Cannabis Bath Bombs: A New Way to Relax

If you’ve tried regular bath bombs and want to send your relaxation to the next level, take a look below to learn how to make THC bath bombs and for our guide to finding the best THC and CBD bath products for this holiday season.

What is a bath bomb?

Bath bombs are single-use, circular blends of skin-softening extracts and essential oils you can throw in the bathtub before getting in. The main ingredients are sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, which interact when dissolved in water to create the fizzing sensation that gives it the name “bath bomb.”

Once the bath bomb is tossed into the water and a reaction occurs, it dissolves and breaks apart, releasing fantastic aroma and skin-softening benefits.

Bath Bomb Benefits

Using a bath bomb allows you a few minutes of alone time and mindfulness to enhance your mood and reflect on the day. Choosing an aroma and ingredients that will offer relaxation, pleasant fragrances, and skin healing benefits is essential. For example, select bath bomb ingredients with refreshing eucalyptus for muscle pain relief or a scent of French lavender for a calming, anti-stress experience.

Once dissolved, bath bombs release citric acid that fizzes and helps loosen old or damaged skin. The oils in bath bombs are typically moisturizing, so these hydrating effects can leave your skin feeling soft and healthy after soaking for a while.

Beyond the bath bomb benefits, soaking the body in a warm bath for fifteen or twenty minutes can help you decompress and soothe sore muscles and tension.

Sodium bicarbonate is the primary ingredient in bath bombs and is high in alkaline levels known to remove toxins. The common name for sodium bicarbonate is baking soda, known for its detoxing, antifungal, and antibacterial properties.

How to Use a Bath Bomb

Follow the steps provided below to ensure you are getting the most out of your bath bomb experience:

Start by organizing and decluttering your bathroom space. Light a few candles, dim the lights, grab a glass of wine or a joint, and find a chill playlist.

To ensure you are comfortable after the bath, prepare fresh, warm towels, a clean rug, and your favorite robe/slippers.

Fill your bathtub with warm water, then unwrap and drop the bath bomb in your tub to see the immediate fizzy effects begin. As it soaks in the water, the bath bomb will begin to break apart, releasing the essential oils and fragrance.

We recommend soaking in the bath for around twenty minutes to receive the full health benefits. Once finished, it’s vital to rinse out the tub so that it’s not slippery and grimy for your next shower or bath.
