What the heck is CBD and why put it on your body anyway?

There seems to be a lot of confusion around CBD and exactly what it is… CBD (cannabidiol) is one of many compounds in the cannabis plant. And no, it does not get you high like other compounds found in the cannabis plant such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive and does not create a mind-altering “high”. In fact, research has shown that it has medical benefits such as natural pain relief, anti-inflammatory properties, and has even been proven to reduce anxiety, insomnia and epilepsy symptoms. You can read more on this HERE.

Now that we’ve given you a brief history on CBD and explained how it’s actually totally safe, let’s talk about our latest pedicure… We’re excited to introduce our limited time CBD pedicure for the month of September. You heard it here first! How much more relaxing can a pedicure get? Are your feet sore from standing at work all day? Get yourself a CBD pedicure at SOAK! Experiencing unwanted swelling in your feet?

With all this talk you’d think CBD is the cure-all, end-all… And while it might sounds like it and a lot of scientific studies have shown it has a positive benefit to many things, we’ve come to the conclusion that it definitely adds a little something extra to an otherwise basic pedicure. For example, CBD oil has proven to be extra nourising for skin (a bonus considerin we’re heading into the dry season of fall and winter), pain relief for those ladies and gents who are on their feet a lot, and we’ve also received feedback that it’s been more relaxing in addition to boosting a person’s mood afterwards… aka less road rage when you head back home or to work ;)
