The next time you book an appointment at Glastonbury Massage Center, you may want to consider incorporating CBD hemp oil. Any of our massages can be upgraded to incorporate CBD oil for an additional $15 charge.
CBD (cannabidiol) has a myriad of health and wellness benefits that comes in several different forms. But when it comes to massages, CBD products fit perfectly. In fact, CBD topicals provide one of the easiest ways to take advantage of CBD’s benefits and can be used to target specific areas of the body that require particular attention for pain relief.
By implementing CBD massage oils and topicals, you can benefit both from the relaxing and invigorating effects of a massage with the medicinal pain and discomfort relieving effects of CBD.
So, how does CBD benefit the body when incorporated into a massage?
There are a number of reasons why you should consider getting a CBD-infused massage, including:
When applied in appropriate doses, CBD can treat any number of disorders related to anxiety including PTSD, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and phobias to name a few. It also appears to be a more well-tolerated substance to alleviate stress and anxiety when compared to traditional pharmaceutical medications.
All of the medicinal benefits that CBD is able to offer comes down to how it interacts with the endocannabinoid system in the body. This system is responsible for regulating a number of crucial factors in the body including appetite, sleep, memory, pain and immune function.
Cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body interact with this system to influence these factors, and CBD (a cannabinoid itself) can also interact with the endocannabinoid system to induce similar effects.
The endocannabinoid system includes two specific types of cannabinoid receptors: CB1 and CB2. While CB1 receptors are more predominantly found in the brain, CB2 receptors are found in abundance all over the rest of the body.
Unlike THC, which binds to CB1 receptors and inevitably causes a “high” as a result of its psychoactive properties, CBD has an indirect effect on both receptors without actually binding to them. This is why it doesn’t cause any mind-altering effects while still offering a wealth of benefits.
When included in a massage, CBD’s interaction with your natural endocannabinoid system can induce a number of highly beneficial effects.
A massage already comes with its own set of health benefits. The application of firm touch in the right places has been shown to have positive effects on muscle and joint pain, stress, anxiety, headaches, digestive disorders and even sleep disorders. But adding CBD oil into the mix can enhance such benefits when applied appropriately. Next time you pencil in a massage appointment, make it a CBD massage.
