Recovering From An Injury? Look No Further!

Cannabidiol (CBD) has potent healing powers for conditions as diverse as depression, arthritis and Parkinson’s disease. But you don’t have to ingest CBD to get its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and neuroprotective benefits. You can also apply CBD topically to heal wounds and abrasions on the skin, reduce the appearance of scars and treat a number of other skin issues.

Treating wounds and skin conditions with CBD topicals has been done through the millennia. They come in the form of lotions, balms, creams, oils or salves that are applied directly to the injury. The definition of injury in conjunction with these products can be cuts; lacerations; burns; puncture wounds; surgery and malignant wounds; injured muscles; or conditions such as arthritis, neuropathy, psoriasis. CBD is a versatile and effective wound treatment.

Research shows that CBD cannabis has strong analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. The body’s endocannabinoid system, involved with the process of healing itself, is enhanced with the application of CBD topicals. Often healing can often occur more quickly with CBD than over-the-counter medicines.

THE SKIN IS PART OF THE ECS
The skin is the largest organ of the body—and skin is also a part of the endocannabinoid system, with a large network of receptors in its various layers.

Just as they do in other systems and organs, the skin’s ECS receptors play a role in processes such as:

Cell growth and differentiation
Hormone production
Cellular integrity
For this reason, the skin’s ECS receptors can respond to CBD in the same way that receptors do in other parts of the body. And this means that CBD can be applied directly to the skin to treat issues such as wounds, scars and other conditions like acne.

CBD CAN HEAL WOUNDS & ABRASIONS
CBD has documented anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antibacterial properties. So, folks can turn to the molecule to:

Relieve pain
Speed healing
Prevent infection after injuries from minor scrapes and cuts, burns and deeper wounds
CBD-infused salves, ointments and lotions can be an effective first-aid treatment for minor wounds of all kinds, and it has also been used to support the healing of surgical wounds.

CBD MAY REDUCE SCARRING
When the skin’s layers are damaged, the cells work to repair the injury with new collagen fibers. This produces scar tissue that looks and feels different from the surrounding skin. Scars can simply be unsightly, or they can interfere with normal functioning.

CBD supports the regeneration of skin cells and also limits the spread of damaged cells. Another way CBD helps scars heal is by regulating collagen production. When you apply CBD directly to a scar, it can help soften and smooth it, which reduces the appearance and texture of the scar tissue.

CBD CAN HELP WITH OTHER KINDS OF SKIN PROBLEMS
Because it can promote and regulate collagen development, CBD can also help with other kinds of skin issues:

CBD-infused oils and ointments can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Topical CBD can also help reduce the inflammation and scarring of acne and skin breakouts caused by other disorders.
Some dermatologists say that applying CBD after treatments with Botox or other kinds of skin- repair procedures can help reduce inflammation and swelling as well as promote skin healing.
