How do cannabis-infused bath bombs work?

“ELEMENT

A cannabis bath (ball) that has been infused with relaxing marijiuna may have the same size, shape and color as a regular bath bomb but it works differently.

The cutaneous receptors that are present in the skin allow feelings of temperature and pain. The absorption of cannabinoids like THC and CBD is also enabled by these receptors.

Once the cannabinoids are absorbed, they can provide relief from conditions such as stiffness, itching and inflammation. This means that a cannabis-infused bath bomb can help with any of these issues. This type of bath bomb can also help to soothe aches and pains. Creating cannabis-infused bath is a relatively simple process.
