CBD massage uses CBD-infused oils or creams during massage therapy, enhancing traditional techniques like Swedish or sports massage. CBD, derived from the cannabis plant, interacts with the body’s nervous systems to promote homeostasis, aiding in mood regulation, pain management, and overall relaxation.
Unlike THC, CBD does not cause intoxication, even at concentrations as high as 0.3%, the legal limit in the U.S. This makes CBD massages a great option for those seeking the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects.
Research highlights CBD's potential to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health, making it beneficial for conditions like peripheral neuropathy and muscle pain. Always ensure your CBD products are high-quality and discuss their use with your massage therapist, adhering to local regulations. It's important to consult a healthcare provider before trying CBD massage, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have health concerns.
