Description
The skin is the largest organ in the body, and as such, when tough muscle and joint aches occur, it’s important that you take the time to choose the right topical product for your needs.
What is CBD Balm?
CBD balm is a topical form of CBD that is applied directly to the skin. It is made by combining CBD extract with carrier oil such as coconut oil, beeswax, or shea butter. Essential oils are sometimes added as well. NuLeaf Naturals full spectrum CBD balm is made with two simple ingredients organic shea butter and highly concentrated full spectrum hemp extract.
CBD balm and other CBD topicals are typically used for recovery. Some users also find it to be effective in aiding muscle recovery due to exercise. CBD balm’s main benefit is that it can be applied topically to certain areas of the body rather than being ingested orally, which some users find to be more effective.

What is CBD
What is CBD?
A cannabinoid is a type of fat-based compound produced by cannabis plants. Compounds like CBD, CBG and THC are perhaps the most well-known types of cannabinoids, but there are over 100 different kinds we know of. Many cannabinoids exert their own unique therapeutic properties. CBD, for instance, is widely touted for its anti-inflammatory effects. This is due to the fact that cannabinoids can interact with our bodies’ endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is made up of chemical messengers and receptor in our body that are responsible for functions, that help maintain homeostasis, or balance, within the body.
Supercharge Your Endocannabinoid System with CBD
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) comprises three component parts: endocannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors, and enzymes. These work together to create homeostasis, or simply put, a state of balance within the body’s internal systems. The ECS interacts with numerous parts of the body, constantly making precise adjustments in order to maintain a consistent state of equilibrium.
Endocannabinoids bond with different cannabinoid receptors in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as in immune cells — the two primary receptors being CB1 and CB2. Then, special enzymes go to work, helping to break down any already-used or excess endocannabinoids, further assisting in maintaining homeostasis. Some of the key functions that the ECS helps to regulate include:
- Appetite
- Mood
- Stress
- Digestion / Gut health
- Memory
- Immune function
- Sleep patterns/sleep quality
- Temperature
- Pain sensation
- Inflammation
- Exercise-induced euphoria (pleasure/rewards)
