In a small town like Cleveland, Texas, when someone walks through the door of Happy Hippy Haus and says, “My joints have been killing me, I just need something that works”, I know they’re carrying more than pain—they’re carrying days where movement felt like a hurdle.
That’s why I created Hemp & Stone and why our salve Nana’s No-No holds a special place in my heart. Because for people living with arthritis—whether osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, or other joint-related wear and tear—finding relief has been known to help restore not just motion, but freedom in daily life.
Today, let’s talk about how CBD has been known to help with arthritis, what science and guest experiences suggest, and how Nana’s No-No is made to support that journey.
What Science Suggests about CBD & Arthritis
The science is still growing, but several studies highlight how CBD has been known to help with arthritis and joint pain.
-
One study of people with various types of arthritis found that after using CBD, the participants reported an average 44% reduction in pain, with 83% saying pain improved, 66% saying physical function improved, and 66% saying sleep quality improved. PMC+1
-
Research looking at rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis found that CBD reduced key inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-8, MMP-3) in lab models of the disease. PMC+1
-
Another systematic review showed that in trials of CBD for chronic pain (including arthritis), reductions in pain ranged from 42%–66% in many cases. PubMed+1
-
That said, some studies found no significant difference from placebo for arthritis pain when using topical CBD. Harvard Health
So what do we take from this? CBD has been known to help many people with arthritis—reducing pain, improving function, helping sleep—but the evidence is not perfect and more research is needed.
What Guests at Happy Hippy Haus Share
Here’s what I hear from guests who use Nana’s No-No (which includes CBD) alongside good lifestyle choices:
-
A retired neighbor told me her knees felt less “gritty” on mornings after she used the salve at night. She said: “It’s not gone, but I got up and walked without that deep ache I’ve carried for years.”
-
A guest with rheumatoid arthritis told me using Nana’s No-No under her clothes during flare-ups has been known to help her joint feel more flexible and less locked-in.
-
Another guest, after a long landscaping day, said applying the salve and combining it with light movement has been known to help the soreness fade and recovery feel faster.
These are individual stories—every body and every joint is different—but they show what can happen when you combine community-driven products like Nana’s No-No with mindful care.
How Nana’s No-No Fits In
Here’s why I believe Nana’s No-No Healing CBD Salve stands out for folks with arthritis concerns:
-
It’s topical, meaning it’s applied directly where you feel it. Some research on arthritis suggests that applying CBD to the skin (over joints) has been known to help reduce pain and inflammation. Harvard Health
-
It’s crafted in small batches with intention: vegan, clean ingredients, and third-party tested so you know what’s in the jar.
-
It supports the rest of your routine: using a salve doesn’t replace movement, stretching, rest, or other supportive actions—it complements them.
If you’ve been using lighter solutions and still feel limited—or you’re just starting your joint-comfort journey—Nana’s No-No offers an option that many in your community have welcomed into their routines.
My Invitation to You
If you’re living with arthritis, want to care for your joints, or are looking for natural options that have been known to help others—consider giving Nana’s No-No a place in your toolkit. Stop by the store at 21445 TX-105, Cleveland, TX or browse online under the Hemp & Stone collection.
Remember: every body is unique. You might find that what works for one person shifts over time. I always advise guests to consult with your doctor or healthcare provider before adding new tools—especially if you’re on medication or managing other conditions.
Thank you for being part of this community and trusting us at Happy Hippy Haus. We’re here to support the movements, the rooted moments, and the little joys that make a day worth getting up for.
With gratitude,
Sam
