AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT OUR HOLIDAY ADD-ONS: CBD CREAM TREATMENT

Our Holiday Packages give you exclusive access to fun and beneficial add-ons! Each one is designed to provide you with an invigorating experience that benefits your body in different ways. Let's take a look at what we're offering this year:

CBD Cream Treatment

CBD Oil has become a real hot button issue, spurring debates and controversy regarding its effectiveness and legality. While CBD Oil is not FDA approved, there are certain CBD medications that have been approved to treat specific diseases, whose common symptom is frequent seizures. However, many studies have been done that show just how effective CBD can be, whether it's in pill, oil, or a cream form. 

CBD can be taken internally or used externally. An internal usage of CBD would be most effective for things related to your mental health, while an external usage is best for pain, inflammation and soreness. Most CBD creams contain menthol and camphor in order to help the CBD penetrate more deeply, allowing for a stronger effect. 

The CBD cream we use comes from the same company we use to purchase our massage cream, where quality is of the utmost importance, so there should be no concern regarding the quality of the product we are using for your treatment. 

Noteworthy!!

CBD Oil does NOT contain THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient of the genetically altered "marijuana" plant. CBD is typically harvested from the most pure, genetically unaltered form of the plant, the hemp plant, which contains low traces of THC to begin with. Choosing the CBD Cream Treatment as your add-on will not result in any psychoactive effects, meaning you won't feel "high" after your session. If you do feel light-headed or woozy, this is most likely due to the change in your blood pressure from getting off the table and moving around too fast. 

CBD also does not show up on most drug tests since they are typically designed to detect THC. If you have more questions or concerns, here's a great article concerning CBD and drug testing.  

How is it used in session?

Before your massage, your therapist will most likely ask if you've been experiencing any pain or discomfort, ask about location, and if there's any spots to avoid during your session. Typically, the CBD will be applied where you request it or where you and your therapist agree needs the most attention. Since the CBD cream we use also contains menthol and camphor, application may feel cool and "tingly" then slowly warm as it penetrates the skin to have a greater effect on your body. The effects can last for a few hours or longer, depending on the area and how your body reacts to the cream. For example, when I was experiencing jaw pain and swelling I applied a pea-sized drop to the entire area and the effects lasted for about 5 hours before I started to feel pain again. 

What if I don't want this add-on?

That's okay! We have two other great add-ons that are available with our Holiday Packages. Please read our blog posts to get an in-depth look at each one!
