How Long Does It Take For A CBD Tincture To Work On Joint Pain?

CBD tinctures have become a well known remedy for joint pain. While it doesn’t have FDA approval for use to relieve joint pain, there is some strong evidence that CBD oil is effective at reducing pain and inflammation.

But how long does it take for a CBD tincture or CBG tincture to relieve joint pain?

The short answer? Some relief can occur within an hour, but you’ll get better results with continuous use after 3-5 days. So let’s get into the longer answer…

Tinctures Typically Start Working In 15 to 30 Minutes

If you use a CBD tincture you should start noticing the effects within 30 minutes if taken correctly. Some people might notice it a little later, but for most people it’s somewhere within that time frame.

Similar to over the counter pain relievers, you won’t notice instant relief. The compound has to hit your bloodstream, get processed in your liver and circulate before it takes effect. The CBD molecule interacts with the receptors that are part of your body’s natural endocannabinoid system.

If you are having trouble sleeping because of your pain, you may want to consider trying CBN tinctures. CBN can help you to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Many customers also enjoy Delta 8 tinctures or Delta 8 gummies for a more restful sleep.

For Best Results, Take Tinctures Regularly As A Regimen

While some people take cannabis tinctures on a one-off basis, others need consistent doses especially for chronic pain issues.

CBD provides immediate relief but also builds up in your body and many have found increased benefits after a few weeks of consistent use. 

The Effects Of CBD On The Brain

The total effects of CBD on the brain are not fully known, but what has definitely been established in the medical literature – such as the National Institutes of Health; is that CBD has an effect on the pain, inflammation and anxiety receptors in the brain. It’s not just a placebo; this is one reason why the compound has so much therapeutic promise and why researchers are willing to study it.

When physical pain is constant due to a chronic condition or an injury, the pain signal is constantly going to the brain. CBD, you could say, turns the volume down, but in order for it to have the best effect, you need to take it consistently.

People who take antidepressants (SSRIs) typically have to take it for a month for it to have its full effects. People with chronic heartburn typically have to take acid reducers (like omeprazole) for a couple of weeks before they start to really notice an effect. It’s the same idea with taking CBD tinctures.

So, for immediate relief? Within an hour in most cases. However, for lasting relief, you are going to consistently utilize your tincture for a couple of weeks to build up the CBD in the bloodstream to get its maximum benefits.
