I recently discovered bath bombs at the local cannabis dispensary.
- They are amazing.
I have never been a fan of putting oils or scents into the tub. I never used to make time to soak in the bathtub. I was actually at the dispensary shopping for topicals. I had stepped into a pothole while on a run and rolled my ankle. The fall also bruised my knees and my right hand and caused some pain in my shoulders and back. I had already used cannabis-infused topicals to treat various injuries, sunburn, bee stings and issues with psoriasis and had good luck with them. The budtender recommended the bath bomb. The one I chose was infused with epsom salts and lavender along with CBD and CBN. It smelled lovely and created an invigorating fizz. It was such a pleasure soaking in the scented water. Because the hot water opens up the pores, the cannabinoids are able to more quickly and effectively penetrate the receptors in the skin. Because the cannabinoids never enter the bloodstream, there is no risk of a high sensation. When I dried off after the bath, I immediately noticed an improvement. The soreness in my neck, shoulders and back was gone. My ankle wasn’t quite as painful. I was also impressed with how silky soft my skin felt. My next trip to the dispensary, I loaded up on bath bombs. They are offered in a range of options featuring different essential oils and cannabinoids. I partner them with cannabis-infused ointments, lotions, balms and roll-ons for full body treatments.
