Being active is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. When you walk a little further, lift a bit more weight, or set your fitness goals even slightly higher, your body builds back stronger. Although your body can tolerate a considerable amount of stress and strain, when you push them too far, you’ll know.
That discomfort you feel is a sign that your body is functioning exactly as it should. But that knowledge won’t make the experience any more pleasant. Body fatigue and stiffness linger for days. When you’re in distress, you want relief.
Whether you typically reach for anti-inflammatory medication or wait for the pain to subside, maybe you’re ready to try a different approach, a safe, natural product that could help support your body’s natural ability to relax, CBD.
Based on a blind survey answered by 2000 CBDistillery™ customers, survey respondents confirm that this natural plant element is typically used for better sleep, to feel more relaxed, and for less stiffness, inflammation, and discomfort after physical activity. An impressive 9 out of 10 CBD users prefer CBD over turmeric for natural relief.
Pain, stiffness, and inflammation function as a distress signal, a sign that your body needs time to heal. The uncomfortable sensations are typically caused by microscopic injuries necessary to build strength and endurance. As blood flow increases to injured muscle fibers, you’ll likely notice a slightly warm sensation in the affected area.
Quite often, the pain and irritation get worse before they get better. Researchers tend to agree that muscle pain intensifies during the days that follow because of secondary damage caused by the initial repair processes. The specialized white blood cells that help repair injuries release free radicals that damage surrounding tissues.1
Most often, equilibrium is restored within 48 to 72 hours after strenuous activity, but not always. If you continue with similar intensity before tissues repair and the inflammation subsides, you could get caught in a repetitive cycle of trauma and inflammation.
So, where can CBD fit into the post-activity recovery equation?
People today tend to be more interested in health and wellness products that target the cause of their discomfort rather than managing or masking symptoms.2 That observation likely explains why so many health-conscious consumers tend to prefer holistic treatments that support overall health and wellness over the pharmaceutical options lining store shelves. With growing enthusiasm for plant-sourced solutions, adults of all ages are turning to hemp-derived CBD for relief.
CBD (cannabidiol) is the most abundant of the many plant elements in industrial hemp classified as a cannabinoid. Unlike the THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) found most abundantly in marijuana, CBD does not cause intoxication. That makes hemp-derived CBD products the perfect option for adults interested in the health and wellness potential of the cannabis species who prefer avoiding the “recreational” effects.
Researchers have been investigating how CBD works and what it does for decades. Although most of the evidence supporting the possible health and wellness benefits are based on animal tests, lab results, preliminary trials, and the testimony of CBD users, preliminary investigations reveal an impressive number of intriguing properties.3
The potential impact of CBD is explained by the way it mimics the effects of two important substances produced in your body, the endocannabinoids anandamide, and 2-AG. CBD mimics the effects of these chemical messengers and relays urgent signals to their corresponding receptors located throughout your body, the receptors of your endocannabinoid system (ECS).
Not that long after identifying this previously undiscovered communication system, researchers determined that its primary function was to regulate the processes involved in homeostasis, the internal balance required for survival. When internal or external forces threaten to disrupt that balance, homeostasis restores equilibrium. Since ECS function helps regulate everything from your moods, emotions, and immune system responses to muscle function and the perception of pleasure and pain, the benefits of using CBD seems to depend on which processes might be restored to balance through ECS support.
Since everyone’s body chemistry is different, the only way to know how you might feel after using CBD is to try it. CBD-infused products can be used daily or as needed. However, it can take time for your system to respond. Based on our 2019 survey results, most daily users tend to find CBD more effective and feel the results sooner, than respondents using CBD as needed. Most reported favorable results within 7-14 days of consistent use.
When the industry was just getting started, many people were initially hesitant to try CBD. Although a considerable number of people expressed concerns about using a product sourced from cannabis, it didn’t take long for hemp-derived products to achieve mainstream acceptance.
While there are relatively few studies specifically documenting benefits for activity-induced discomfort, adults of all ages and fitness levels have been embracing the therapeutic potential of CBD based on the cannabinoid’s effects on other sources of inflammation.
CBD is generally well-tolerated and considered safe for most people. However, if you have health concerns or take medication, over-the-counter or prescription, you’ll want to first talk with your doctor or pharmacist. While the World Health Organization reveals “no evidence of public health-related problems,” the organization did specify that most side effects from CBD use are caused by drug interactions.4
But like any other health and wellness product you might consider using, side effects are always possible. While the risk of mild side effects from CBD is impressively low, there have been reports of fatigue, dry mouth, stomach upset, and diarrhea. Most often, any unpleasant symptoms resolve after cutting back on the amount of CBD used per serving. Although mild reactions can happen, 93% of our survey participants report having never experienced a negative side effect.
Based on the results of a blind survey answered by CBDistillery™ customers, CBD users report that CBD helps with the pain they feel after physical activity. Could CBD do the same for you? The only way you’ll know is to try it.
