Hemp products are growing in popularity by the day. This is due to the fact that growing evidence indicates that these products are beneficial to our health. In this article, we’ll be discussing how hemp salve when applied directly on the skin during massage can help bring a refreshing and relaxing feeling. Read on to learn more!

What is Hemp Salve?

For thousands of years, people have been applying extracts derived from the cannabis plant to wounds for healing. Among the products made from these extracts is hemp massage salve. This product has a soothing and softening effect and is made by infusing hemp into a blend of therapeutic essential oils of lavender, eucalyptus, and geranium, plus organic beeswax and regenerating oils of rosehip, argan, and coconut. To use hemp massage salve, you are only required to apply a thin layer of the product over a tired joint or affected areas of skin and thoroughly massage until relief is felt.

How does Hemp Salve work?

When massages into the skin or affected joints, this product manages to deliver relief in several ways. One of the ways is through the massage sensation. Massage normally works through the physical and warming action. This is the same way a person is able to feel pain relief in affected areas by rubbing after a knock or sprain.

Rubbing usually stimulates nerve endings in the part of the body experiencing discomfort after an injury and helps block the transmission of pain signals to the brain, therefore, reducing the feeling of discomfort. When combined with hemp salve through massage, active ingredients in the product are able to penetrate the skin and are able to reduce pains and aches.

The human body has an endocannabinoid system which the active ingredients in hemp interact with. This system has receptors located throughout the body in organs such as oil and sweat glands, hair follicles, skin nerve fibers, and skin cells. Because endocannabinoid receptors are spread all over the body and in higher percentage in the skin, this makes it possible for hemp products to work more effectively when they enter the body.

You can either use this hemp product or together with hemp drops or oral hemp capsule for better results.
