CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical naturally present in cannabis plants. In certain forms, like oils or edibles, a number of benefits have been found to using CBD, such as improving sleep quality and relieving pain, among others. It can even help you lose weight and aid in treating panic disorders.
If you’re afraid to ingest it for whatever reason, using CBD in the form of an oil and adding it to your bath can be a safe way for you to try it. According to Cindy Capobianco, co-founder and chief brand officer of the CBD brand Lord Jones, “Anyone can benefit from a CBD bath. If you’ve had a long day, an intense workout, or strenuous travel, it can provide the ultimate restorative reset and promote a calm sense of well-being,” she explained to Real Simple.
When choosing the right CBD oil for you, make sure you’re getting a high-quality product. “Since CBD is not regulated by the FDA, make sure you get any CBD products from a reputable company that follows good standard growing procedures and whose products are verified by a third-party independent lab,” Matthew Mintz, MD, FACP, told the outlet.
