How to fight joint pain with CBG

Did you know that our Baked Goods CBD and CBG combo oil could be considered for pain management? 

Lately, we’ve had inquiries on CBG and its effect on chronic aches – after all, ‘tis the season for weather changes, which are thought to increase pressure on your poor joints!   

CBG is gaining the attention of scientists, and studies are ongoing for understanding its beneficial effects. In a survey from the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, 73.9% of participants used CBG for chronic pain; they found it led to desirable results that could not be reached from conventional medicine.

Just like CBD and THC, CBG interacts with your endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate your body systems. But according to VeryWell Mind, “CBG binds directly to both CB1 and CB2 receptors and might deliver its benefits to the system more efficiently.” It could potentially heighten the functionality of anandamide, a neurotransmitter that impacts pain levels and appetite.  

So how can you take CBG oil at home? Here are some tips from Baked Goods: 

• Find a sublingual oil that combines CBD and CBG. This can help promote the entourage effect, which is when cannabinoids synergistically promote additional relief. Click here to view our Baked Goods CBD/CBG oil. 
• Further research is necessary, but CBG may interact with some medications, such as antibiotics, blood thinners, corticosteroids, GI-related medications, and immunosuppressants. Please consult with your family doctor to rule out medication interactions.
