CBD Patches
CBD is very effective and popular for muscle, joint and back pain. It is an approved cosmetic product. CBD is continuously released from the patches and is absorbed through the skin directly to the site of pain, relieving it. Read more about the effects of CBD patches. There are smaller, 2 x 2 cm patches with 20 mg CBD for joints and larger, 8 x 10 cm patches with 100 mg CBD for back or larger muscle areas. Apply the patch to the sore area. The effect takes effect within 1 hour and lasts for 12 hours.

How do cannabis patches work?
The heat from your body activates the cannabis patch and causes it to release a small amount of CBD through the skin into your bloodstream. The good thing about transdermal delivery is that the CBD is absorbed through the skin and directly into the bloodstream. It bypasses the lungs, liver and stomach (the places where the body filters or breaks down the cannabinoid).
CBD patches for pain
For some people, using patches for chronic pain is the easiest way to use CBD (as opposed to oils or ointments for pain). You just stick the patch on and forget about it for a while.
What kind of pain are they best for?
Also, a patch is more effective if you want to treat a specific area, such as your shoulder or lower back, than if you're dealing with generalised or scattered pain and inflammation throughout the body.
How to use CBD patches?
The cannabis patches must not be applied to mucous membranes or injured skin (open wounds). Be sure to read the instructions on the packaging before use, but generally follow the steps below.
Remove the plaster from the packaging and stick it to the sore area. Adhesive plasters are best suited for soft tissues, such as the lower back, and not for joints, such as the elbow, where they can come off with movement. Do not wear the patch for longer than recommended on the packaging, remove it and apply a new one if necessary.
How to dose CBD patches?
If you are just starting with CBD, it is recommended to choose the golden mean and take the 20mg patch, if you have more pain, I recommend the EXTRA patch.
When do the effects of CBD patches start and how long do they last?
The effect of the patches starts within about 30 minutes and lasts for 10 to 12 hours.
Are CBD patches better than CBD oil for pain?
Because you wear the CBD patch for several days, the CBD is released slowly and evenly, which can be helpful for chronic pain. Unlike CBD oil, you don't have to remember to take another dose.
However, patches are not as effective as ingested oils when it comes to relieving the entire body. You'll get better results with a plaster if you're trying to treat a specific area, such as a calf or shoulder.
Some people are also allergic to the adhesive and added chemicals in CBD patches, so they can cause irritation if you have sensitive skin.
Do the patches contain THC?
No, these cannabis patches only contain CBD as the active ingredient.
