No benefit, waste of money
I was really hoping this would work on my tennis elbow because Ibuprofen was irritating my stomach and I needed something for the pain. The smell is very pungent so you need to be aware of that. I slathered it on and I didn't notice any difference in the pain until I started mixing it with Bengay to help the smell, so it was probably the Bengay that was helping. When I spoke to my friend about the ointment she laughed and said there is no medical benefit to using CBD, in fact, she said it's mostly fish oil. And her opinion matters because she's a physician at the hospital where I work. I would recommend using Lidocaine spray or patches that have actual pain alleviating benefits acknowledged and supported by the medical community.

Hi Renee, I'm sorry to hear that you've not received the results you were looking for after your initial experiences. When it comes to CBD, everyone's experiences can be completely different. What works for one person may not work for another and due to the nature of the the hemp plant and the endocannabinoid system, there is no universal dose. For this reason, most research isn't particularly effective or efficient, and also why it is almost impossible to prescribe specific doses for specific ailments. For instance, A person who uses the same product as you for their rheumatoid arthritis has written a 5 star review below yours.... having had incredible results for pain and inflammation relief. You may want try using your product more than the one time, and apply twice or three times a day for a week. You don't lose anything by trying, and that way you"ll be sure that it's not the right product for you if it doesn't aid you. If so, we have a 30 day money back guarantee - meaning if you let us know the product just isn't for you, then you may send it back to us if you let us know with 30 days of you receiving the product, make sure you let us know through the link here:https://www.endoca.com/refunds-and-returns It may also be that what your body needs is internal administration of CBD, because topicals do not penetrate the skin barrier so people find that topical CBD really only works for them with localised issues. Also, our products are completely natural, meaning we do not add anything unnatural, or that doesn't particularly need to be in there, fragrances especially, which is why the perfume of our products remain quite natural. You may find adding your own personal preference of essential oils can help with the smell, and if you choose well, may even help you, as some have analgesic qualities such as: - Eucalyptus oil - Peppermint oil - Rosemary oil - Clove oil - Peppercorn oil and so much more. You may want to get your physician friend to search through our Trustpilot to have a look for themselves on the reviews of CBD and what it is able to help them with, they may well be surprised. Better yet, there are hoards of scientific and medical research online on the incredible anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities of cannabis extracts and CBD products in particular. Take a look here at the articles below: - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5690292/ - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4851925/ Please do let us know if you find that you do begin to feel positive effects from your CBD cream, we'd love to get your feedback.
