CBD BATHING PRODUCTS FOR RELAXATION

Since the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, cannabidiol (CBD) has experienced a renaissance in the wellness and beauty industries. Available everywhere from mall kiosks to online retailers, the variety of products containing CBD seems to grow each day. 

Infused bath bombs and similar products are one of the hottest new trends and are popping up on bathroom shelves across the country. But how do they work?

Iconic Remedies wants to help you answer this question and any others you may have. Read on to learn more about CBD bath bombs and Epsom salt. 

HOW CBD BATH PRODUCTS WORK

All cannabinoids, including CBD, work by interacting with the endocannabinoid (EC) system. This system contains a network of receptors and proteins that receive signals from cannabinoids that occur naturally in the body. These are known as endocannabinoids, the term endo meaning within.

The cannabinoids found in cannabis plants are called phytocannabinoids, phyto meaning plant. Although they come from an external source, these compounds are nearly identical to the ones that come from within. This similarity allows them to interact with the EC system to produce their effects.

TRANSDERMAL ABSORPTION

Before phytocannabinoids can start interacting with the EC system, they need to get there first. When you ingest food or drinks infused with CBD, it travels to your intestine and is absorbed there before being metabolized by the liver. Sublingual absorption skips the digestive system and instead uses the high concentration of blood vessels under the tongue for rapid results.

Bath products work a bit differently. Instead of traveling from one part of your body to the EC system, the CBD in bath bombs and Epsom salt needs to go from your bath water into your body. This process is known as transdermal absorption, trans meaning through, and derma meaning skin.

Your skin acts as a barrier to keep most things out of your body, but some molecules are small enough to seep through. Cannabinoids can easily penetrate the skin thanks to their small size, and combining them with warm water increases their ability to do so. This method of absorption delivers CBD to the EC system quickly and efficiently.

TOPICALS VS BATH PRODUCTS

Although topicals also use transdermal absorption, there is a significant difference between these products and those made for use in the bath. Topicals are an excellent choice for targeting specific areas of the body, while CBD bath bombs and Epsom salt work best as a full-body treatment.

BENEFITS OF CBD BATH PRODUCTS

Iconic Remedies infused Epsom salt, and bath bombs, have the same marvelous health benefits as their other CBD products! Once absorbed through the skin and into your EC system, cannabidiol can start improving a multitude of health concerns.

CBD delivered via transdermal absorption is especially adept at improving mental state, reducing pain caused by inflammation, and treating problematic skin.

PROMOTES RELAXATION

Did you know taking a warm bath is scientifically proven to leave you feeling refreshed? This is partially because being immersed in water improves your circulation. Adding a CBD bath bomb or Epsom salt to the mix makes for a luxuriously soothing experience. Thanks to the way cannabidiol acts in the brain, bathing with infused products helps you to relax and feel at ease.

The majority of mental illnesses, like depression and anxiety, are caused by a lack of positive neurotransmitters. These compounds, including serotonin and dopamine, are tiny chemicals that control how you feel. Not having enough of these chemicals can cause persistent feelings of sadness, anger, and other negative emotions.

Certain sleep disorders, like insomnia, are also caused by a lack of neurotransmitters. CBD is helpful in the treatment of these conditions because it increases the levels of positive neurotransmitters in the brain. Relaxing in a warm bath while CBD works its magic is just the icing on the anti-stress cake.

REDUCES INFLAMMATION

Tossing an Iconic Remedies bath bomb or Epsom salt into the tub can help melt away pain and discomfort caused by inflammation. When tissue is damaged or becomes infected, your body reacts by breaking down the injured cells through oxidation. This process releases compounds that cause inflammation, like histamines, and that inflammation causes pain.

CBD contains antioxidants that, as the name suggests, stop oxidation. Halting this process eliminates the chemicals that cause inflammation to relieve pain. Common medications, like naproxen (Aleve), work in the same way to reduce swelling and discomfort.

It is worth noting that CBD does not have any of the severe side effects associated with other anti-inflammatory drugs. Taking medications like naproxen for extended periods can lead to liver and kidney failure, anemia, and stomach ulcers. If you regularly have pain caused by swelling, using a CBD bath bomb or Epsom salt instead of pills is much better for your long-term health.

IMPROVES SKIN HEALTH

The unique advantage of putting CBD into bath bombs and Epsom salt is that it works wonders on your skin! Cannabidiol is antimicrobial and antibacterial, so your skin is gently disinfected during bath time without being damaged. This cleansing can prevent infections caused by dirt and bacteria that builds up on the surface of the skin throughout the day.

CBD also regulates the production of sebum, the oily substance that protects your skin. Too much sebum leads to clogged pores, causing acne and blackheads. Too little sebum makes skin dry and flaky.

By controlling sebocytes, the cells that produce this oil, cannabidiol can treat acne-prone skin. It is also useful in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis, reduces signs of aging, soothes itchy and dry skin, and protects sensitive skin.

Iconic Remedies bath products also contain essential oils that leave skin smooth, glowing, and healthy. Read on for more information about these essential oils and their unique health benefits.

