There are many misunderstandings about cannabis, weed, and hemp. Cannabis is a collective term for different types of plants including: weed, hemp, and hops (which is in beer). Weed is the female plant and contains, among other things, the psychoactive substance THC, which produces a "euphoric" feeling. However, 'hemp' is the male plant and it contains no THC and therefore no high/stoned/euphoric feeling!
These patches are made from hemp extract and contain various types of cannabinoids that work on the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). The hemp plant is one of the few plants that contains high concentrations of cannabinoids, which is why it is used to extract CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN, and other substances.
Endocannabinoid system (ECS)
The human body has a very extensive endocannabinoid system. This is an important biological system, and every human also produces cannabinoids themselves. These activate the cannabinoid receptors (CB receptors) in the body. The endocannabinoid system is still being researched, but it may be involved in regulating physiological and cognitive processes, including fertility, pregnancy, pre- and postnatal development, various activities of the immune system, appetite, pain sensation, mood, and memory. Cannabinoids have a wide range of properties and act on specific receptors that can be found throughout the body, but especially in the brain and the immune system. This is called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), and every human possesses it. Every human also produces small amounts of cannabinoids themselves, so it is a body-own substance.
THESE PLASTERS WORK AMONG OTHERS FOR:
- Menopause; hot flashes and sweating
- Restless legs (RLS)
- Neuropathic nerve pain
DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE: Oral versus patches
Research shows that oral products (in the form of tablets, capsules, etc.) have low bioavailability (absorption by the body). This is due to the so-called first-pass effect. During digestion by the stomach, the stomach wall, and the kidneys (among others), the substances are broken down by the stomach and it takes up to 2 hours. And only 20-30% enters the bloodstream, and the resulting percentage is only 6%! The patches release the substances through the skin within 10 minutes and go directly into the bloodstream. After all, there is no digestion process. This increases the absorption capacity to approximately 65%.
We can therefore state that these patches (due to their 15x higher effectiveness) are 15x cheaper than oil!

WHEN SHOULD I APPLY THE PLASTER?
"That depends on your complaint. You can apply the patch in the morning, for example after showering, and/or in the evening before going to bed. It is wise to vary the spot; in some cases, people experience some degree of skin irritation."
WHERE SHOULD I PUT THE PLASTER?
"It is best to stick the plaster on a painful spot and otherwise on a pleasant spot, for example on the hip. If your skin is a bit oily, we recommend cleaning the area of skin before applying the plaster. This will help the plaster stick better."
SIDE EFFECTS
"If you have a high sensitivity (notice a strong reaction), then the dose is too high and you should stop, or you can cut the patch in half or into quarters. This way you can reduce the dosage."
SKIN REACTION
In some cases, users experience an allergic reaction on the skin (skin irritation). Then apply the patch to a different location or stop using it.
COMBINATION WITH MEDICATIONS
Natural ingredients can enhance or block certain medications or some drugs. If you are using medications, consult a doctor.
NOTE: You must use the patches every day for at least 14 days to draw a conclusion! You can also apply 2 or 3 patches to see if a higher dosage works better for you. This varies from person to person.
