According to The National Eczema Association, cannabis indeed has properties to combat the itchiness and appearance of eczema, especially atopic dermatitis (AD). However, not all topicals are created equal and you’ll want to be sure that there aren’t any irritants in the salve or cream. The focus should be on reducing pain and inflammation, not on smelling divine (though they are not mutually exclusive). Here are 5 cannabis products helping fight eczema.
Empower® Topical Relief Lotion , White Label. This Oregon-made product is a hemp-infused miracle. Known to help soothe skin conditions, it’s definitely a go-to. According to the website, it is also known “to reduce nerve sensitivity to pain, and to assist with skin regeneration.” The product is made with 86 percent organic ingredients, including the hemp.
Accredited for its use in the treatment of eczema, Kush Creams Natural Sensi is another best bet on finding some soothing relief. Unscented and hypoallergenic, this gentle cream is one of their most popular for good reason. It can also be used as a deep muscle pain reliever.
