Opinions on Hemp creams.

Hello everyone, I've recently decided to purchase some compression gloves for my hands and this cream called Hemp Active cream by 5kind popped up on my screen. It has a lot of good reviews but they also have a stronger version.

I'm posting this because I've used Voltarol in the past and it doesn't really help. I tried a cold spray by biofreeze and it did me worse than good. Now, has anyone ever used this cream before? If not, I'd appreciate some recommendations when it comes to this because I've never shopped for these before.

I haven't heard of that on specifically. In my experience, there's a wild amount of hemp creams out there. As legality and regulations become more universal I'm hoping there will be a more clear way to identify how effective they will be.

Right now I rely heavily on staff/friend recommendations and what's available in nearby dispensaries. There's been a lot of trial involved. Not mcu in the way of errors, but I do not yet have a favorite.

I like creams that have both CBD and THC content as well as menthol/camphor or other "heating" component. One brand that a lot of my manual labor friends use for joint and muscle pain is Dragon Balm, but if you don't like Tiger Balm you may not care for it.

I've got a tub of cream that also has arnica in it (300 mg arnica and 300mg CBD oil per oz of cream) . I found it very good for quick pain relief, but it wasn't good for my blood pressure.

While it's not as common from what I've seen, I've really liked anything that came in an emu oil base. For whatever reason, I find the product absorbs more quickly and effectively.

I hope you find something that suits your needs.

I agree with chicken noodle, definitely try a warming cream. I have one which contains hemp, arnica, aloe vera, msm and menthol. I find it helpful to use at bedtime as the warmth is soothing. You might not be able to buy one with THC content depending on where you live.

Not what you're looking for?
