In recent years, cannabis has emerged as a prominent player in the world of holistic health. From stress relief to pain management, more people are recognizing the potential of cannabis to enhance well-being.
The powerful effects of cannabis products can make them a compelling addition to your self-care routine. Whether you want to improve your sleep or simply unwind at the end of a long day, there are many ways to harness the benefits of cannabis and self-care.
Here are six ways to combine cannabis and self-care in your daily routine.
1. Meditate While High
The calming and relaxing effects of cannabis can make it easier to clear your mind for a meditation session. Being high can be a reflective experience, quieting the mind and helping you get in touch with your inner thoughts and feelings.
If you struggle with traditional sitting meditation, cannabis can also be incorporated into moving meditation practices like yoga and tai chi. Beyond meditation, the effects of cannabis can also encourage daily mindfulness.
2. Soothe Sore Muscles
A cannabis-infused massage oil or other topical can help soothe sore muscles at the end of a long day. When used topically, THC or CBD products won’t get you high, but the benefits can penetrate the skin for localized relief. Apply it to problem areas or use a full-body cannabis lotion for soothing effects from head to toe.
3. Get a Good Night’s Sleep
When cannabinoids bind to receptors in the brain, they send messages to suppress arousal in the brain and increase levels of sleep-promoting adenosine. Ending the day with a THC, CBD, or CBN product, can help you fall asleep faster and feel more refreshed in the morning.Â
4. Incorporate Cannabis Into Skincare
Cannabis topicals — especially those heavy in CBD — can make a powerful addition to your skincare lineup. From face masks to night creams, CBD products can hydrate the skin and even improve skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
5. Soak in a CBD Bath
The anti-inflammatory benefits of CBD can also be delivered through a bath bomb or other bath products. So why not make a night of it with a soothing bath, candles, essential oils, and your favorite CBD-infused bath products?
The right products can take an already relaxing bath to the next level, soaking your entire body in relaxing, pain-relieving, and skin-nourishing benefits.
6. Connect With Nature
With the help of cannabis, take self-care out of the bedroom and into the natural world. An energizing sativa strain can be paired with all kinds of outdoor activities, including:
- Walks or hikes in the woods
- Outdoor meditation and yoga
- Stargazing sessionsÂ
- SunbathingÂ
- Watching the sunsetÂ
Adding Cannabis to Your Daily Self-Care Rituals
As mainstream awareness of the importance of self-care continues to grow, so does our understanding of how cannabis can play a role. The relaxing, pain-relieving, and mind-altering effects of cannabis can be used to enhance many of your self-care rituals.
With careful dosing consideration and some experimentation, cannabis can become a powerful tool in your self-care arsenal. The right products can even help you achieve a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
