What does this tell us about the future of CBD and hemp in pain relief products?

Hemp and CBD are increasingly used in pain relief and anti-inflammatory creams. Numerous studies are underway, and some have already proven CBD’s anti-inflammatory effect. However, we’ll probably have to wait a few months, if not years, for a sufficient number of studies and hindsight on the subject before these products are more widely integrated into the pharmaceutical circuit (which is already starting to happen, but it’s probably only the beginning). In the meantime, hemp and CBD products have already won over tens of thousands of users in Belgium and France. Hemp oil creams rich in CBD could be an effective means of relieving pain, but it remains important not to regard them as magical remedies that cure and soothe all forms of pain, and to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment to ensure that they do not cause side effects or harmful interactions with other drugs or treatments. Investing in cosmetics can help you in many ways.
