CBD, or cannabidiol, oil is used by people across America in their massage services and skin care. Because it is derived from cannabis, there is a lot of confusion surrounding what CBD is and the benefits it can provide for those who use it. Here is a brief guide to this oil to separate fact from myth. 

An Introduction to CBD Oil in Massage

What It Is

CBD is a cannabinoid, which means it’s a chemical found naturally in cannabis. Contrary to common misconception, there is no THC in the oil, so it does not cause any sort of “high” for those who use it. THC is an entirely separate cannabinoid, as there are more than 80 active chemicals found in the marijuana plant.

CBD is legal in all 50 states and is not addictive. It can be used in services such as a massage or a facial, as application through the skin allows you to enjoy the benefits of this natural chemical. In fact, it is commonly used in oncology spa services since the it can help those undergoing cancer treatment.

How It’s Beneficial

Studies have proven CBD to reduce anxiety, in both the behavioral and physiological measures of stress. For example, a dose of the oil can help someone with social anxiety with a public speaking engagement. It’s been found to assist with cancer treatment by reducing pain and nausea while boosting patients’ appetites. CBD has anti-tumor capabilities by decreasing tumor growth, inhibiting metastasis, and increasing cancer cell death. It also has anti-inflammatory and anti-seizure effects.