CBD EPSOM SALT

People have been using Epsom salt for hundred of years, ever since their discovery in the early 17th century. They are known for drawing toxins from the body, reducing swelling, and relaxing muscles.

Although they look a lot like salt and have the word in their name, Epsom salt is not salt. They are a mineral that goes by the name magnesium sulfate.

Iconic Remedies adds dead sea salt to their blend of Epsom salt, which can boost circulation and improve the appearance of skin. Fractionated coconut oil and other essential oils are also added to leave your skin soft and supple.

LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL

Lavender essential oil is a popular tool in aromatherapy. The smell of this fragrant herb can help improve insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Lavender also contains powerful antiseptic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties that can help prevent infections and relieve pain.

FRANKINCENSE ESSENTIAL OIL

Frankincense is made using the resin of the Boswellia tree. This essential oil pampers skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and age spots. Like CBD and lavender, frankincense reduces stress and relieves discomfort. It is also a powerful astringent, making it useful in the treatment of acne.

MARJORAM ESSENTIAL OIL

Marjoram is an herb that is closely related to oregano and commonly used in cooking. It contains an astounding amount of beneficial properties; it is an analgesic and aphrodisiac. Plus, it contains antispasmodic, antiseptic, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. To top it all off this herb also promotes relaxation, making it the perfect companion for CBD!

CBD BATH BOMBS

Everyone loves a fun, fizzy bath bomb! They smell great, they leave your skin feeling silky soft, and they are perfect for relaxing after a long day. CBD bath bombs are all these things and so much more. 

In addition to high-quality hemp extra, Iconic Remedies bath bombs contain sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt), and citric acid. These ingredients react with each other when they are exposed to water, causing the fizz associated with bath bombs.

Each type of bath bomb contains unique ingredients that can improve health. Read on to learn more about the individual benefits. 

LAVENDER BATH BOMB

Lavender is an aromatic herb that has many uses, as previously mentioned. The soothing scent helps you relax and improves sleep while working with CBD to reduce pain and inflammation. These bath bombs are ideal for nighttime use or when you need to relax and unwind.

MANGO-STRAWBERRY BATH BOMB

Not only do strawberry and mango smell delicious, but their oils also contain lots of fatty acids and antioxidants that leave skin glowing and radiant. Pink Himalayan salt, which contains minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium, rounds out these bath bombs. The perfect choice for reducing muscle cramps, increasing mineral intake and balancing blood sugar.

ROSE GARDEN BATH BOMB

Topped with rose petals to pamper your skin and improve your mood, rose garden bath bombs contain a trifecta of valuable essential oils. Jasmine, rosemary, and rose garden come together to boost your immune system, reduce inflammation, relieve anxiety, stress, and depression, and improve circulation. These bath bombs are better than a day at the spa!

VANILLA BATH BOMBS

The warm scent of vanilla is not only comforting, but it is also a powerful aphrodisiac. The vanillin in these bath bombs helps to boost immune system function, improve skin and hair health, and promote restful sleep. These are a fabulous choice for some relaxing me-time.

LIVE AN ICONIC LIFE

Iconic Remedies prides themselves on educating consumers so they can make informed decisions when buying CBD products. 

Remember these three critical questions to ensure you are buying high-quality CBD products: where is the hemp grown, what are the ingredients, and has the purity been verified? Any company that refuses to provide this information is not a company that you should trust.

COLORADO GROWN HEMP

A company might refuse to tell you where their cannabis comes from if they are sourcing it from overseas. These plants can contain harmful pesticides that are illegal to use in the United States, and extracts made from these plants may harbor dangerous chemicals.

Iconic Remedies uses hemp that is organically grown in Colorado to make the extracts for their products. The plants go through a process called cold ethanol extraction, resulting in solvent-free concentrates. This is the same method used to make common food products like lemon extract. 

3RD PARTY LAB TESTED

Anyone can make claims about the purity of their products, but if the manufacturer refuses to provide proof of those claims, it should raise a red flag immediately. Iconic Remedies bath products are tested by an independent lab to ensure everything is as advertised. If you would like a copy of these results, please email iconicremediescs@gmail.com.  

HANDMADE IN THE USA

All Iconic Remedies CBD bath products are handmade in the state of Colorado using carefully selected ingredients. Remember that because no artificial ingredients are used the color of bath bombs and Epsom salt can vary from one batch to another, but the quality never will.

ORDER TODAY & RELAX WITH CBD

Iconic Remedies’ bath products are the perfect way to give yourself a rejuvenating spa treatment in the comfort of your own home. To use, drop a single bath bomb or 1-2 cups of Epsom salt into a tub of hot water and soak for at least fifteen minutes.

For an aromatic and therapeutic experience, order CBD Epsom salt that leaves you and your skin feeling refreshed. You can try each divine fragrance and save when you order a four-pack of bath bombs. After you try them all, stock up on your favorite one for a go-to way to unwind. 

Forget about rubber duckies, CBD is what makes bath time lots of fun!
