There is a huge difference between using CBD in a topical or in an ingestible. A topical consists of lotions and balms that is applied to the skin, an ingestible would be in the form of a gummy or tincture that you ingest directly.
Topicals are great for applying to the area of need directly. Your skin absorbs the CBD directly and applies it to the muscle or joint in that area. They work best if used directly after a hot shower, used continuously throughout the day, or prior to sweating/exercising.
Ingestibles are slightly more effective, but also more complicated. These are great for more intense pain and can apply CBD to your entire body. There is no brian fuzziness or decreased critical thinking when taking CBD. To take an ingestible it’s important to take with food so the CBD has fats and carbs to bind with in your stomach, otherwise you might feel slightly light headed (similar to tea or coffee). It’s also important to ensure you know your dosage, start with small amounts and work your way up.
When used properly a topical and ingestible can be one of the most effective ways to use CBD for your game. For example, taking an ingestible and applying CBD topically on a specific area will allow your body to focus on where it needs it most and has the best results.
