Bath bombs, bath salts, shampoos, soaps, and shower gels have been added to what seems like an infinite list of Cannabidiol-infused products on the market in 2019 - of course, you already know that beverages, skincare, and even hamburgers have already received the CBD treatment.
Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC), CBD is a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid known for its calming effects - it won't get you high. It has been touted for a wide variety of health issues, from helping with issues such as anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, and skincare conditions like eczema, to reducing or putting a stop to seizures in children diagnosed with certain epilepsy syndromes.
