CBD is one of the biggest trends in spa and wellness. With the passing of the 2018 Congressional Farm Bill, hemp was legalized in all 50 states of the U.S. as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC. As a result of the legalization, hemp and the component CBD is expected to increase in sales by 700% from 2016 to 2020. CBD has been found to relieve pain, stress and anxiety, just to name a few. It is the result of scientific research, which has pushed the demand for CBD based products. According to the Institute of Medicine of The National Academies, “100 Million people suffer from chronic pain.” At the same time, 85% of American adults say they have problems sleeping at night according to the Better Sleep Council. It would seem CBD is a simple, easy and now legal fix for the major health challenges facing spa and wellness consumers.
