Soothing the Skin Naturally: How Cannabis Cream Helps Treat Eczema and Psoriasis
Understanding Skin Inflammation
Eczema and psoriasis are two of the most common chronic skin conditions, both driven by inflammation and immune system imbalance. Eczema often causes dryness, redness, and relentless itching, while psoriasis leads to thick, scaly plaques that can crack or bleed. Traditional treatments like steroid creams may offer relief but can cause thinning of the skin or lose effectiveness over time. That’s where cannabis-infused creams are beginning to stand out—as a gentle, plant-based option that works naturally with the body’s own systems to calm irritation and support healing.
How Cannabis Cream Works
Cannabis creams are rich in cannabinoids such as CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), both of which interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a network in our skin that helps regulate inflammation, immune function, and cell turnover. When applied topically, these cannabinoids bind to local receptors (CB1 and CB2), helping to reduce inflammatory responses, calm redness, and soothe itching. Studies have shown that cannabinoids may even slow down the overproduction of skin cells associated with psoriasis, while also improving moisture retention in eczema-prone skin. The result is calmer, healthier, and more balanced skin.
A Gentle, Non-Psychoactive Solution
Because cannabis creams act locally, they don’t produce any psychoactive effects—making them a safe and versatile choice for daily skincare. Formulas that combine CBD-rich extracts with natural oils such as hemp seed, jojoba, or shea butter offer additional hydration and protection for sensitive or damaged skin. Over time, consistent use can help reduce flare-ups, ease discomfort, and restore the skin’s natural barrier without the side effects linked to conventional creams.
