How to make CBD infused bath bombs

Date:

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

Using CBD topically has more potent effects since the cannabinoid compounds get absorbed into bloodstream directly and aren’t spread thin throughout your body. CBD topicals are a great way to treat minor or local discomfort in your muscles or joints and even soothe skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Why you should consider using CBD bath bomb

Before you make your bath bombs, it helps to learn the benefits you gain using one. Here’s a list of some of the benefits you get from using CBD bath bombs:

  • Hot baths improve CBD’s anti-inflammatory
    benefits
    Soaking in a hot water bath with a bath bomb speeds up CBD absorption into your
    bloodstream and skin through your pores.
  • CBD can make baths more relaxing than they
    already are

When you take a bath, it delivers lots of minerals that are great for soreness. A CBD bath can relax, decompress, and ease musculoskeletal pain and inflammation. The CBD in your bath can also soothe skin conditions. The CBD recipe below includes Epsom salts.

  • CBD gets absorbed more efficiently through the
    skin

When you soak in a CBD bath, the CBD is
absorbed quicker than oral ingestion.

What you need to make your bath bomb

Here’s a list of the things you’ll need to make your bath bombs. Choose a colour that you find comforting, and use an essential oil that has the scent you’ll find most relaxing. The addition of the Epsom salt will help ease your muscle pain,  working alongside the CBD you’ve added.

  • Bath bomb moulds
  • 1 cup of baking soda
  • ½ cup of citric acid
  • ½ cup of Epsom salt
  • ½ cup of cornstarch
  • Your choice of pigment powder
  • 2 ½ teaspoons almond, coconut, avocado, or
    walnut oil
  • ¾ tablespoons of water
  • 15 drops of essential oil of your choice
  • 1 gram of CBD flower

Steps to make your CBD infused bath bombs

Once you have all the ingredients, making your bath bombs is
possible in seven steps!

Step One

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

Step Two

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

Step Three

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

Step Four

Combine all dry ingredients in a large-sized bowl and mix it
well.

Step Five

In a separate bowl, combine oil and water and slowly add dry
ingredients so the mixture doesn’t fizz. The citric acid is what makes the bath
bomb fizz, so you’ll need to take your time so the mixture doesn’t fizz too
soon.

Step Six

When the mixture looks like wet sand, the next step is to
pack the mix into the bath bomb mould, overfilling each side and then putting
it together. Give the mixture a few minutes to firm up before removing the moulds.
Once you remove the bath bombs from the mould, you’ll want to leave them out
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 fasten them with a twist tie.

Something to consider while using CBD bath bombs

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

The oil that you infuse the plant material with plays an
important role in making cannabinoids in the bath balm bioavailable. Taking a
nice soak for an hour in the tub allows you to fully absorb all the
cannabinoids your body needs to soothe your discomfort.
