Targeted Relief: Does CBD Balm Actually Work for Muscles & Joints?
When your lower back aches after a long day at the desk, or your knees feel stiff after a 5k run, you don't necessarily need a "whole body" solution. You need relief right there.
While CBD oils are fantastic for general stress and sleep, CBD Topicals (Balms) are gaining massive popularity in the UK for their ability to target specific areas of discomfort.
In this guide, we dive into the science of transdermal CBD and why our Organic CBD Balm is a gym-bag essential for recovery.
Transdermal CBD: How Does It Work?
Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and it is packed with endocannabinoid receptors. When you massage a high-potency CBD balm into the skin, the cannabinoids bind to these local receptors without entering the bloodstream.
This allows for concentrated relief exactly where you need it, helping to soothe tension and support recovery in overworked muscles.
Balm vs Oil: Which Should You Use?
Think of it like this:
- Use CBD Oil (Internal) if: You want to manage stress, improve sleep, or reduce general inflammation across the whole body.
- Use CBD Balm (External) if: You have a specific "problem area" (e.g., stiff neck, sore calves, aching knuckles) that needs direct attention.
Pro Tip: Many of our customers use the "Inside-Outside" Method—taking oil daily for balance, and applying balm to specific areas after exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will CBD balm get me high?
Absolutely not. CBD is non-psychoactive, and because balms are applied topically, they do not enter the bloodstream in a way that affects the brain.
How often can I apply it?
You can apply CBD balm as often as needed. We recommend massaging it into the affected area for 30-60 seconds to improve absorption.
Is it good for dry skin?
Yes. Because our base uses organic natural waxes and oils, it is highly moisturising and excellent for dry or irritated skin patches.
