Celebrate Personal Wellness with Cannabis Bath Bombs

[dropcap class=”kp-dropcap”]I[/dropcap]t’s summer and it’s hot outside, but even the chill of a constantly running air conditioner indoors can tempt you to go outside to thaw out. But have you considered a happy medium with a warm bath? Celebrate the mid-week grind with a relaxing bath that will not only warm you up (without dehydrating you) but also provide you with some of the natural benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocanninol (THC). Warm water itself won’t do the trick, but add one of these cannabis-infused bath bombs into the mix and you’ve got an entirely different reason to live in the tub. Using a cannabis bath bomb can help alleviate skin issues, inflammation and can relax tension or anxiety. The oils in the bath bombs moisturize and the festive fizzing is, well, fun.

Many companies are infusing bath bombs with hemp-derived CBD oil, and in states where cannabis is legal, small businesses are picking up on the wellness and self-care trend. Here’s a few companies that are making some indulgent cannabis bath bombs perfect for your next retreat into the bathtub:

Gypsy Magic bath bombs contain 40mg of CBD and are mixes with dried florals and fragrant essential oils.

Kush Queen carries a variety of bath bombs, but if you can’t decide, get the sampler set with 10 mg of CBD in each bomb.

Life Flower bath bombs are all embedded with dried florals for a special relaxing bath, made with 50mg of hemp-derived CBD oil or organic hemp oil.

Colorado’s Coda Signature is known more for infused chocolates, but the three-piece bath bob set infused with CBD and THC makes for a relaxing bath.

Miria Clinical offers a wide variety of skin care and wellness products, and their bath bombs with 35mg of CBD are a perfect compliment to any home spa ritual.

Although it’s nice to just pick up a premade bath bomb on dispensary shelves, these types of spa treatments are actually pretty easy to craft at home. If you prefer to DIY for your own wellness needs, check out this recipe for some quick and easy bath bombs that are easily customizable.
