When people think wellness, they don’t often think of a spa. Spas focus on health and wellness through exercise and treatment, not entertainment.
They offer classes on Pilates, yoga, prenatal yoga and more. They use functional fitness equipment and have Planned Pause sessions where you just chill out for a short time during your session.
Yoga is a highly versatile sport that can be incorporated into both exercise and relaxation. Plus, it is one of the oldest health practices known to man.
Many find it helpful when doing yoga or practicing yoga is like going through a tunnel of consciousness and then you come back out with what you just felt when doing what you were trying to do.
At an early stage in your wellness journey, there is always room for improvement.
The history of cannabis
As early as the Greco-Roman world, cannabis was seen as a powerful drug. Throughout history, cannabis was both used and abused, sometimes recreationally, sometimes as a financial motivation.
During the Middle Ages, pot was widely used for spiritual and physical healing. Cannabis was also highly prized as a money-spending tool. For example, you could buy marijuana as a crop or sell confiscated marijuana to raise money for your cause!
As modern times came about, cannabis became an illegal drug. However, because of its therapeutic properties, people continued to seek out ways to relax and escape from the stresses of life.
Benefits of cannabis for skin care
Cannabis has several benefits for your skin. One of the most common is for it to soften your skin as it protects against sun damage and helps rejuvenate the skin around your eyes, face, and body.
Because cannabis comes from plants, you can use it either fresh or dried. When used fresh, it must be kept in warm weather as it can break down if cool air passes through it.
Dry cannabis preparations such as sunthes or balms can be used on any area of the body. The moistened area must be gently massaged in order for the cannabis to take effect.
These products are great to use before a sports event or event because you will want to stay dry until then! Cannabis sprays are very popular today.
Benefits of cannabis for relaxation
There are several ways to increase your relaxation levels. You can visit a wellness retreat, where you spend a week or two at a facility that offers various relaxation therapies. Or you can find one of the many cannabis spas, where you can relax your body and mind.
At a cannabis spa, you can get a variety of treatments, from an invigorating shower to a relaxing day nap. A cannabis bath is also possible, as well as hypnosis or meditation sessions to reduce stress.
Some therapists even combine medical marijuana with other treatments like yoga or swimming. The results are incredible!
As the founder of Relaxation Spa Massage & Day Spa in Burlingame, I have been offering these therapeutic treatments for years. They have become more popular now, however.
Finding the right spa treatment
When searching for a spa treatment, there are several important questions to ask.
What type of cannabinoid oil are they using?
CBD is one of the two main types of cannabinoid compounds in plants, the other being psychoactive THC.
Until recently, only hemp had this property as a material, which is why most CBD oil is now labeled as such. However, recent developments in technology have made it possible to obtain pure CBD in many forms and concentrations.
Most commonly found in the form of an oil, a cream, or a line gel, there are many ways to apply it. From a health perspective, performance-wise there are major benefits to using it.
As an athlete or person who wants therapeutic benefits from CBD, you have many options for getting your oil.
Does the spa offer different strains of cannabis?
Some spas offer hybrid strains of marijuana, usually for people who are looking for a different experience. Hybrid strains are half regular marijuana and half another plant.
Hybrid strains can sometimes have more effects than one would normally expect. For instance, one may feel heavy and sleepy, or have a higher level of intensity in terms of the cannabinoid content.
These unexpected attributes make looking up what flavor cannabis you want to get served at your party a fun process. However, since there is more chance for error with hybrid strains, most modern spas cut down on the amount of THC and CBD that are in your flower so as not to create an excessive effect.
What type of effects do the strains have?
When it comes to the effects of cannabis on the body, there are two types of answers. There are for-the-body effects and for-the-mind effects. For the former, the amount is irrelevant, as everything that happens to the body is subconscious. For the latter, where information is relevant, there are numerous ways of achieving the right mindset for your spa treatment.
For example, one way to achieve a feeling of focus and energy is with a CBD spritz.
Which types of massage are offered?
Spas are becoming more and more popular as people seek out wellness therapies. There are now spas all over, offering everything from body treatments to relaxing therapy.
Some offer unique set up systems to create a customized experience, while others just offer the same massage types that you would get at a hotel or hotel spa. Either way, it is still very therapeutic.
There are some very in depth massages that can only be offered by qualified professionals.
