CBD Massage for Pain Relief
A CBD massage at The Spa at Palencia is a great introduction to the benefits of CBD. The non-psychoactive compounds of the hemp plant work with the body to not only calm the nervous system, but also reduce inflammation and pain. The CBD products we utilize in our spa are transdermal, which enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the entire body.
Imagine a massage that goes beyond the surface. When CBD is incorporated, it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system to reduce inflammation and soothe pain. This can make a deep tissue massage feel like pure bliss, as the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD work to alleviate chronic pain and tension.
It's most known for being effective in alleviating arthritis, tendonitis and muscle inflammation. If any of these ailments apply to you, CBD may be a great aid in helping you feel your best. We offer 60-90 minutes of natural healing.
Warm Stone Massage
Warm stones used in massage can help with a variety of issues, including pain relief, improved circulation, and stress reduction. The heat from the stones can help relax muscles, which can be especially helpful for people with chronic pain or muscle tightness. The heat can also improve circulation, which can help reduce muscle soreness and promote healing. The warmth of the stones can also help reduce stress and anxiety, and can have a calming effect on the nervous system.
A warm stone massage can also be just as beneficial to the muscles as a therapeutic deep tissue massage. Heat from the stones allow the muscles to relax and your massage therapist to get deeper into the muscle layers. The heat also provides more blood circulation which leads to the healing of muscle tissue. More blood flow to the muscle tissue allows more oxygen and nutrients into the muscle, allowing it to heal and relax.
Studies show that a hot stone massage may be a helpful way to reduce stress and anxiety, promote relaxation, and ease. The warmth of the stones calms the nervous system, which can help you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Heat stimulates the nervous system, which triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. The relaxation response and balanced energy flow can help decrease anxiety and improve sleep quality.
The most common type of stone used in a warm stone massage is basalt stones. They are a volcanic rock that contain a high level of iron, allowing the stones to hold heat longer than any other type of stone. Here at The Spa at Palencia, we use both basalt stones and pink Himalayan stones. While the stones are smooth, Himalayan stones have the added benefit of a light exfoliation while nourishing the skin. Himalayan stones also emit negative ions, making them a very grounding stone which leads to a deeply relaxing massage.
Benefits of a Dry Scrub
Dry scrubbing is a time-honored skincare routine, yet its benefits often remain under the radar. It's a simple, quick, and effective way to rejuvenate your skin, providing a host of benefits that go beyond just the surface.
First off, let's talk about exfoliation. A dry scrub removes dead skin cells, making a way for fresh, radiant skin. This exfoliation helps to unclog pores and reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs, giving you a smoother, softer skin,
Plus, it enhances the absorption of any skincare products you apply afterward, making them more effective.
The benefits don't stop at the surface. Dry scrubbing also promotes better blood circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system. This helps you detoxify your body by encouraging the elimination of waste products, reducing the appearance of cellulite and giving your skin a more even tone. Moreover, the act of dry scrubbing can be incredibly invigorating .It's a mini-massage that boosts your energy levels, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized. The gentle friction from the scrub can also help to relieve muscle tension and stress.
Our dry scrub enhancement and our body polish service was made to slough off the first layer of dead skin cells leaving fresh new skin for our deep moisture application. Whether it's a colder season (needing to moisturize the new skin cells) or summer (needing to scrub off the sunscreen layer of build up), our dry scrub is the perfect fit fo renewing you skin and it's natural glow.
