What CBD Products are Good for Pain Relief?

HelloMD’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Perry Solomon, sits down with Co-founder Pamela Hadfield to discuss what CBD products are good for pain relief.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a type of cannabinoid, a chemical found naturally in cannabis (marijuana and hemp) plants. CBD doesn’t cause the “high” feeling often associated with cannabis. That feeling is caused by tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a different type of cannabinoid.

Some people with chronic pain use topical CBD products, in particular CBD oil, to manage their symptoms. CBD oil may reduce: pain, inflammation,
overall discomfort related to a variety of health conditions
The research on CBD products and pain management has been promising.

CBD can offer an alternative for people who have chronic pain and rely on medications, such as opioids, that can be habit-forming and cause more side effects. However, more research is needed to verify the pain-relieving benefits of CBD oil and other products.
