Why Massage Should Be Part of Your Health Routine

There are few things more luxurious than a massage. Massage invites a certain scene in the mind’s eye — low lights, calming music, soothing scents, and deep relaxation. For many, booking a massage is a treat reserved for special occasions like birthdays or vacations, but massage is increasingly recognized as an important tool for regular holistic self-care.

Massage therapy offers an abundance of benefits for both body and mind. Physically, deep tissue work relieves muscle tension, eases soreness, and can address pain. Regular sessions can speed recovery after workouts, improve flexibility, and promote better posture. Mentally, massage helps lower feelings of stress and anxiety, allowing the mind to rest and relax more easily. 

In our Mother’s Day update, we shared that Laura and Zach welcomed a new baby boy into the family. For Laura, massage has been central to her pregnancies and postpartum self care, and it’s been our Lavender CBD Massage & Body Oil doing the heavy lifting.

Massage therapy can benefit just about everyone — athletes, farmers, students, office managers, and of course moms. New mothers lose sleep, experience rapid changes to their bodies, and feel new, big emotions. 

Incorporating cannabinoids into massage therapy can enhance the benefits, and evidence suggests CBD can support pain management, while CBG can support minor aches and inflammation. When applied to the skin, cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, impacting a number of biological processes. Cannabinoids also interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to enhance mental benefits of massage, often elevating the calming effects and quieting mind chatter. 

Professional Massage Therapy with CBD

We are proud to partner with local massage therapists who share our commitment to wellness. Hayley Games, owner of Innate Energy Massage and Yoga in Newburyport, has offered massage oils from The Healing Rose in her sessions since 2016. 

“My clients have told me they noticed the difference afterwards because it provides preventative maintenance and relief when inflammation occurs, whether they’re dealing with arthritis or a flare up from fibromyalgia or any kind of chronic pain,” Hayley says of The Healing Rose massage oils.

Hayley believes the products work to replenish the body’s endocannabinoid system, and uses topicals from The Healing Rose in her own daily routine. She applies oils after a shower to support her eczema condition, and today, she shares that what started as a business relationship feels more like friendship.

“They really care about what’s in their products, which really makes my clients feel a lot safer because there’s a lot of gray area with all these ingredients that we can’t pronounce,” Hayley says. “They were wonderful in introducing the product itself, and we just became friends. It was just so natural, and I know their daughters and now their wonderful son. In business, you’re talking to this very small team. It’s definitely so much different than dealing with a large company in another state, and I feel so much better knowing that the products and the relationship are coming from that small, homegrown place.”

Haley has partnered with The Healing Rose to offer massage therapy at dozens of events since 2017, including the Los Angeles Fit Expo, NECANN Boston, the Boston Freedom Rally, SOWA Boston, and so many more. We are proud to partner with her to offer healing experiences in our community.
