Cannabinoids are naturally occurring chemical compounds found in numerous plants. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of 100+ cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant and the primary cannabinoid found in hemp. Unlike its well-known counterpart THC, CBD is non-intoxicating—meaning it won’t alter your cognitive ability. For this reason, the effects of cannabidiol are more closely associated with the body than the brain.
How Does CBD Work?
Although it’s still somewhat of a mystery, studies suggest that cannabidiol interacts directly with our own endocannabinoid system (a complex network of cannabinoid receptors found throughout the central nervous system) to produce a variety of effects—from promoting relaxation to providing pain relief. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) moderates vital functions such as hunger, mood, pain and body temperature. It’s also responsible for maintaining homeostasis, a state of equilibrium in which all bodily systems are optimally functioning to provide physical, cognitive, and emotional balance. While scientists have only begun to scratch the surface, it appears that once cannabidiol enters the bloodstream, it binds to select receptors within the ECS to support vital functioning. Additional findings indicate that CBD may act as a neuroprotectant with anti-inflammatory benefits.
Benefits of CBD Massage Oil
For the ultimate restorative experience, you need a massage oil infused with full spectrum, high potency CBD. Cannabidiol extracts blended with therapeutic oils such as jojoba provide soothing relief while maximizing CBD absorption. CBD massage oil offers a number of holistic benefits, such as:
Anti-Inflammation & Pain Management
Inflammation is often at the root of chronic pain. CBD’s naturally occurring anti-inflammatory properties are an effective method of chronic muscle and joint pain management. CBD massage oils are thought to aid in alleviating pain brought on by neuropathy, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, as well as general chronic pain.
Relaxation
Massages are perfect for releasing tension from our bodies, and by extension, our minds. After all, muscle tension is frequently a result of mental stress. CBD massage oils crafted with aromatherapeutic and calming essentials oils aid in easing stress and anxiety, while promoting full-body relaxation.
Skin Health
CBD oil features a host of properties that can aid in the treatment of conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. Most CBD massage formulas contain nutritive topicals such as sweet almond and rosehip seed oils that serve to hydrate, reduce inflammation, and improve appearance of the skin.
Rejuvenation
Have you ever noticed how a thorough massage can invigorate your entire being? CBD massages elevate this sensation with unique properties that support stress reduction and revitalize sore muscles and joints.
