🟢 Worldwide, millions of people suffer from osteoarthritis... What if CBD could change the game?
1️⃣ The number that matters
"10 million French people suffer from osteoarthritis... What if a natural, non-addictive solution validated by science could finally relieve their pain?"
Long confined to the realm of alternative medicine, CBD is now making its mark in the treatment of chronic joint pain. In the case of osteoarthritis, a painful, incapacitating disease for which there is as yet no cure, CBD represents a serious and increasingly studied option.
2️⃣ Why osteoarthritis is a silent scourge
Osteoarthritis isn't just a pain in the knees. It's a chronic disease that affects the joints and gradually destroys the cartilage. It causes pain, stiffness, loss of mobility... and a real handicap in daily life:
-
Climbing stairs becomes an ordeal;
-
Rides are shortened by pain;
-
Sleep is disturbed;
-
Autonomy diminishes, leading to frustration and isolation.
And the worst part? Conventional treatments (analgesics, anti-inflammatories, infiltrations...) often offer only temporary relief, with side effects that can be hard to bear.
3️⃣ What science says about CBD and osteoarthritis
CBD (cannabidiol) is a hemp compound with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and relaxing properties, and no psychotropic effects. Numerous studies are beginning to demonstrate its potential in the treatment of osteoarthritis:

4️⃣ How can CBD be used to relieve osteoarthritis?
CBD doesn't cure osteoarthritis, but it can significantly improve comfort. Here's how to use it properly:
CBD Oils:
→ Act quickly on pain and inflammation.
→ Gradual dosage: start with 2 to 3 drops, twice a day, then adjust.
→ Give preference to oils Full Spectrum for optimum surrounding effect.
Regenerating and Miracle Balms:
→ Apply locally to painful areas (knees, hips, fingers, etc.).
→ Soothing, targeted effect, ideal as a complement to oil.
CBD Relax infusions :
→ Act on muscular tension and facilitate sleep.
→ Useful at the end of the day for diffuse pain.
Bonus tip CBD: the effect of CBD can be enhanced by an anti-inflammatory diet, gentle physical activity (walking, yoga, swimming) and regular physiotherapy sessions.
