CBD Patches Concerns: 7 Questions to Get You Started

We are convinced that, in the world of Cannabidiol (also known as CBD,) there is something for everyone because there are so many ways to use and consume CBD. From oils and tinctures through to edibles, skin creams, and even personal lubricant, there are numerous ways to reap the many benefits of CBD.

While products for oral consumption have dominated the market so far, there’s a new player that promises to offer an easy, consistent, and convenient CBD experience: CBD patches. In today’s post we will take a close look at these innovative patches, exploring their potential benefits, uses, and what sets them apart from other CBD products. If you’ve ever been curious about alternative methods to incorporate CBD into your wellness routine, read on.

What are CBD patches?

CBD patches, also known as CBD transdermal patches, may be ideal if you’re hesitant to use edibles or oils or if you want a slow-release way to get your daily dose of CBD. A patch is a small sticker that you apply to your skin. It contains cannabinoids that are absorbed transdermally (through your skin) into the body over time.

CBD patches continuously release CBD over 24-36 hours. If you have ever used a nicotine patch to help you quit smoking, it’s the same principle. They allow you to apply CBD to your skin instead of ingesting it orally, which results in a gradual release rather than one large hit. This slow release is the key benefit of CBD patches over CBD liquids or foods. If CBD oil, gummies, or pills make you drowsy or have other unwanted side effects, you may find that CBD patches suit you better.

Why do people use CBD patches and are there any downsides?

People use CBD products, including CBD patches, for many different reasons. While CBD is not a substitute for medical care and will not necessarily treat or cure any conditions, it can help your body and mind to enjoy a greater sense of general wellbeing. Many individuals have reported experiencing relief from chronic discomfort after using active CBD oil pain management products. Similarly, many sufferers of depression and anxiety report that CBD products have reduced their symptoms and improved their quality of life.

You can easily regulate your serving size with CBD patches, as each patch has a specific amount of CBD in it. This means it is easy to keep tabs on how much you have consumed.

Additionally, there are benefits to consuming CBD gradually instead of all at once. Many of the less desirable potential side effects of CBD can be avoided when the CBD enters your system in a slow-release manner. It can also be advantageous to utilize CBD to target a certain location, like a muscle or joint. If you already use CBD balm or ointment for this purpose, you may choose to switch to CBD patches as they provide a consistent dose in a reliable delivery mechanism.

One of the few downsides of CBD patches is that, instead of a full-spectrum or broad-spectrum extract, they often contain only one type of extract. As a result, you will only be using isolated CBD and not a combination of other cannabinoids and other advantageous plant substances. Capsules provide a comparable gradual release if you want to enjoy a full-spectrum or broad-spectrum effect instead.

How do CBD patches work?

Like collagen or nicotine patches, CBD patches are applied directly to the skin. They contain cannabinoids which your body is able to absorb through your skin. CBD supports the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a vital role in several bodily functions including eating, immunological function, pain perception, inflammation, and sleep patterns.

Although the exact mechanism by which CBD works with the ECS is still unclear, it is believed to block an enzyme that the body uses to break down anandamide, an endocannabinoid produced by the brain. Another name for anandamide is the “bliss molecule,” and the ECS can function more efficiently if there is more of it accessible.

How long does it take CBD patches to work?

We know that transdermal patches are an efficient way to transfer CBD into your bloodstream. But how quickly should you expect them to take effect? The average time for the CBD to enter the body is one hour, and rather than happening all at once, it will do so in a slow but constant stream over 24-36 hours.

Further study is required to determine if slow-release CBD use is better for you than a single, bigger serving, and we currently rely on topical CBD usage data to inform what we know about transdermal CBD absorption rates. Although the bioavailability of topical CBD may reach 45%, this is believed to stay localized.

How long should you keep CBD patches on?

We sell 15mg cannabidiol patches from CBD Brothers that are intended to be worn for 24–36 hours. Your body will require this amount of time to absorb all the cannabinoids. Even if you decide to leave the patch in place, it will eventually lose its effectiveness. Therefore, if you want to continue using the patch, you must replace it. Always check the label for your particular brand when you begin using CBD patches.

Where’s the best place to put a CBD patch?

Although you can apply your CBD patch anywhere on your body, it is sensible to pick a hair-free area to guarantee greater skin contact. (This will also make it painless to remove the patch when it has run out.) Your thigh, back, abdomen, inner arm, upper arm, or wrist are all good places to put your CBD patch. Additionally, you should consider why you’re using CBD patches and apply the patch appropriately if you are looking to target a specific area.

Are there any side effects from CBD patches?

It’s important to pay close attention to your body and watch out for any potential reactions because there hasn’t been enough research on CBD patches to understand all potential side effects fully. Dry mouth, gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea or vomiting, changes in appetite and weight, and drug interactions are some of the most typical side effects of oral CBD use, and it is possible that some or all of these may also be a risk with transdermal CBD usage.

Since CBD doesn’t enter your system all at once when you use a patch, it is reasonable to assume that there is a lower risk of side effects. However, there is a risk of allergic skin reactions to the substances in the patch. You should pay particular attention to how your skin reacts and, if you have really sensitive skin, CBD patches may not be the right choice for you. You should take the patch off and cease using them if you experience any redness, itching, pain, or irritation.

So what’s the verdict on CBD patches?

CBD patches provide another possible way to use CBD and enjoy its many benefits. This approach has several noteworthy advantages, including a fixed serving size and slow absorption rate. Instead of ingesting a large quantity of CBD all at once, using a patc guarantees your body a constant supply.

Pay attention to your body and be aware of the possibility of a negative reaction while using any CBD product, and stop using them if side effects occur.
