3:1 Extra Strength Releaf Balm

CBD is known for reducing inflammation. THC has been shown to directly engage with pain receptors. When the two are combined, they enhance each other's benefits in what's known as the entourage effect. The combination of CBD & THC often results in more comprehensive relief than using CBD alone.

If you need strong relief from pain or discomfort, a product with THC may offer more noticeable effects. However, if you're only focused on reducing inflammation and avoiding THC for other reasons, a product with CBD alone might be a better fit. Ultimately, it’s about finding what works best for your specific needs. Our 3:1 balm is considered extra strength because when both CBD & THC work together, there is a much better likelihood of fast-onset, effective relief across a range of use-cases.
