HOW DOES THC CREAM HELP RELIEVE PAIN!!

Hi Steemit!
I have been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for 25 years. I have been on many medications to help control my pain. But have found THC cream to be top notch. I have researched this cream and have found it works very well.
Here some information on how it helps.

Providing excellent local pain relief without psychoactive effects, topical cannabis creams are becoming increasingly popular among medicinal marijuana patients.

What are they?

Topicals, as they are known, are a form of marijuana extract suspended in cream that patients apply directly to where they need it. They come as salves (coconut oil based), and creams (Shea Butter).

Salves are better for treating skin conditions since it is not as easily absorbed into the skin, whereas creams are effective for pain relief since they are absorbed quickly.

How do they work?

Since the cannabinoid receptors CB-1 and CB-2 are found throughout the body, including the skin, the cannabinoids in the ointment are absorbed where they are needed, making cannabis creams effective local pain reducers and anti-inflammator.

When smoking or eating cannabis, the cannabinoids enter the bloodstream affecting the whole body––ointments allow patients to treat specifically where it hurts.

Patients suffering from arthritis, skin conditions, back pain, and a myriad of other ailments use cannabis creams to relieve their symptoms. Clinical studies have even found cannabis ointment to be an effective treatment for antibiotic-resistant bugs like MRSA.

The topical application produces none of the psychoactive effects of the cannabis, and has almost immediate results for pain relief, thus making cannabis creams desirable to a wide range of patients.

Give it a try.
