Both massage therapy and CBD oil aim to ease the body and mind, making them the perfect therapeutic pairing. If you’re considering booking a massage or purchasing one for a friend or loved one, a CBD massage can unlock a whole new euphoric experience that will leave you relaxed, distressed, and anxiety-free.
What is a CBD Massage?
As the name suggests, a CBD massage is a massage treatment that includes CBD oils or creams. During your experience, your massage therapist will use a series of traditional massage techniques while incorporating the oil, much like they would other types of massage oil.
However, because this oil has numerous physical and mental benefits, including improved mood and reduced pain, your experience will be enhanced by the natural and soothing effects of the oil.
What is CBD oil?
CBD oil, more formally known as Cannabidiol oil, is derived from Cannabis sativa, or the marijuana plant. Unlike THC, which is psychoactive and gives users a “high” feeling, the oil is non-psychoactive but still carries many benefits. Of note, research shows that CBD oil can be a powerful solution for chronic pain management and anxiety relief.
To make CBD oil, cannabidiol is extracted from the cannabis plant and mixed in with a carrier oil, like hemp oil or coconut oil. Once properly prepared, it can be added to several products, including topical ones, like creams, lotions, shampoos, and skincare solutions. As well as consumable products, like beverages, candies, and other food items.
What are the benefits of CBD oil during a massage?
Patients may book massages for many reasons, but most simply try to find relief – physical, mental, and even spiritual. Over time, research has shown that CBD oil, whether applied directly, can help them achieve that level of relief.
CBD massages bring together the best of both worlds, making it a popular service for individuals seeking to elevate their massage experience. Patients who book this service can take advantage of the many benefits of this massage, including the following:
- Relieves pain: The anti-inflammatory properties of the oil can help patients find relief from chronic pain or pain associated with arthritis, injury, or general muscle soreness. When used in combination with massage techniques, the oil benefits can be enhanced, leaving patients with less pain by the end of the session.
- Reduces stress and anxiety: The oil interacts with the endocannabinoid (ESC) system, which is responsible for regulating your mood, memory, sleep, and even your appetite. Choosing a CBD massage allows you to benefit from the therapeutic qualities with the additional boost of cannabinoid-based relief from stress, anxiety, and even fear.
- Improves skin health: Because the oil has anti-inflammatory properties, it can also be used to help treat and soothe common skin conditions, including acne, eczema, and dry skin. After your treatment, you’ll likely notice smoother skin and relief from any existing skin issues.
- Extends your massage experience: If you’re looking for a way to increase the effects of your massage, CBD can do just that. Most patients who receive a CBD massage will enjoy the euphoric feelings for up to two hours after leaving the spa or treatment center.
A massage is a great way to treat yourself and find relief from pain, stress, and anxiety. Adding CBD oil to your massage is a great way to take your experience to the next level and increase the already plentiful benefits of this traditional treatment.
