Benefits of CBD Oil for Massage
Massage therapy is an excellent way to support both physical and mental wellness, reduce pain, and promote health and wellness.
CBD stands for cannabidiol, referring to the primary chemical compound it’s composed of. One of the primary two chemicals derived from cannabis plants, CBD is known as a holistic treatment for a variety of conditions, including inflammation, insomnia, and anxiety.
When applied topically through skillful massage therapy, the effects of CBD enhance the benefits of massage therapy for a unique combination that will make you feel like you’re floating out of the studio.
CBD FOR MENTAL HEALTH
As a cannabis-derived substance, CBD doesn’t cause a “high” like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the other main chemical substance in marijuana), while still offering relaxation benefits. Because of these benefits, CBD is often used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and similar conditions.
While the research is largely still in its infancy, CBD has been studied and shown to help specific anxiety conditions. For example, Harvard Medical School found that CBD is non-habit forming and can help relieve both mental and physiological symptoms of anxiety.
Regular massage therapy has also been proven to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression, in some cases by as much as 50%. By combining massage therapy with topical application of CBD oil, you can trust that you’ll leave the studio feeling more relaxed and focused than ever.
CBD FOR CHRONIC PAIN
CBD massage therapy helps provide relief for a wide range of conditions which cause chronic pain and inflammation, such as past injuries, arthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatica, migraines, and even cancer. Massage helps improve circulation in the lymphatic system, increase white blood cell count, and relieve muscular tension.
CBD massage oil works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which has protein receptors throughout the body that absorb CBD. These receptors are linked to circulation, pain, appetite, metabolism, and a variety of other systems. It’s shown that stimulating the endocannabinoid system can help boost the functions of all of these systems and, in turn, reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, CBD is shown to be a powerful antioxidant, which helps combat free radicals, reduce inflammation, and ease the discomfort caused by chronic pain conditions.
