just put some salve on it.” because we have found it to be effective for a very wide array of ailments, and it is worth giving it a try to see if it will help. Hemp is known to have powerful anti-inflammatory effects, so an infused topical can be quite effective for relieving inflammatory issues such as arthritis.
Don’t Be Stingy
Sometimes just a little dab will do ya, but other times you may find you need to repeat application a few times throughout the day. For healing injuries we recommend several applications a day throughout the healing process. For pain relief start with a small amount and increase as needed. You can apply as much as you like. You can’t really overdo it with a topical. So feel free to apply liberally to affected areas, or all over your body for a calming effect.
Where To Apply Your Topical
This can be as simple as applying the topical on the area where you are suffering the pain. If your knee hurts, apply the topical to your knee.
However, you might have a headache caused by a pain in your neck. In this case, you would apply the topical to your neck and not your head, where the pain is located.
If you aren’t suffering any immediate pain, you can apply the topical to those common areas where people experience frequent stress including the neck, feet, wrists and shoulders. This can promote a sense of calm or relief.
