CHABA

Beginning this summer, Cathy will be offering CHABA massage. CHABA stands for Cannabis Health And Beauty Aids. According to Washington State law (RCW 69.50.575), “CHABA are products containing parts of the cannabis plant, is intended for use only as a topical application to provide therapeutic benefit or enhance appearance, contains a THC concentration of not more than 0.3%, does not cross the blood-brain barrier; and is not intended for ingestion by humans or animals.” CHABA products are non-intoxicating and are within the scope of practice of a WA licensed Massage Therapist. Research has shown that CBD products can help alleviate pain, inflammation, and even help with stress and anxiety due in part to the study of the body’s Endocannabinoid System and the cannabinoid receptors contained within the brain that help the body to maintain homeostasis within the body at the cellular level.
