3 Cannabis Topicals Perfect for After Your Workout
Cannabis is quickly becoming a popular after-workout supplement as it offers many benefits to athletes of all levels. Both a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, it can help relieve sore muscles, increase blood flow and reduce inflammation from rigorous activity.
Topicals are a great alternative to smoking, vaping or eating cannabis after a workout for several reasons. They’re very fast acting. While other methods must wait until the THC/CBD is absorbed into the body, topicals are applied to the skin offering immediate localized relief. They’re also convenient and can be used anywhere at any time.
The most effective cannabis topicals contain THC but because they’re absorbed through the skin, these products won’t get you high. Check out these three topical products that can help your body recover after exercise:
