The use of CBD oils, creams and lotions is popular in the therapy industry. 

From sales within clinics to patients, to them filling racks at trade shows, I've seen them everywhere.

Sparked by curiosity I wanted to find out what the research says about the use of transdermal CBD specifically and if these topicals serve any therapeutic benefit whatsoever. 

Have a listen to this week's episode to find out what I found. Do you agree with my findings?

We'll see you in the next one!
