Understanding Cannabidiol and CBD Massage

To better understand the advantages of CBD massage, a good place to start is by knowing what CBD is not and what it is. It is not marijuana and does not contain the psychoactive ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), meaning it does not cause one to become “high” or experience any state-of-mind change when using it. Pure CBD is cannabidiol, a compound that occurs naturally in hemp but causes none of the effects associated with marijuana. In its pure form, with no THC included, CBD is deemed safe, non-addictive and legal to buy, sell and consume in all 50 states.

The legality of CBD, and the recent surge of activity surrounding it, stem from the Congressionally-passed Farm Bill that was signed into law on December 20, 2018. In an article published the following day – headlined “Farm Bill Sets the Stage for Legal CBD Across the Country” – Consumer Reports® wrote that this is “good news for consumers who use or want to try various products infused with CBD, which is non-psychoactive. And it could soon mean more products for consumers on retail store shelves. The bill also allows farmers to legally grow industrial hemp.”

CBD takes massage to the next level, a logical upgrade to the massage experience, because the benefits of CBD oil can now be enjoyed via absorption through the skin. Consumer Reports, in its 12/21/18 article, stated that “…many in the medical community and in the public say that CBD can be potentially helpful for certain health conditions. Most notably, it has clearly proved to help reduce the number of seizures in people who suffer from two devastating forms of epilepsy. The FDA approved the CBD-based Epidiolex earlier this year. A growing body of preliminary research suggests that CBD has properties that improve health. For example, it appears to act as an anti-inflammatory, which in theory could help with arthritis and some forms of pain. And it has many effects on brain chemistry, which could ease anxiety and depression, among other conditions.”

While CBD may be introduced to the body via the consumption of CBD oils and various edibles, many believe that one of the best ways to experience its effects is through the skin. And while potentially beneficial to people of all ages, it is particularly so for seniors in helping to relieve certain types of pain often associated with aging. For those who may have concerns regarding the possible interaction of CBD with medications they are taking, it is always best to seek the advice of one’s physicians and other health professionals.
