Using CBD as Part of Your Workout Routine

CBD FOR WORKOUT RECOVERY 

CBD has had a moment this past year.

If there is one ingredient that’s had a moment over the past year, it’s CBD, or cannabidiol. The cannabinoid, or chemical compound, is found in marijuana and hemp and has been tossed into just about everything, from sports drinks and beers to face masks and lip gloss. This has led to a total oversaturation of CBD products, and with little regulation. You really have to do your research on a company if you want the real benefits of CBD! 

This is one reason I really love VIIA. Their namesake comes from ‘via’ like ‘the way’ (which btw we live for a travel-feel brand moment, even in these times), and their founders are Max and Autumn, who bonded over using CBD for their chronic panic and anxiety respectively. As someone who lives with both at various times, I’ve been playing with CBD products since they first hit the market! VIIA has stood out as one of my favorites for a few reasons: their pure ingredients, their compassionate founders, their products (which actually WORK!), and the fact that everything they make smells and tastes good! 

One of my favorites from VIIA is their Lavender Lemongrass Roll-On, which I’ve been using for general aches and pains, and as a little recovery booster after intense yoga sessions and home workouts. Just take a look at these ingredients:

Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Broad-Spectrum CBD oil, Organic Arnica Flowers, Organic Calendula Flowers, Organic Comfrey Leaf, Organic Lavender Essential Oil, Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil, Organic Rosemary Essential Oil 

VIIA’s drops and roll-ons.

First- I LOVE when a product’s ingredients are this basic. There’s nothing weird; no fillers. And- I love essential oils! I have a gang of them and use them in baths, as a perfume replacement, and as aromatherapy. VIIA’s Lavender Lemongrass Roll-On has a bright lavender/lemongrass scent without feeling too earthy, the product absorbs quickly, and it has been my post-workout burst of freshness while also ACTUALLY targeting sore muscles. The best part honestly is that it doesn’t STAY oily on your skin- I’ve tried a ton of other CBD oils and creams that leave a residue behind or come off when you touch them but VIIA absorbs. I’m obsessed.
