How To Make Bath Bombs Enriched With CBD

You may be more familiar with taking CBD orally. However, with the popularity of CBD products, there is a wide variety of products including lotions and balms. If you’re looking for joint and muscle pain relief and enjoy taking a nice hot bath, then these homemade CBD bath bombs might just be the solution for a chilly fall day. Read on to learn how to make your own CBD infused bath bombs!

Topical application of CBD has stronger effects because the cannabinoid compounds are absorbed directly into the bloodstream rather than being thinly distributed throughout the body. CBD topicals are a great way to treat minor or local ailments in your muscles or joints, and even relieve skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Why You Should Consider Using CBD Bath Bombs

Before making your bath bombs, it is helpful to understand the benefits that you can get from a bath bomb. Here is a list of some of the benefits you can get from using CBD bath bombs:

• Hot baths improve the anti-inflammatory effects of CBD
  Soaking in a hot water bath with a bath bomb will speed up the absorption of CBD into your bloodstream and skin through your pores.
• CBD can make baths more relaxing than they already are

When you take a bath, it provides many minerals that are great for sore muscles. A CBD bath can relax, decompress, and relieve musculoskeletal pain and inflammation. The CBD in your bathroom can also help relieve skin conditions. The following CBD recipe contains Epsom salts.

• CBD is absorbed more efficiently through the skin

Soaking a CBD bath will absorb the CBD faster than it would if it were taken orally.

What you need to make your bath bomb

Here is a list of the things you will need to make your bath bombs. Choose a color that you find comfortable and use an essential oil that has the scent that you find most relaxing. The addition of the Epsom salts will help relieve your muscle pain and will work in tandem with the CBD you have added.

• Molds for bath bombs
• 1 cup of baking soda
• ½ cup citric acid
• ½ cup of Epsom salt
• ½ cup of cornstarch
• Pigment powder of your choice
• 2 ½ teaspoons of almond, coconut, avocado or walnut oil
• ¾ tablespoon of water
• 15 drops of essential oil of your choice
• 1 gram of CBD flower

Steps to Making Your CBD Infused Bath Bombs

Once you have all of the ingredients, there are seven easy steps to making your bath bombs!

Step one

The first step is to activate the flower that you want to use in your bath bomb. Decaboxylate the plant material that you plan to use.

Step two

Once you’ve decarboxylated the CBD, the next step is to infuse the material into an oil of your choice.

Step three

When the infusion process is complete, the next step is to remove the material from the oil.

Step four

Put all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

Step five

Mix the oil and water in a separate bowl and slowly add the dry ingredients so the mixture doesn’t bubble. The citric acid will make the bath bomb bubble so you’ll need to take your time so the mixture doesn’t bubble too quickly.

Step six

If the mixture looks like wet sand, the next step is to pack the mixture into the bath bomb mold, overfill each side, and then put them together. Give the mixture a few minutes to set before removing the shapes. Once you’ve taken the bath bombs out of the mold, let them sit for at least 24 hours before using them.

Step seven

After the bath bombs are set and dry, you can wrap them in a cellophane bag and secure them with a twist tape.

Something to consider

If you work for an organization where you are frequently tested for drug use, you should probably avoid using CBD or THC bath bombs. When you take a bath, your skin is in an increased state of absorption. This high rate of absorption means cannabinoids can easily get through your skin and bloodstream.

The oil with which you infuse the plant material plays an important role in the bioavailability of the cannabinoids in the bath balm. Soaking in the tub for an hour will allow you to fully absorb all of the cannabinoids your body needs to relieve your discomfort.
