Topicals

CBD topicals refer to any skincare or cosmetic product that contains cannabidiol (CBD) as a primary ingredient. It comes in many forms, including creams, lotions, balms, and salves, and they are applied directly to the skin.

CBD topicals can be absorbed through the skin and interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for regulating various bodily functions such as pain, inflammation, and mood. While research on the effectiveness of CBD topicals is still ongoing, many people use them for skincare and pain relief purposes.

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. It is one of over 100 different cannabinoids present in cannabis and is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the "high" associated with marijuana use.

CBD has gained popularity in recent years for its potential therapeutic benefits, including relief from pain, anxiety, and inflammation, as well as its use in treating epilepsy. It is commonly extracted from hemp plants and is available in various forms such as oils, capsules, and topical creams.

CBG, or cannabigerol, is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is considered a minor cannabinoid because it is present in much lower concentrations compared to other cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. CBG is derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), which is the precursor to many other cannabinoids.

CBG has gained attention for its potential therapeutic benefits, some studies suggest that CBG may have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, as well as potential applications in treating glaucoma, inflammatory bowel disease, and other conditions.
