Eczema is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide and is characterised by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, which can be quite uncomfortable. For those who suffer from eczema, finding relief can be a challenge.
CBD and Eczema
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant and is known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is a hallmark of eczema, and reducing it can help soothe the skin and reduce discomfort. CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters that regulate various bodily functions, including inflammation. When CBD interacts with the ECS, it can help regulate the immune response, reducing inflammation.
CBD skincare products that are formulated with CBD and other active nourishing ingredients such as lotions, balms, and creams, help soothe and hydrate the skin. These products can be applied directly to affected areas of the skin, providing targeted relief.
People suffering with eczema often have a damaged skin barrier, which leads to increased water loss and dry, itchy skin and therefore it is essential to hydrate and improve the skin’s moisture levels.
