How does Rapid-Ease compare to CBD

• No one is sure how CBD works in the human body and it is unproven for acute pain. It may have some benefit for anxiety and insomnia, and may reduce overall inflammation for chronic injuries or inflammatory conditions. But research shows this is slow & unpredictable -it takes around 2-4 weeks. Also getting dosage amounts is difficult -in some cases CBD actually increases acute pain. CBD with THC is more likely to be active for inflammation but it has narcotic and addictive side effects. It will make you sleepy, unfocused and dangerous when you are in a position of responsibility, operating vehicles or heavy equipment. means you will test positive for drugs in work place or driving narcotic testing. may have some benefits. Medical marijuana is prescribed for serious, unrelenting pain conditions like cancer and again has an addictive, narcotic side effect. CBD is not approved by the FDA – except for 1 epilepsy drug.
• Rapid Ease gives you a safe and effective non-narcotic option to help you take control of your pain and injury and to speed your healing process - naturally.

If you are treating a sprain, strain or tear is wise to rest the injured area and minimise movement for the first 24-48 hours, with gentle strapping for support. But keep moving within your range of pain - gentle range of motion movement helps the body repair processes.
• Always read the label and follow advice -avoid Ice, NSAID & Opioid drugs as they delay your healing & have side effects.
• Rapid-Ease is great to use with knee brace, foot brace, heat pad, back, foot & neck massager. You can lightly strap the area to give extra support and protection especially during the first few days of healing.
