How hemp oil can drastically improve your massage experience
Massages are great on their own, but imagine introducing a natural herbal remedy and topical balm into the session! Hemp oil not only infuses nutrients into your skin, but also enhances the therapeutic aspects of your session.
How can one use hemp oil for massages?
The hemp plant is composed of a number a full spectrum of cannabinoids that act in support of the endocannabinoid system. In order to experience a synergetic effect with your body, it’s best to use a medium that delivers all these essential cannabinoids and not just the most popular - CBD. The endocannabinoid system helps regulate the endocrine system that is responsible for sleep, mood, pain management & even immune functions. What’s even more interesting is that there are endocannabinoid receptors on your skin too so applying hemp oil on your skin is no less than feeding the largest organ on your body some much needed nutrition.
Out of all the delivery methods for hemp oil, we suggest the balm. Whether it is for sports purposes or relaxation, the balm is certainly your best option. It is an ideal enhancement for massage or muscle relaxation/injury. Additionally, when you apply these balms on your skin, it is not absorbed into the blood stream! Many studies have shown that applying either the balm or the oil topically has a plethora of advantages and are perfect for those who are looking for natural alternatives to pain relief, inflammation and swelling. It’s got highly beneficial soothing properties and even immunity support that assist someone who is struggling with skin rashes, muscle discomfort, pain burns and more. How much you apply is up to you; try it out a couple of times and continue applying based on your personal results.
Hemp oil is also an amazing choice for massage therapy. It is known to be replete with antioxidants and healthy fatty acids that work together to keep the skin smooth and supple. It has a very high absorption rate as well, making it a favourite for massage therapists. It’s light and spreads evenly without the excess oiliness you may have faced during a massage. Hemp oil is also rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 which work on decreasing inflammation and increasing moisture retention respectively. The Linoleic Acid or Omerga 6 in hemp oil also has potent anti-aging properties!
While there are a number of choices for massage and massage therapy, hemp oils and balms are just holistic and natural choices that one can try to see if it aligns with your needs. It goes a long way to try it out, especially if there have been so many excellent reviews about using hemp oil!
