CBD Bath Bomb Benefits
Using it is a great way to use CBD because it’s lovely and calming. It can also be a particularly good way to use it because the other elements of the bath bomb experience have benefits of their own. Which can synergistically enhance the benefits you get from your CBD. There are other beneficial ingredients within a bath bomb, and taking a bath can provide health benefits in and of itself. The CBD in a CBD bath bomb maybe the heavy lifter in terms of benefits. But all three elements of using a CBD bath bomb work together to make using it sublimely relieving, relaxing, stress-reducing, and restorative.
Benefits of CBD in a Bath Bomb
When you use a CBD bath bomb, your body absorbs CBD in a unique way, which can provide unique benefits. Studies show that all types of cannabidiol (CBD) may reduce anxiety and depression, relieve chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healthier sleep. But using it, specifically, may help CBD users get the benefits of CBD more quickly and in a more targeted way.
Your body takes in the CBD in a bath bomb topically, absorbing it through your skin. This allows the endocannabinoid system receptors in your skin to use the CBD more quickly, giving faster relief from things like pain and anxiety. Topical application may also create a more localized effect. It allows you to spot treat certain areas, like your sore muscles, aching joints, or tender skin.
Curious about how people typically use it? People often use them to relieve pain, ease tension, or to melt away the stress of a long day. Some people also use it for sleep. As they can be so relaxing, or as a recovery treatment since CBD is thought to help reduce inflammation.
Other Beneficial Ingredients in Bath Bombs
The other ingredients in your CBD bath bomb can also provide benefits. Bath bombs can cleanse, repair, and deeply hydrate the skin, while also providing aromatherapy benefits and a terpene boost.
Two base ingredients that are in pretty much all bath bombs are sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and citric acid. These two ingredients combine to create your bath bomb’s fun fizzing effect. Then, together, they also help to cleanse and repair the skin. Additionally, citric acid provides a very gentle exfoliating effect, which is why you’ll find it in many skincare products. Citric acid can gently loosen up damaged skin, allowing younger skin to replace it and making your skin feel and look a bit fresher.
On top of those base ingredients, bath bombs often contain some kind of moisturizing ingredient. Many bath bombs contain things like coconut oil, hemp oil, shea butter, or avocado oil. When you’re soaking in a warm tub, your pores open up, allowing these moisturizing agents to deeply hydrate your skin.
Bath bombs also typically have essential oils or other fragrant ingredients, which can provide aromatherapy benefits. For example, peppermint oil can help you feel energized. While calming scents such as lavender can help you feel relaxed or sleepy. In addition to having aromatherapeutic effects, fragrant ingredients that contain terpenes may also facilitate the entourage effect in a CBD bath bomb. Terpenes are thought to work synergistically with cannabinoids like CBD, enhancing their benefits.
Health Benefits of Baths
Taking a bath in warm or hot water has numerous scientifically proven health benefits. Studies show that bathing in warm water can help improve sleep health, improve circulation, and reduce pain, and it may even provide a serotonin boost. Taking a warm bath can also calm the nervous system, which eases stress and anxiety.
How Do You Use a CBD Bath Bomb?
Using it is simple: just start drawing your bath, drop your bath bomb under the running water, let it dissolve, and then enjoy your CBD-infused bath. For the best results, soak in your bath for at least 30 minutes.
Marijuana Bath Bombs vs. CBD Bath Bombs
A frequently asked question about it is “do CBD bath bombs contain marijuana?” The answer to this question is that it depends. CBD is present in all cannabis plants, including both hemp plants and marijuana plants. So, some of them could contain CBD from hemp plants. While others could contain CBD from marijuana plants. Whether or not a specific CBD product (such as a bath bomb, a CBD oil, a CBD tincture, or a CBD edible) contains marijuana depends on the source of its CBD.
When people ask whether or not there’s marijuana in it. They’re usually also wondering whether or not there’s any THC. Hemp-derived CBD bath bombs will contain little to no THC. Hemp plants contain a maximum THC percentage of 0.3%, which is a tiny, trace amount that won’t cause any psychoactive effects. Marijuana-derived CBD bath bombs, on the other hand, could potentially contain quite a bit of THC. Depending on the blend within a specific marijuana bath bomb, it could contain absolutely no THC or it could contain a substantial amount.
It’s important to note that while a marijuana-derived CBD bath bomb could contain THC, that THC is unlikely to cause psychoactive effects. It’s more likely to just provide other benefits, like pain relief. That’s because when you use topical cannabis products, like cannabis bath bombs, your body absorbs the cannabinoids in that product into your skin, where they work locally. In general, the cannabinoid THC can’t breach the bloodstream when applied topically. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as transdermal patches, which are designed to get into your bloodstream. Additionally, some THC bath bombs may come with warnings saying that they could possibly cause mild psychoactive effects in women. But, typically, topical cannabis products that contain THC won’t cause psychoactive effects in the same way other cannabis products that contain THC would.
