The Honest Hemp CBD Massage Oil is bringing our lockdown self-care to new levels! But what exactly are the effects of a CBD massage oil? Why should you consider incorporating a CBD skincare product into your routine?
We’ve made it super easy for you, and gathered together all of the important information that you might want to know before buying this product!
What are the benefits of CBD skincare?
When using CBD topically (on the skin), the CBD does not enter your bloodstream. Instead, you will absorb the CBD deeply into your skin.
Cannabinoid receptors are located in the skin all over our bodies. As the body’s largest organ, our skin has the highest amount and concentration of these cannabinoid receptors. The CBD from skincare products interacts with these sensory receptors.
Studies recognise that CBD can be an anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant. When you experience pain, it’s often the result of inflammation that can arise from tension or overuse of your muscles, joints, tendons, and other body parts.
Therefore, the effects of using a CBD Massage Oil can effectively help to diminish some of this pain, tension, and inflammation. It does this by targeting specific cannabinoid receptors on any part of the body.
Additionally, because the cannabinoid receptors in the skin absorb the CBD immediately, it can work very quickly to treat that area. Unlike with CBD oils or edibles, we do not ‘lose’ CBD from it passing through different areas of the body.
How can a massage improve my wellbeing?
Anyone who has received a massage will know how incredibly relaxing they can be. But a massage can actually provide far more clinically proven benefits than just feeling good!
1. Boost the immune system
Studies have shown that receiving a massage can improve the production of white blood cells which fight against disease.
2. Reduce inflammation
A massage can help to soothe sore muscles and reduce inflammation. If you incorporate a CBD massage oil into this, you may find this effect is boosted even more.
3. Reduce pain
A direct effect of reduced inflammation is reduced pain. If you experience some tension or pain in your muscles, then regular massages can alleviate this. Once again, incorporating CBD into this routine can help to reduce pain even more effectively.
4. Improve mental wellbeing
Studies have shown that massages can have a positive effect on the hormone cortisol, which is responsible for stress levels. Massages can also increase levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, which can induce feelings of pleasure and happiness.
5. Improve joint flexibility and circulation
A massage helps to improve tissue elasticity in your muscles. This will increase flexibility and reduce tension. A massage will also improve blood circulation, which allows more oxygen and nutrients to be delivered into the muscle.
Why use a CBD massage oil?
CBD massage oils are designed to provide yet another beneficial element to a regular massage.
As mentioned above, a massage can help to improve a number of different physical and mental aspects of your wellbeing.
By adding the CBD element to a traditional massage, you can gain a deep topical absorption of the compound. The effects of a CBD massage oil can promote anti-inflammatory effects and relieve the pain even further.
Plus, you do not necessarily need to have somebody else massage you! You can use a massage oil as a general body oil, and you can apply it by yourself to any area of the body.
