Rugby and CBD as a PAINKILLER

Injuries are an unavoidable part of the sport, and while it sucks, it’s part of the process to look forward to. Especially in a collision sport like rugby. This is why elite competitors have been using cannabis for years to heal and relax.

And, we know that to always be 100% in contact sports, pain relievers are needed. You can choose to consume pills or as in this case, medical cannabis.
So today we will look at the case of Anna Symonds. She is a professional athlete from the world of Women’s Rugby, and explains to us how CBD positively affects her daily life as an athlete. In addition, she is a member of the non-profit advocacy organization Athletes for Care, and has been speaking publicly about her experiences with CBD and cannabis. She is hopeful that others who are struggling with pain can find their way to a safe and speedy recovery.
Anna is 38 years old and has been a professional rugby player for 19 years. She continues to compete at the highest level of the US national women’s competition, she is convinced that the healing properties of CBD, along with a nutritious diet, are crucial to my success as an athlete.
Over the past few years, medical cannabis has completely replaced all pharmaceuticals. From prescription pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxants, to over-the-counter pain relievers. Like aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen that you stopped taking almost five years ago.

There are two areas in Rugby where CBD helps, and they are as follows.

PRECOVERY

The goal of pre-competition preparation. Although it is also known as “recovery”. This is where you have to optimize your physical, mental and emotional condition before match day in order to perform at the highest level.
Anna tells us from her experience, that she takes full-spectrum CBD-rich supplements as part of a health regimen. in order to lower your stress level and support general well-being.
Instead of having physical anxiety before the game, she can laugh and bond with my teammates – it seems that between a third and a half of the team uses cannabis before the game.

RECOVERY

After the game, Anna, along with the high-quality hydration and calories, uses cannabis in some form. Using a ratio of CBD and THC that is most appropriate for my needs at the time, we found that THC offers more powerful relief for acute pain.
Cannabis quickly relieves new bruises and strains. Also for deeper injuries, such as sprains or strains, which are a common part of rugby.

Also try enjoying a warm Epsom salt bath after the game using cannabis-infused salts. And then, apply cannabis ointments to abrasions to promote healing.

An extra fact is that many components of cannabis have natural antibacterial effects. And these kinds of ointments help Anna’s skin heal faster than antibacterial ointments from drugstores.

This way of loving and caring for your body and mind is truly enviable. I don’t know about you, but I, without being a professional athlete, am going to take a marijuana-infused bath this Christmas.
