CBD Gummies for Pain

Ok. You’re here. You’re probably in pain (aren’t we all, just a little)? And you’re wondering if all the hype about CBD is worth it?

Finally, can I have my cake (or gummies) and eat it too? 

Yes, CBD can help the pain. And yes, gummies provide all the CBD compounds you need to fight pain - and you get to have your dessert.

In this post, we’ll uncover the mystery of CBD and its pain-fighting abilities. We’ll also go over each condition CBD may help with alleviating pain. Read on to learn the benefits of CBD and why gummies make the perfect companion.

What Are CBD Gummies for Pain?

CBD gummies are cannabidiol-infused edibles that taste like candy. CBD gummy bears, like our 1000 mg variety pack, contain simple ingredients like sugar for flavoring, MCT oil, and gelatin. But the main ingredient - the powerhouse that drives pain relief, is CBD. 

CBD is derived from cannabis, with one caveat. There are two varieties of cannabis - marijuana and hemp. Unlike marijuana, hemp contains relatively low amounts of THC. For this reason, legislators finally legalized hemp in 2018. 

In the Farm Bill Act, congress made CBD legal for sale as a supplement, as long as it contained at or less than 0.3% THC. While CBD tinctures and CBD isolates are popular, many don’t like the taste. 

You can also find flavored CBD oils and tinctures if you are not fond of the taste of the unflavored. Most customers mainly prefer CBD oils for their organic ingredients, free of artificial flavors and colors.

Why Use CBD Gummies?

Manufacturers, like Eden’s Herbals, devised a way to make CBD accessible to those of you who don’t care for the earthy yet sometimes bitter taste of CBD oil. Apart from their great taste, CBD gummy benefits include the following:

• You don’t have to purchase a vape with them.
• They’re easy to take on the go.
• CBD gummies are discreet, making them perfect for work or on-the-go situations.
• Apart from pain relief, CBD gummies relieve anxiety.
• Unlike THC, CBD won’t make you high.
• Safe and well-tolerated, according to the World Health Organization.

How Do CBD Gummies Work to Relieve Pain?

CBD gummies work like standard deliveries, such as CBD oil, except your digestive system first metabolizes it. Once in your digestive tract, CBD gummies are processed through your liver and connect with your ECS.

Known as the Endocannabinoid System, the ECS is a complex structure inherent in all mammals. It regulates everything from organ and tissue function to pain receptors. Scientists are still uncovering all the mysteries of the ECS, but they have found a profound connection between it and CBD.

CB1 and CB2 receptors act as couriers between CBD and your ECS. Once your receptors have sent your ECS the “signals,” it’s thought that CBD can effectively treat a wide range of symptoms - especially pain relief.

CBD Gummies for Arthritis

According to the CDC, around 25% of the U.S. population suffers from arthritis. Just like the brake pads in your car, ligaments and tendons degrade over time. Unlike your car, however, we can’t replace your “pads” with new ones.

That’s where CBD may be a valuable resource in controlling the pain of joints rubbing on one another. In a 2016 study, rat models with arthritis were given CBD to see its effects on pain and inflammation. After four days of transdermal CBD application, the test subjects showed a significant reduction in swelling.

CBD Gummies for Neuropathic Pain

According to the Cleveland Clinic, neuropathic pain results from a damaged nervous system. It can affect peripheral nerves throughout the body. Needless to say, it’s very painful. A non-government study from 2021 demonstrated that CBD reversed pain response in rat models with sciatic nerve pain.

CBD Gummies for Inflammation

One of the key indicators of disease, including pain, is inflammation. When we “hurt,” it’s often a sign something is wrong, and our body is trying to warn us. One of the ways the body heals itself is through the indoctrination of antioxidants, such as those found in a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables.

Like all antioxidants, CBD “cleanses” free radicals from the body. CBD works by interacting with your ECS to prevent the formation of superoxide radicals, thus reducing inflammation. CBD gummies reduce swelling and help fight inflammation and pain like over-the-counter NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen.

Unlike OTC products, gummies are a more natural way of relieving chronic pain. 

CBD Gummies for Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is characterized by fatigue and an overall sluggish feeling but can also be accompanied by pain. Although relatively new, in terms of diagnosis, it’s thought up to ten percent of the U.S. population suffers from fibromyalgia. 

Because CBD targets the cannabinoid system, which regulates pain receptors, researchers are conducting studies to see if it helps with fibromyalgia symptoms. A 2020 study published by Elsevier concluded that “the current evidence is still limited, emerging data do suggest a positive effect of cannabis in fibromyalgia.”

Do CBD Gummies Have Side Effects?

No, not unless you eat a whole bag in one sitting - in which case you might have a tummy ache. In general, however, CBD-infused gummies have very few side effects. 

Eating as many CBD gummies as possible might be tempting if you’re in pain, but that’s not necessarily the best option. Consider following dosage guidelines, however, especially if you’re new. For starters, it takes time for CBD to build up in your system.

CBD Gummies for Pain: Dosage Recommendations

To start with, check out 500 mg gummies, like our CBD gummy bears. They are delicious and come in a variety of fruit flavors. Start with one gummy and wait about an hour to see how your body reacts. If your condition is more extreme, kick it up one level and consider our 1000 mg CBD gummy line. 

Lastly, if you’re on a high pain index, we have our best seller - Eve’s Sour Apple 1200 mg CBD gummies. Each gummy contains a very high amount of pain-relieving CBD - 60 mg of CBD per gummy.
