Sink Into A Deeper State Of Relaxation...
Isn't it amazing how relaxing a good massage can be? Many people choose to get massages to reduce muscle tension, pain, soreness, spasms, and joint pain. And you know what else is amazing? CBD can do all of that too! Plus, it helps reduce inflammation in your skin and promotes muscle recovery, leaving you feeling rejuvenated. Complementing any massage adding CBD to a relaxation/swedish massage can make your muscles feel soft and relaxed, leading to a deep zen state of mind. If you're looking for a more intense massage, CBD in a deep-tissue/therapeutic massage can help your muscles relax more quickly, resulting in a more productive session and less soreness afterward.

What is CBD?
​
CBD, short for Cannabidiol, is a substance derived from the male form of cannabis called Hemp that has very low levels of THC, about .03%. Unlike marijuana, CBD won't get you high as it's a non-psychoactive chemical with no mind-altering effects. Interestingly, CBD activates the body's endocannabinoid system when applied topically due to a high concentration of cannabinoid receptors found in the skin. CBD oil contains phytocannabinoids that mimic the functions of the endocannabinoids produced in the body, which are the chemical messengers of the endocannabinoid system. With its potential analgesic, antispasmodic, and neuroprotective properties, CBD topicals could potentially help people alleviate symptoms of chronic pain conditions by soothing overworked muscles, reducing muscle spasms, and minimizing pain and inflammation in arthritic joints, and preventing nerve damage.

Honestly, does CBD work?
​
It can differ from person to person, but there is definitely some exciting research about how CBD can be beneficial. Of course, we still need more studies to know for sure. From what I've seen with my clients and my own experiences, CBD can help take your relaxation to the next level and leave you with a more tranquil feeling. Some people say they feel the benefits of CBD massage right away, while others might take a couple of hours to catch on. Everybody's different!
