Moderate to strenuous exercise can cause minor damage to your muscles, which can trigger inflammation as your body attempts to repair the area in question. Studies have shown that CBD might play a beneficial role in combating exercise-induced inflammation, which could result in a faster recovery time after exercising.

Many people looking for pain relief and/or recovery use a two-pronged approach. They take CBD internally via CBD oil or CBD capsules, plus they also use a CBD topical to apply the CBD directly to the problem area.
