Topical CBD (cannabidiol) has been studied for its potential to relieve localized pain and reduce inflammation when applied directly to the skin. Unlike oral CBD, topical formulations (creams, gels, oils, or balms) aim for localized effects with minimal systemic absorption, avoiding psychoactivity from THC and liver absorption (in oral CBD). Research includes preclinical (animal) models and small human clinical trials, primarily for conditions like arthritis, neuropathy, and musculoskeletal pain. Source Paper in the Links📄
