What is a CBD Massage? CBD Massage Provides Stress Relief, Relaxation and Pain Relief

Where Do I Get a CBD Massage in Massachusetts?

What is a CBD Massage?  Does it provide pain relief?  Can I get High? Is it legal?
These are all very good questions.  There is much hype surrounding the topical use of CBD in massage treatments.  While the science is still somewhat unclear, the anecdotal evidence is mounting that CBD infused oils or lotions  provides pain relief and can help with stress and relaxation.

CBD Massages have are becoming more popular. A massage using CBD provides an unconventional path to get from muscle soreness, chronic pain, tension and stress. Topical cannabinoids are, according to doctors, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories with healing properties.

The benefits of both massage therapy and CBD individually are well known. The theory holds that by combining the two, achieved results can be more intense.  CBD will bind and act on the CB2 receptors which can be found near the skin. This will activate the endocannabinoid system to deliver relief.

Cannabis has two essential components of interest, THC tetrahydrocannabinol & CBD cannabidiol.  THC is the psychoactive component of marijuana; it's the molecule that makes you feel "stoned."  CBD on the other hand is the one of interest to massage.  It has wonderful therapeutic properties, helps relieve pain, acts as an anti inflammatory, and when used as a topical massage cream, does not enter your blood stream. It will not get you high - but it may make you feel wonderful.

Since CBD is non-psychoactive (as opposed to THC which is what allows you to feel "high") so you do not have to worry about getting a high feeling from the CBD massage. If you were to get a massage that incorporated both THC and CBD topical products, you still likely wouldn’t feel a high as THC absorbed through the skin is not a sufficient means to allow it to be absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to the brain - sorry folks.

Where Do I Get a CBD Massage? In many states where medical marijuana is legal, therapists are already offering infused products; both THC and CBD.  Some advertise this fact some do not.  It is always a good idea to simply ask your therapist if he or she can and is able to work with these products.

What is a Cannabis Infused Massage - The Straight Dope

Marijuana and Massage, Wow.  - You may ask "Will I get high?  The answer is no.

With the ever changing laws and broader acceptance of Marijuana around the country, it is inevitable that more uses of this amazing plant are being explored, and how it relates to massage is actually quite interesting.

Cannabis has two essential components of interest, THC tetrahydrocannabinol & CBD cannabidiol.  THC is the psychoactive component of marijuana; it's the molecule that makes you feel "stoned."  CBD on the other hand is the one of interest to massage.  It has wonderful therapeutic properties, helps relieve pain, acts as an anti inflammatory, and when used as a topical massage cream, does not enter your blood stream. It will not get you high - but it may make you feel wonderful.

One description I have read states that cannabis infused topicals have a way of opening up the skin's sensory profile, like a more nuanced Icy Hot.

When combined with the hands of a skilled massage therapist these topicals become even more powerful tools against pain, and aids in reducing stress and promoting relaxation.   The massage has an elevated quality to it.

As I continue to explore this in areas like oncology massage and other pain relief I will update this post.


Massage itself is a really amazing way of helping people; the human body is fascinating, how it responds to quality touch, and how its all connected.  For some, adding cannabis to the massage just allows me to get in even further, and even deeper, and even better.

Whether you are interested in exploring the healing benefits of cannabis,  to be appreciated and enjoyed by all adult clients, or whether you have active pain management needs, consider a Cannabis-infused treatment.

Aloha
