Massages improve the flow of blood and lymph to reduce muscular tension, to impact the nervous system through stimulation and/or relaxation/sedation, and to heal tissue. CBD helps with relaxation, chronic pain, inflammation, migraines, and more. A combination could increase the enjoyment and benefits.

CBD massages are popular and are becoming more common. Generally, spas use hemp-CBD massage oil since CBD cannabis is still not fully legal.While there needs more research to understand better the medicinal benefits, studies conducted found stress relief, anxiety relief, and overall mood enhancement. CBD with hemp contains 0.3% or less THC. Hemp CBD oil doesn’t offer a psychoactive high, though important to note, cannabis topicals do not offer a mental high, even if THC-based.

Some studies have suggested CBD has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, but these effects need to be validated in larger, quality studies. Many people with arthritis have tried CBD, but the anecdotal evidence they report is mixed. Some people report noticeable pain relief, sleep improvement and/or anxiety reduction, while others do not. As with any medication for arthritis, some people do not report any symptom improvements when taking CBD.

CBD might relax you, but doesn’t make you high, it disconnects you somewhat from stressors and emotions, much like a pharmaceutical. You avoid the adverse reactions being stoned. So you can drive after the massage.
