As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed some issues with arthritis in my fingers.
- Initially, the symptoms were quite mild.
I noticed a bit of stiffness as well as swelling in my knuckles; My hands hurt a bit at the end of the day. I managed to find relief with natural condo remedies such as drinking dark cherry juice as well as eating green raisins soaked in gin. About a year ago, while in the middle of the summer, my fingers swelled up so much as well as so suddenly that I had to split off my rings. My knuckles ached so badly that I couldn’t open jars, weed the garden or braid my hair. I struggled with zippers as well as typing on a keyboard. I distraught that my quality of life was permanently diminished. I looked into the different medicines available to treat arthritis as well as read about the extensive harmful side-effects. I then came across success stories from people who had turned to cannabis to treat arthritis symptoms. As a plant-based medicine, cannabis avoids the long term risks! CBD, a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, has proven effective at relieving pain as well as inflammation. CBD doesn’t cause a high sensation. I am able to use CBD products before, while in as well as after work with no worries. I can go about my typical activities without worry. I choose full spectrum CBD products with a trace of THC because studies have shown that the combination of different cannabinoids as well as terpenes work best. I apply cannabis-infused topicals directly to my knuckles. I also locale a few drops of a tincture under my tongue to treat the arthritis from the inside.
