Smokey’s Bath Bombs: Sleepy Time (Lavender, Chamomile & Melatonin)

Smokey’s Bath Bombs – Sleepy Time Melatonin

Combining CBD and THC with Your Bath

Adding CBD and THC into your bath is a way to take up your pamper session just a notch.
The combined cannabinoids will soak into your skin and reach the endocannabinoid system, providing your body with health benefits while you soak.

Simply sit back, unwind, and let the bath bomb go to work – you don’t even have to lift a finger, or a dropper bottle of oil!

How to Use Smokey’s Bath Bombs

Just like any other bath bomb, drop it into the water and watch it fizz and dissolve.

For optimum results and benefits, make sure you soak in the bath for at least 30 minutes.

The Benefits of Baths

Baths can relieve soreness in the muscles and joints: Hot water in your bath can loosen up the muscles and joints.

If you have inflammation that is causing you chronic pain, a bath can be the ideal way to help everything loosen. Plus, it can be good for muscular injuries as an alternative to – or a combined effort with – stretching and low-intensity exercise.

Baths can clear the respiratory system: You may have heard that steam clears your sinuses when you have a cold. This is true, and if you have a cold, then taking a hot bath may help. But your respiratory system can still benefit from a bath even if you aren’t ill. If your chest is submerged in warm water, the temperature and pressure of the water can help to improve airflow in the lungs. The temperature may also increase your heart rate, improving the function of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Baths improve blood flow: Speaking of increasing heart rate, the temperature of a hot bath also dilates the blood vessels. Vasodilation, the expansion of your blood vessels, can reduce blood pressure and really get the blood pumping around your body. This is also why your skin sometimes goes a bit red after a hot bath.

Baths can boost your mood: There is just something serene about lying in a tub of warm water and soaking in the bubbles. Warm water baths have been shown to increase serotonin levels, helping you to feel happier. You can also enhance this effect by adding in little extras – muscle soak, scented candles and, of course, bath bombs.

Melatonin & CBD

Tired of those restless nights? Lack of sleep can leave you feeling moody, stressed and irritable. Melatonin and CBD oil both promote sleep, but work in different ways to do so.

Unlike regular vitamins and supplements, when you take melatonin it is treated by the body as if it were created internally. Instead of breaking it down and converting it into something usable, your body is able to metabolize melatonin immediately, without further processing. The same is true for CBD oil.

Just how cannabidiol (CBD) is able to yield benefits by replicating your body’s own endocannabinoids, melatonin supplements do the same to help regulate your circadian rhythm, or natural sleep-wake cycle.

During normal waking hours, there is very little melatonin circulating in your body. Instead, there are other hormones like cortisol at work, which keep you alert and awake. But as day turns into night, the levels of melatonin in your system start to rise as the sun goes down, peaking overnight and slowly reducing toward the morning. Taking a melatonin supplement before bed increases the amount of melatonin in the body and can encourage rest and deeper sleep.

Meanwhile, CBD oil promotes sleep by reducing cortisol levels and anxiety. Cortisol levels should naturally fall overnight, but if you’re overly stressed, they can spike and remain high, making falling asleep near impossible. CBD oil has been shown to inhibit the release of cortisol, and could help reduce the stress that’s barring you from a good night’s sleep. Since CBD oil can also help with anxiety, your overall stress levels should dip and remain lower, making relaxation and a good night’s sleep more achievable.

With all this in mind, taking CBD oil and melatonin together may create a powerful aid to fight insomnia. Because cannabidiol and melatonin act on different systems in the body, currently, it is believed there is no risk for adverse side effects when combining the two.

Melatonin signals your body that it is time to sleep, while CBD oil works in tandem to provide overall relaxation and calm. Together, they deliver a one-two punch to insomnia and sleep disturbances.

Getting a good night’s rest with topical melatonin

Poor sleep adversely affects nearly every system of the body, including its largest organ—the skin.
Inadequate sleep can lead to bags under the eyes, wrinkles and furrows, and poor skin tone, contributing to premature aging.
The hormone melatonin is responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles and plays a key role in skin repair and renewal.
Aging and sleep disturbances can decrease the body’s production of melatonin.
Topical application of melatonin rejuvenates the skin through numerous mechanisms, including fighting free radicals, providing photoprotection, and supporting skin healing.
