Reducing Inflammation

You are probably all too familiar with the feeling of tired and aching muscles after a workout (or DOMS as it is technically referred to). In numerous studies, CBD has been shown to be a powerful anti-inflammatory with analgesic effects to reduce the pain associated with that. CBD balms are some of the best muscle recovery options that you can buy right now.

Extending Runner High

An endogenous compound that known as anandamide is released in the brain after a workout that produces a bliss feeling. Unfortunately, an enzyme known as FAAH quickly eradicates it from the body. Fortunately, CBD has been shown to inhibit FAAH thus prolonging the feel-good runner high.

Lowering the Cortisol Levels

The body perceives a workout as stress to the body, which is why cortisol is usually produced. While it has its positive effects, cortisol helps reduce protein synthesis that can hinder muscle growth as well as recovery.

Calming Anti-Anxiety Effects

The relaxing anti-anxiety effects that may promote a good night sleep thus promoting recovery is perhaps the thing that CBD is best-known for.

The Bottom Line

CBD is undoubtedly a safe and effective alternative to get rid of pain and inflammation following a tough workout and your chosen method of consumption will determine when you use this cannabinoid.

You can apply CBD creams directly to the area affected to target specific inflammation and pain. However, to ensure the best results and to boost your endocannabinoid system it can be a good idea to add one of the other products too.
