Peripheral neuropathy patients deal with unbearable pain on daily basis.
Medication that treat the underlying symptoms such as pain don’t necessarily provide the desired calming effect and can prove too costly for some people.

CBD, or cannabidiol is an active ingredient in cannabis. It is derived directly from the hemp plant, a cousin of marijuana, or manufactured in a laboratory. It accounts for up to 40% of the plant’s extract.
Recent studies show that topical CBD can reduce joint swelling and pain with no adverse side effects. So how does it work exactly?
