The CBD Spa at SCHLOSS Zermatt is the first of its kind in Switzerland, and we’re proud to work with the Kiara Naturals team who bring CBD and vital mushrooms to life in safe and accessible ways.
What is CBD?
CBD is short for cannabidiol – the second most abundant and non-psychoactive cannabinoid next to the more familiar THC. Based on millennia-old traditions of alternative practices, it is a naturally active ingredient with zero intoxicating effects.
CBD is a non-psychoactive component of cannabis. While cannabis is illegal in many parts of the world, the CBD derivative is legal in many countries when used for health and wellness purposes. CBD extractions are considered food supplements in most of the EU and the US.
Why we believe in CBD
CBD has a reputation for its relaxing, pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and anxiety-reducing effects. Here’s what it can do:
- Enhance the functioning of our endocannabinoid system, a complex network responsible for maintaining the body's internal stability and balance, known as homeostasis.
- With potent anti-inflammatory properties, CBD proves effective in alleviating conditions linked to inflammation, including acne, psoriasis, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.
- CBD addresses various forms of pain, such as back pain, cancer-related pain, neuropathic pain, and the side effects of chemotherapy.
- Beyond its impact on physical ailments, CBD aids in managing anxiety-related conditions like PTSD and social anxiety disorder.
- While additional research is necessary to fully comprehend the mechanisms, CBD has demonstrated its ability to enhance sleep cycles and reduce morning grogginess.
- CBD mitigates factors that naturally diminish focus, thereby enhancing concentration.
How we use CBD in the spa
CBD is used extensively in our CBD Spa across a wide range of treatments, for example with CBD oils and in the CBD herbal sauna. In the spa we also have a steam bath, Mediterranean bath, Finnish Sauna and other spa classics such as the Caldarium and the Laconium.
Of course, if you’d prefer not to have a CBD-infused massage then we can carry out any treatment using our range of CBD-free oils and products that can either invigorate or relax.
