CBD PRODUCTS ATND MASSAGES
he hottest buzz in the spa world is the benefits of infused CBD products and massages. CBD is non-psychoactive and
anti-inflammatory. Massage oils infused with CBD, are very therapeutic for the mind and the body.
What role does CBD play in a massage?
The anti-inflammatory and pain relieving agents of CBD reduces inflammation within muscles and joints, allowing us to work more effectively. People seek massages to relax and escape stress. For anyone who does any sort of sport, CBD has been linked to accelerating the recovery and healing process of injured connective tissue.
How does CBD work?
The CBD receptors (known as CB2) are part
of the endocannabinoid system, which is the physiological system that helps the homeostatic functions within the central nervous system. This includes maintenance of bodily functions, pain, inflammation, and the immune system.
CB2 receptors are found in nerve and immune cells in just about every organ. CBD binds to CB2 receptors as well as TRPV1 receptors. Damaged tissues sensitise TRPV1 to its chemical and physical stimuli. Adding massage further benefits the stimulation of TRPV1 activity and has a positive influence on the CB2 receptors, which helps alleviate inflammation and pain.
What does CBD do for the skin?
CBD is an anti-inflammatory foundation for healthy skin, focusing on cell renewal regulation of moisture balance, antioxidant properties to strengthen and activate the immune system along with fighting the signs of ageing.
