Hemp extracted CBD has been very useful to human life for many years now. By acting upon CB1 and CB2 receptors of our Endocannabinoid system, CBD supports our body in a fight against many physical and mental ailments. Many diverse forms of CBD oil, like tinctures, gummies, and coffees, are formulated for the same goal – aid in healing. But their use depends on your needs, all of which are available for purchase at Smilz. For instance, our coffee can help in increasing your energy level and our CBD tinctures help you with stress and anxiety. 

The two most popular methods of CBD oils are discussed in this article; Oral and topical. In oral consumption, CBD enters the body and is broken down by the digestive system to perform its services. On the other hand, in topical application, CBD is applied directly on the skin where the pain or infection appears.

Despite being different, they both share the same objective of achieving the homeostasis level which is necessary for our body regulation. 

 

CBD Topicals

CBD topicals provide external aid by being applied on the surface of our skin. Our digestive system breaks down the consumed CBD compounds to make them useful and effective, but when it comes to minor physical pains or infections, the digestive system stands in our way and CBD fails to provide the aid. In such cases, CBD topicals quicken relief from pain and stiffness. Our CBD topical products target the pain caused directly or indirectly by inflammation. It activates the TRVP1 receptors that are responsible for controlling the cell-signaling protein that controls the mechanism of inflammation.

Oral CBD enters your bloodstream and digestive system when consumed directly, thus, it makes it more suitable for helping to alleviate serious diseases like insomnia, anxiety, and post-cancer treatment. On the other hand, topical CBD is applied on the surface of the affected area which means it has low bioavailability and makes it more suitable for dealing with pains and inflammation. The oral CBD product takes up to 30 minutes to show its effects while topical CBD might show its effect immediately.
