CBD Oil: Anti-Inflammatory & Pain Relief
Concentrated cannabidiol (CBD) applied transdermally. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) by inhibiting the breakdown of anandamide, the body's natural "bliss molecule," while down-regulating inflammatory cytokines via PPAR-γ activation.
Benefits
- Direct inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6)
- Modulates pain signaling without psychoactive effects
- Supports recovery from musculoskeletal inflammation and joint pain
- Reduces localized skin sensitivity and oxidative stress
- Potentiates the mechanical benefits of deep tissue work
Ideal For
Clients with arthritis, chronic musculoskeletal pain, or post-operative inflammation

- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Known hemp or cannabis-sativa allergies
- Use of prescription blood thinners

Frequently Asked Questions
Will CBD oil make me feel high?
No. The CBD we use is a topical isolate or broad-spectrum oil with no psychoactive properties. It works on your muscle and nerve receptors, not your brain.
Can I use CBD if I have a drug test coming up?
We use high-quality CBD that contains 0.0% THC. However, if you are concerned about strict workplace testing, you may choose to opt for a different enhancement.
How does CBD help with my arthritis pain?
CBD is a potent anti-inflammatory. When applied during a massage, it helps reduce the swelling and 'heat' in joints, allowing for better movement and less pain.
Is this better than regular massage oil for chronic pain?
For chronic inflammation, yes. While the massage provides the mechanical relief, the CBD provides a biochemical layer of pain modulation that lasts longer.
Why can't I use CBD if I'm on blood thinners?
CBD can occasionally interfere with how the liver processes certain medications, including blood thinners. It's best to consult your doctor or choose a different tool.
