CBD Massage Oil

What Is CBD?

CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is one of over 100 different substances known as cannabinoids that are found within the cannabis plant. Cannabidiol is usually extracted from the hemp variety of the plant, as the hemp plant contains little amounts of THC. This is beneficial as CBD products must contain less than 0.2% THC in order to remain legal. Such a small amount of THC is nowhere near enough for users to experience a high. Cannabidiol is most commonly added to oils which are consumed sublingually, which is known as CBD oil, but other methods of consumption have began to receive more popularity, non more so than CBD massage oils. Many people claim that CBD can provide pain relief thanks to its anti inflammatory properties, however we make no such claims about our products as research into cannabidiol is still in its early staged.

Why Use CBD Massage Oils?

CBD massage oils are an effective way of using CBD to treat a certain problem area. Massage oils allow the user to massage the CBD based lotion into the problem area to allow the benefits of CBD to be applied locally. The essential oils in the massage oils also provide a whole range of added benefits.

How Do CBD Massage Oils Work?

CBD massage oils work by applying CBD to a certain problem area and massaging it into your skin. The CBD is then absorbed through the pores in the skin before it then enters the bloodstream and takes effect.

How Do I Use CBD Massage Oil?

CBD massage oils aren’t typically absorbed into the bloodstream like other methods such as oils. They only work at the point of contact. Therefore if you are looking to use your oil effectively it’s important you apply them onto a clean dry area rubbing it in with a circular motion. You should notice the effect on the area very quickly, although if it is subtle you can repeat the process.

How Much CBD Massage Oil Should I Apply?

When using CBD massage oil you can use as little or as much as you need. Just apply it like you would with a normal massage oil by applying it onto the skin and massaging with your hands. If you are using CBD massage oil for the first time we would recommend applying a small amount to the skin first to test how your skin reacts.

How Long Will It Take To Feel The Effects?

How long it will take to feel the effects of CBD massage oil will differ depending on each individual. However, roughly you should begin to feel the effects within around half an hour. This is much quicker than other methods of CBD consumption such as using edibles where the CBD would have to first pass through the digestive system.

Can CBD Massage Oil Help With Arthritis?

CBD massage oils are not designed to treat, prevent or cure arthritis. However, one early study from the journal Pain found that CBD can prevent both osteoarthritis pain and joint neuropathy, as it decreased joint inflammation and served as a protectant to the nerves. The CBD Planet UK does not claim to treat, diagnose or cure any existing medical conditions and we recommend you always speak with your GP or a healthcare professional before taking CBD.

Can CBD Massage Oil Help With Muscle Pain?

CBD massage oils are not designed to help prevent, treat or cure muscle pain and inflammation, or any injury or condition causing sore muscles. Should you be experiencing muscle pain we would suggest speaking with a doctor, rather than using CBD.

Will I Get High From Using CBD Massage Oil?

No, you will not get high from using CBD massage oils as they contain less than 0.2% THC. THC is the psychoactive substance in cannabis which causes users to experience a high. With such a small amount of THC, it is nowhere near enough to cause a high. You can therefore consume CBD safely without worrying about getting high. Some of our products even contain third party lab reports to give you peace of mind about what’s in the products you are using.

Are CBD Massage Oils Safe?

Yes, all of the CBD massage oils we sell are completely safe. We do however recommend you check the ingredients of our CBD massage oils before application to ensure you aren’t allergic to anything they contain. You may also wish to do a tester where you apply a very small amount first to see how your skin reacts. Always check the products direction for use before application and start with a small amount before applying more liberally. Like with all CBD products, we would recommend consulting a doctor before you begin using CBD massage oils, just to ensure the product is right for you.

Are CBD Massage Oils Legal In The UK?

Yes, CBD massage oil products are legal in the UK so long as they contain less than 0.2% THC. All of our massage oils meet this criteria and are therefore 100% legal. Many of our products contain a third party lab report to certify the level of THC within them.

Is Topical CBD Application Better Than CBD Oil?

Whether topical CBD products are better than CBD oil is completely down to personal preference and the reason for taking CBD. If you wish to receive the benefits of CBD to a certain area then there is no better product than topicals. However, if you don’t have a specific problem area then CBD oil is likely going to be more effective in order to fulfill your needs.

With topical CBD the bioavailability is much lower than with CBD oil, meaning less CBD is absorbed into the system. It is therefore not as cost effective as using CBD oil.

Do All Products Contain Third Party Lab Reports?

Many of our products contain third party lab reports which will certify the level of CBD, THC and other cannabinoids within the product. The information will be displayed clearly on the product page.

What Is The Difference Between Broad Spectrum & Full Spectrum CBD Massage Oil?

The difference between broad and full spectrum CBD massage oils are the cannabinoids which each type of product contains. Full spectrum CBD products contain the full spectrum of cannabinoids, meaning they contain up to 0.2% THC. On the other hand, broad spectrum CBD products only contain a broad spectrum of cannabinoids, meaning they have the THC completely removed during the extraction process.

Broad spectrum CBD massage oils are therefore favoured by people who wish to avoid any THC entering their system. Full spectrum CBD massage oils on the other hand are favoured by those who believe in the entourage effect. This is the belief that the CBD and THC work together to provide greater effects than the CBD would have on its own.
