Any topical product you use will help relieve pain related to your muscles and superficial nerves. It does not penetrate well into a deep nerve like the sciatic nerve. Adding more THC will make the potency of the topical stronger, but not penetrate deeper. Most people who want relief of sciatic nerve pain use a CBD:THC ratio of 20:1 oral tincture twice daily every day (does not make you "high") and then after 2-3 weeks and continued use they will begin to have nerve pain relief similar to a prescription nerve pain medication such as gabapentin.
