If you do not want to take CBD orally or do not enjoy the the bitter taste of hemp, then CBD balms and creams are a great options, especially if your aim is to improve muscle recovery post workout, treat an inflamed muscle / tendon or simply look after your skin and keep it hydrated.
Naturecan cooling menthol CBD muscle balm is a great option to deliver CBD locally, by applying the desired amount of CBD to the target area, and gets to work quickly, usually within 15-30 minutes.
This CBD balm from Naturecan is derived from organic hemp plants that are grown under the highest agricultural directives in Oregon (US) and their CBD extracts are produced using Ethanol extraction. This process results in high-quality CBD topicals, using all-natural ingredients and made without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides.
Naturecan CBD balm is classified as broad-spectrum CBD. In addition to the active CBD, their full-spectrum topicals contain other all-natural hemp extracts such as CBDv (Cannabidivarin), CBG (Cannabigerol), CBDa (Cannabidiolic Acid), and naturally-occurring terpenes, flavonoids, and Omega acids which helps increase the effectiveness of their CBD oil, but they also enhance what’s known as the “CBD Entourage Effect” – a physiological phenomenon wherein the properties of active hemp compounds appear to be more powerful when consumed together rather than by themselves individually.
We would also recommend looking at other Naturecan topicals, as the company has developed a range of multi-purpose cannabis-infused creams, balms, gels and massage oils. Their topicals include:
One thing to note is that whilst CBD balms are great, they are only for topical use and are often used in conjunction with other CBD products such as CBD oils or CBD capsules to provide maximum relief.
This CBD balm from Naturecan is ideal for people who already use other skincare products, balms, salves, creams or massage oils and who want to incorporate CBD into their daily routine. Whilst all topicals are applied to the skin, be sure to check what each product has been designed for, as topicals have different properties including:
CBD topicals are highly effective because they target a specific area of the body, to bring relief and to nourish the skin quickly. All you need to do is choose an area that you would like to target with your CBD balm and to apply it generously until is has been completely absorbed by the skin.
The human body contains a specialized system called the ECS (the endocannabinoid system), which aim is to regulate a variety of functions such as sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response. The body also produces endocannabinoids, which are simply neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system.
CBD is believed to interact with specific receptors, specifically the CB1R and CB2R.
Serotonin, or 5-HT, is a neurotransmitter that carries signals from one neuron to the other. CBD increases the level of serotonin, which, in return, helps reduce pain, reduce inflammation as well as provide a range of other health benefits, which include:
Naturecan CBD balm has many advantages over other CBD products such as CBD oil or CBD capsules.

CBD Oil for Sleep & Anxiety
“For any sceptics out there can I just point out that I was once right there with you! But, after decades of consistently poor and broken sleep, long spells of insomnia and having tried herbal ‘sleep aides’, alcohol, exercise, you name it; something had to give. Using Nature Can CBD oil as a sleep aide has literally turned it all upside down! Not just that but it’s aides with anxiety, post exercise recovery, helps me with niggles and aches that plague me as a result of historic spinal surgery and generally getting older! Read the research; decide for yourself. I don’t recommend anything unless I mean it so, if you’re on the fence, get down off it!”
– Graham
Great After the Gym
“I thought I’d give this oil a try and I’ve noticed the health benefits after a few days of improved mood, concentration and restful sleep. Would give 5* if it became a bit more affordable!”
– S. Mistry
CBD products are legal in the UK as long as the plant which have been grown contain less than 0.2% of THC, the legal limit in the UK. The reason for this is that THC is known to be a psychotropic substance and limiting the amount of THC ensures that CBD is safe to consume and will not have any psychoactive effects. In other words, CBD won’t get you “high”.
You will not be arrested or fined for buying, consuming or carrying CBD products, anywhere in the UK, as long as it has less than 0.2% THC in it.
What is illegal is to grow the hemp plant(s) yourself, at home. Growth for personal use is strictly prohibited by the Misuse of Drugs Act of 1971. To do so, could result in up to 5 years in prison and/or an unlimited fine.
CBD falls under “novel foods”, which means that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) oversees CBD products and they can therefore enforce new laws and regulations and they have recently done so.
Since the 31st of March 2021, all CBD products must be approved by the FSA in order to be sold in the UK. Failure to do so will result in the products being removed from the shelf. This request for approval means that the exact ingredients within a CBD will be known, making it safer for the general public.
As a CBD company, Naturecan plays the transparency card with their customers. They guarantee that the product you are purchasing contains the exact amount of CBD advertised on their site, without any THC (the intoxicating compound in cannabis). Naturecan joined the Association for The Cannabinoid Industry (ACI) and the Centre for Medicinal Cannabis (CMC) to help build a better supply chain and raise the standards of the CBD industry in the UK.
Since many CBD products contain pesticides, herbicides, mould, fungi, dangerous mycotoxins and not the amount of CBD or THC advertised on their site, Naturecan CBD are working closely with Evio Labs and Green Leaf Labs, two US based companies offering analytical testing for CBD products.
In addition to being sourced and extracted from the highest-grade certified organic US hemp, they guarantee that their products are 100% organic and free of synthetic ingredients.
They allow customers to see their Certificates of Analysis online by going to the certificates of analysis page, which breaks down the potency of cannabinoids. The tests available to customers do not however highlight the presence of terpenes and flavonoids, as well as the absence of heavy metals, mycotoxins, pesticides or microbes, which we think is a shame but pretty standard in the industry.
