CBD and THC Ointments for Nerve Pain

[Lynn]

Hello

First off in Canada where I live it is now legal (and man we have the shops) to have access to safe products.

I have huge chronic pain issues and in all honesty I never thought I would access such products but they have been a game changer !

LOL but everything in moderations and in proper balance. I started with a small amount of the oil you drop into your mouth, well that lead to the gag reflex going OMG so gross me out. I was OK lets try a spray that I can by pass the taste buds with. This was hit and miss !

I moved to gel caps and I am happy with them but what keeps happening is I find one from a supplier I like (as they are all created differently) and that company goes or is bought out by a bigger one. So its back to the try this and that.

I recently got some lotion topical for my nerves in my neck. I put some on one night on the neck and then the temples area and forehead. As it has a high amount of THC in it I went for a bit of a ride ! Not a bad thing I guess but finding the path to the bathroom was a bit interesting lets just say it was not in the walk in closet !

I thought it funny one night to put a very very tiny amount on the nipples WELL Do Not Try This should be on the bottle. Up they went and up they stayed all dam night the pain was unreal.... .

Lessons learned everything in moderation and a place for everything but too not a place for everything is my new saying !

Sorry for reviving this thread.
I wanted to ask if anyone has used CBD cream. Is it good, it really helps with joint pain?

[Miss Hepburn]

I don't personally have issues where I would need it....BUT, people I trust have said it helps them. YES!
Also, 10 drops of CBD internally will help sleep...maybe not the first couple nights...stick with it.

But 10 drops a day ---and 10 days later a person got off Celebrex, apparently a nasty drug for pain
(I found that shocking, but I believe her!)


HOWEVER - and again, this comes validated from multiple sources that tried this, later discontinuing the expensive CBD rubbing oils and creams.
Of course, these do near nothing if you don't have 1000 mg of CBD in the product. Gets costly!

Formula: Buy loose Comfrey tea - put oil, of your choice, in a pan, an inch, say. (coconut can get harder in a jar ...olive oil can be in a quirt bottle, see.)
Throw some comfrey in. Keep it on low for a couple hours...strain, cool.
The darker the oil the better!

Rub on the area . ..massage it in.
Even better apply heat to get it to penetrate better. Peppermint is a nice additional touch, btw.
And heat could be Tiger Balm or a Solanpas patch, also...if on the run somewhere.
Tip: wash/scrub the area first, helps with penetration.

See for yourself. With tougher areas ...I can tell you a more complicated, messy thing using Comfrey...BUT you only need to do that once or twice.

I'll never forget asking a woman loading up a bag with loose Comfrey at a Health Food Store...
that still has big jars of most everything in bulk....
"What do you know that I don't?"
She said it was for her horse's ankle.
She swore by it. Now, so do I.

Added: And 2 massage therapists I told to make a dark, strong oil. Their clients of years came back and raved.
One texted on a trip to say how it worked...after decades of massage.

I forgot to tell them about the peppermint....could be an essential oil or just a tea bag. :)
BUT really massage the area to work it in.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Comfrey tea! I'll definitely give it a try, especially with the peppermint and heat tips.

I got a CBD cream from https://joyorganics.com/, which sells it for $40, which is a decent deal compared to other places priced at $50 or more. And I've been using it for a while now, and it genuinely helps alleviate my discomfort. The relief isn't immediate, but after consistent use, I noticed a reduction in pain and stiffness.
