Hemp and CBD for pain: what do you need to know?
CBD creams and gels for pain? Hemp oil-based cosmetics ? Super-effective massage balms? With an anti-inflammatory effect? CBD and hemp oil cosmetics are the talk of the town, to say the least. In this article, we try to help you understand to what extent and for what type of pain CBD creams, balms and gels can be effective. Let’s make one thing clear: there are cosmetics with isolated CBD extracts (most of which include hemp oil in their composition. ) and cosmetics based on hemp oil (generally containing CBD, but in smaller quantities than creams and other products enriched with CBD isolate). Their local use is supposed to provide the same effects overall, but in some cases they can be more effective with CBD-containing products, which is what will interest us in this article:
What do we know about the pain-relieving effects of CBD and hemp cosmetics?
The use of hemp oil creams to treat pain is becoming increasingly popular due to its potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Hemp oil cosmetics, such as skin creams and balms, are a natural skincare option for chronic pain sufferers. However, it’s important to note that results can vary considerably from person to person. Massaging gels with hemp oil have been on the market for some years now, and while we still lack in-depth scientific studies, the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD, for example, have been well and truly proven, but as far as hemp oil is concerned, studies are ongoing and only feedback from people who have used these famous hemp oil massaging gels, creams and balms can testify to their effectiveness. And given all the hype, it’s clear that the inclusion of hemp oil in products designed to alleviate chronic pain is not just a fad. This ingredient has every intention of making a name for itself among pain-relieving creams!
That’s what it’s all about! But let’s take things one step at a time.
What is hemp oil?
Hemp oil is an oil extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant and generally contains high levels of cannabidiol (CBD), an active component of the plant with a priori anti-stress, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. CBD is increasingly used in cosmetic products to penetrate the deep layers of the skin, providing local relief from pain and inflammation. By using hemp oil creams rich in CBD, it is possible to achieve significant pain relief, according to the most frequent testimonials. However, it’s important to choose high-quality creams, balms and gels to benefit from their beneficial effects on the skin. Products containing CBD can vary considerably in terms of quality and composition, so it’s important to do your research before you buy. At cannahouse, we’ve done the work for you. We scrupulously analyze the composition of every hemp oil and CBD cream – gel – balm we offer for sale to ensure that their active ingredient content is in the high range of available products, by scrupulously analyzing provenance and manufacturing processes in direct discussion with the manufacturers and based on feedback from our tens of thousands of customers who have already tried these hemp and CBD creams to alleviate their pain.
How do CBD and hemp work against pain?
There are many rumours and testimonials reporting that CBD reduces inflammatory pain and calms the nervous system, helping to soothe chronic or occasional aches and pains such as backache, joint pain and fibromyalgia. It also relieves muscle tension and is much appreciated by sports enthusiasts, especially when they are involved in intensive activities and their muscles, tendons and joints are under heavy strain. The Dr Kent brand offers a CBD cream specially designed for sportsmen and women to help them relax their muscles, protect their tendons and joints from wear and tear, soothe aches and pains and relax their muscles. Many elderly people report that CBD and hemp creams and gels are highly effective in relieving osteoarthritis and rheumatism. In our activecann range, you’ll find various hemp creams, balms and gels used for massages, but also to help relieve all the aches and pains mentioned above, such as chronic pain, osteoarthritis, joint pain and so on.
The most important thing to remember is that local application of hemp oil is said to have anti-inflammatory and therefore pain-relieving properties – no wonder! For more information, please visit our page dedicated to massage and relaxation with hemp.

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, some of which are already proving the anti-inflammatory effect of CBD, but we’ll probably have to wait a few months or even a few years to have enough studies and hindsight on the subject before seeing more of these products integrated into the pharmaceutical circuit (this is already the case, but it’s a safe bet that it’s only the beginning). In the meantime, these hemp and CBD products have already won over tens of thousands of users across Belgium and France. CBD-rich hemp oil creams 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 they do not cause side effects or harmful interactions with other drugs or treatments. Investing in high-quality cosmetics could therefore help you in many ways.
